One mission, one chance: rescue a dying colony, or join them in oblivion.

The Mara colony has one desperate chance at survival. Their resources are running out, but a distress call from a nearby failing colony offers salvation: rescue its survivors, claim their abundant materials. Director Kit Red Squirrel faces an impossible choice: risk everything on a dangerous mission, or condemn Mara to a cold slow death.

Running an interplanetary space program would be hard enough if the asteroid colony’s governor didn’t insist on an impossible timeline. Despite their desperate need for rescue, he resist’s Kit’s efforts at every stage. Worse, his explanations of his colony’s fall don’t match Mara’s satellite records.

With time dwindling and growing fear she's leading her friends into a trap, Kit rallies her colony into one last, desperate gamble. Something is waiting for them in Ravana’s shadow: salvation for Mara’s immortal children, or their extinction
