An unpublished sci-fi novel by Meshakhad.

Centuries after a stellar disaster wipes out most of human civilization, the salvage ship Raven rescues a rogue archaeologist who has made the discovery of a lifetime - a working pre-disaster AI, and one who can lead them to the wreck of an advanced warship loaded with lost technology. Unfortunately, they soon run afoul of a power-hungry government scientist, and now their only chance to survive is to venture into deadly radiation-filled space and find the ship.

This story contains examples of:

• Ethical Slut: Daniella Mason.
• Everyone Went To School Together: Fauntleroy and Parr were classmates (and rivals) at school.
