    EOB PT 9 Secrets of The Plantagenet & The Grand Betrayal

    The Ascension has been disrupted. In this gripping chapter, Hadley, Von Sanders, and Roberts locate the Plantagenet—an ancient, legendary Global Crown ship left drifting like an empty carcass in a hazardous debris field. Leaving Roberts behind to guard their ticket home, Hadley and Von Sanders step inside the frozen ghost ship to finally fulfill her destiny. But as the ancient systems unexpectedly spark to life, the bridge fills with haunting holographic echoes of the past—including a vision of Hadley’s own father. When the mysterious Star is inserted into the console, the expected ascension turns into a nightmare. The crystal is drained, the ship's logic locks down, and a chilling realization sets in: Argus has betrayed them all. Can they escape the sealing bulkheads before their oxygen runs out, or will they be trapped in the graveyard of space forever? The Ghost Ship: Exploring the eerie, decaying bulkheads of Designation 975. A Voice from the Past: Hadley faces a shocking holographic projection of her father.

    Echoes of Betrayal Part 8 GCS-975 Plantagenet

    Deep in a graveyard of derelict warships, Hadley, Roberts, and Von Sanders come across a Vault — active, spinning, and very much awake. The horror isn't that there's a second one. It's that there isn't. Somehow, impossibly, it's the same Vault they left behind on reserve power. As old tensions between Hadley and Von Sanders resurface and the crew kills the ship's power to avoid detection, they're forced to confront just how far Auchinleck's reach might extend — and what it means for the Ascension. With the danger passed and a name pulled from the wreckage — GCS-975 Plantagenet — the crew edges closer to a choice that will change everything.
