There's an intergalactic space station out there bigger than our solar system that wants everyone to come along and meet up. The beacon made it sound like a utopia, but what Niko finds upon her arrival is a lawless expanse where everyone is out for themselves and she's so late she doesn't even have a seat at the table.
Niko continues to fight to discover the true story of the sphere. She learns about some buried secrets, and this means the secrets also learn about her. Can she survive when the builders of the beacon arrive to harvest the crop they have sown?
