It’s Earth, 2099 and three close friends; St. Mungo, Gundel, and Arkil, are on a mission to save the lives of 78 scientists, a thousand light years out of Earthside who have been partially terminated in a seemingly unprovoked attack on the edge of the Colony Line. As they sift through the debris, they realise that the attack was anything but pointless.It’s just the last turn of a century-long war being fought over control of our Galaxy.The more they uncover, they begin to understand that their actions are being controlled by a secret group of ultra-fast machine intelligence agents, called the Core. It's only then they begin to understand that their role in the plan has always been to bring home one of the most destructive appliances ever built.
