The Amalgam Seven is behind her, but the things she saw there are not. At 0355 in a nearly empty mess hall, an unexpected conversation forces Kiri to confront a different kind of danger.

In the desecrated heart of the hulk, the mission narrows to a single objective. Kiri must decide whether to step aside — or take the shot herself.

Inside the hulk, reality begins to fray. Cult markings, warped corridors, and things that should not exist force the team to move carefully — and force Kiri to confront her own uncertainty under fire.

Kiri Havelock pilots her team toward the Amalgam Seven, a space hulk fused together by the warp and drifting between systems. As they prepare to board, old wounds resurface — and so does the question of whether the weapon on her hip is something she can truly rely on.
