The Quiet Orbit
On a half-ruined trade route at the edge of a dead empire, a contract salvager discovers that a drifting station is not empty, only waiting. Its buried systems still remember the people who vanished there, and they are beginning to wake for reasons nobody alive understands. As rival crews close in, the salvage job turns into a choice between profit, survival, and letting an old catastrophe stay buried.
