Asha-9 does not remember who she is.

She awakens from cryosleep alone aboard a vessel drifting through an abandoned system — a ship with no signs of damage, no crew, and no log entries explaining why it was evacuated.

Ship records identify her only as “Asset: Asha-9”.

Medical scans reveal something impossible:

• She has been in cryostasis for decades... possibly centuries

• Her pregnancy has been artificially stabilized, slowed but not halted

• The fetus emits energy signatures unlike any known human biology

The ship’s remaining power was redirected exclusively to her chamber — as if the entire vessel existed only to keep her and the child alive.

Asha has no memory of the child’s father.
No memory of Earth.
No memory of the program that created her.

But sometimes, when she sleeps, she whispers coordinates... star systems that no longer exist.
