"The Echoes Beyond Orion"

Genre: Science Fiction / Space Opera


Chapter 1: A Voice in the Void

Captain Lyra Voss had always believed


that silence was the true sound of
space—until she heard the whisper.

The Ardent Star, a third-generation


research cruiser, drifted beyond the
edges of mapped space, past the red
dwarf Gliese-179. Their mission:
investigate anomalous gravitational
pulses disrupting nearby colonies.
What they found instead was…
nothing. No radiation, no wreckage, no
signals. Just a black void. And then the
whisper began.

It started as static over comms, then


evolved—forming syllables, then
words.

“Lyra… help me…”

Lyra froze in her command chair. No


one on the crew had spoken. Yet she
knew the voice. She hadn’t heard it in
fifteen years. Not since her brother
Micah vanished with the crew of
Vanguard 6, a ghost ship lost near the
edge of the Orion corridor.

Her first officer, Juno Delacourt, leaned


over. “Captain? You okay?”

Lyra didn’t answer. She stared at the


starless dark ahead. The whispering
was getting louder. Not in her ears—
but in her mind.

They ran scans. No known frequency.


No signal origin. But something was out
there—something vast. Something
ancient. The gravitational readings
began to spiral, folding in on
themselves like a whirlpool in
spacetime.

Lyra gave the order. “Prepare the away


pod. I’m going in.”

“You’re doing what?” Juno stepped


forward.

“I have to. He’s calling me.”

Within the hour, Lyra descended in a


sleek silver pod, guided only by the
whispers and instinct. As she passed
beyond the visible edge of space, a
structure emerged—impossible in
scale, forged of obsidian and metal that
pulsed with starlight.

There was no doubt.

It was built by something not human.

And floating in its heart was a man—


still alive—unchanged since the day he
vanished.

Micah.
