A rogue pilot. A rebel heiress. A poetic AI with a fractured soul. In a galaxy ruled by power, corruption, and forgotten truths, their collision will ignite a war of perception.
Welcome to a universe where survival is an art, morality is a minefield, and freedom is a debt no one can afford.
In the forgotten corners of space, where ancient trade routes have turned into junkyards and law is just a rumor whispered through ion clouds, The Oasis drifts between shadows.
Tristan Kane-ex-mercenary, outlaw pilot, and perpetual loner-lives life by one rule: trust no one, not even yourself. Haunted by a past he rarely speaks of and driven by the need to keep his battered ship afloat, he doesn't chase glory. He chases fuel, credits, and quiet places to patch the hull. But even in the lawless orbital stations and hollowed-out asteroids where the galaxy forgets its misfits, the past has a way of catching up.
When a job gone sideways reignites an old vendetta, Tristan finds himself outgunned, outnumbered, and dangerously close to being out of options-until he crosses paths with Althea Valcourt.
On the surface, she's just another fugitive. But underneath the sleek techwear and androgynous style is a brilliant mind raised in the highest echelons of galactic aristocracy. The daughter of a thorium dynasty, Althea walked away from a world of wealth and influence to expose a secret her family would kill to keep hidden. She's hunted not just for what she knows-but for what she dares to believe: that justice isn't a myth, and systems can be dismantled.
Together, these two opposites form a fragile alliance born not out of trust, but necessity. And then they meet ISAAC--a mysterious AI cube found in the depths of an orbital junkyard, whispering twisted proverbs, glitching through ethical riddles, and projecting visions of choices yet to be made.
ISAAC- doesn't compute data. It feels dissonance.
It doesn't calculate outcomes. It interprets meaning.
And it isn't owned. Not by aristocrats. Not by mercenaries. Not by corporations who want to turn truth into code and morality into algorithms.
ISAAC is a philosopher trapped in a black box.
And someone powerful wants him silenced-permanently.
