    Summary

    One day, the stars disappeared without a trace.

    And we all know who’s fault it is.

    The wormhole. The power core. A violent flash into another reality. One where humanity is brought to ruin among dying colonies and moons built of blood. The Engineer did not just make a single mistake. He caused a collapse that echoed across universes.

    And then there is Simon.

    The Butcher. A title whispered to him like a curse. Eden. The Tree. Filament station, lost. A man condemned for crimes committed in desperation, sent into a coffin of encased steel. What would happen if, just if, the engineer stumbled into the Iron Lung itself? A portal into Simon’s nightmare of desperation.

    Summary

    The warp core is missing, and so are the stars. Stuck in a dead universe no way back to his crew, Mark is forcefully taken in by the C.O.I and tasked with building the SM-13. It's the strongest ship they've got, but something isn't right. People are still dying, despite the sub remaining untouched. Determined to help and rebel against their tactics, Mark concocts a plan to stay in communication with the next convict they send down, without the C.O.I's knowledge.

    Simon can't make sense of it, this C.O.I member wanting to help him, his strange ramblings of other universes and wormholes and paradoxes. The company was nice, he supposed. As the two exchange theories and conversations and comforts, the horrors persist, secrets are unearthed and discoveries are made that could possibly change everything.

    But why does it feel like they're the only ones who care?

    Summary

    In a dry, raspy voice, Simon croaks, “Fuck.”

    Immediately, the blurry figure’s head snaps over to look at him. “Are you awake, or just talking in your sleep again?” an unfamiliar voice demands—low, with a twitch of an accent that Simon doesn’t recognize.

    Simon blinks, but his vision only clears minimally. The ceiling is an off-white blur that smears as he turns his head to look at the stranger. He doesn’t recognize him; bandages obscure the details of his face. “I talk in my sleep?” he asks.

    “A lot. It’s annoying.”

    Simon wakes up in sick bay, quarantined with the man he accidentally irradiated and permanently blinded. Mutual hatred (of a sort) ensues.
