Description
In the year 2255, a groundbreaking discovery is made by a young woman named Salma, who is the first to see the mysterious object known as Planet Nine. Initially thought to be a black hole, the object suddenly changes and sends a message, revealing the presence of something not quite human. This event sets off a chain reaction across the universe, drawing the attention of a small crew who are at the centre of the most dramatic discovery in history. As the implications of this event become clear, another inexplicable phenomenon occurs - a quasar appears twenty-five thousand light years away, heating up the solar system. The enigma of the creation node must be solved quickly, or there may be no one left to investigate it. The fate of humanity hangs in the balance, and the outcome is far from certain. The discovery of Planet Nine and the creation node raises fundamental questions about the nature of the universe and our place within it. Will the crew be able to unravel the mystery before it's too late, or will the universe itself hold the key to their survival?
