The signal was always there. We just weren't listening.
In the industrial heart of Welland, Ontario, Ivara Kouri monitors Tessela-a distributed quantum system sensitive enough to hear the universe's quietest whispers. When a persistent, structured pattern emerges within the inertial noise band, it defies every law of error correction.
It's a pattern Ivara knows too well: the operational signature of her brother, Theo, who died in a catastrophic system failure two years prior.
As the anomaly scales from a local glitch to a planetary-scale reception involving Earth, the Moon, and Mars, Ivara must navigate corporate secrecy, federal intervention under the Ember doctrine, and the cold reality of quantum topology. In a world where observation changes the observed, receiving an answer might mean losing the only truth she has left.
