I screamed at Choi to hit the purge. He slammed his palm down. The alarm wailed. The EMP fried every circuit in the bay.
Choi laughed nervously. “Primary function? It was a cartography drone. Map asteroids and gas clouds.”

We found the probe exactly where the beacon said it would be. Tucked into the gravity well of a dead star, floating like a polished coffin. The hull was unmarked, which should have been my first warning. Something that’s been adrift for 400 years doesn’t stay pristine.
It was a mapper of souls .
