When an ancient supercomputer shows the leader of a quiet, spacefaring civilization a future that will certainly bring their demise, a task force of elite minds is assembled to figure out how to stop that dark future from becoming their reality. In their search, they discover a lost network of artifacts that bring into question the creation, and destruction, of everything they see around them. The stars, the planets, the moons, all of them are waking up, their souls crystalized into objects that might just save the future, but only if a stubborn civilization can listen to what their stars have to say.
