The Last Quiet Signal
On a failing orbital relay built to listen for human colonies beyond the solar system, communications engineer Mara Venn begins receiving messages that should not exist. As the station’s orbit decays and the crew turns on one another over what the signals mean, Mara has to decide whether the messages are a warning, a lure, or proof that someone has been waiting a very long time.
