Gideon Strake is an auditor trained to trust systems.
Until he finds one that's already decided who should survive.
Inside a failing colony, resources are shrinking—and the official model claims to distribute them fairly.
But Gideon uncovers a hidden layer.
A quiet set of variables shaping outcomes behind the scenes.
Not based on need.
Based on behavior.
Some people are being pushed closer to collapse.
Not because they're weak—
Because they're dangerous to the system.
They ask questions.
They connect information.
They make contradictions visible.
As Gideon digs deeper, the pattern becomes undeniable.
This isn't a flaw.
It's design.
Now, with oversight closing in and time running out, he has to decide:
Expose the truth…
Or become part of the system that hides it.
A tense, intelligent techno-thriller about control, survival, and what happens when understanding becomes a liability.
