One world rescued.
More rooms recovered.
More sleeping nightmares awakened.
Jasper Cloud has assisted the Soulship in preventing the destruction of an entire world while evacuating its population, a tribe of powerful essence warriors descended from Earth's ancient master metalworkers.
New foes have arrived, requiring more powerful weapons to defeat. Luckily, the rescued tribe is bringing their expertise to the table and the battleground.
Victory will require merging his newly acquired corefire with steel imbued with the sun itself.
They've become strong enough to hold the ship's darkened halls.
But the night sky can't wait any longer to be saved.
Other powers beyond the Soulship have begun moving, endangering lives even remotely connected to the nigh-extinct starship race. If they are successful, the night sky will become awash in genocide and civil war.
Jasper and Nova must now ensure that enough of the Soulship is safe enough to shelter an evacuated population, and the only way to do so is to advance even deeper into the ancient vessel and activate systems forgotten by even the Soulship herself.
But if they can activate the ship's corefire, then all the monsters roaming between the stars, and all the tyrants seeking to profit in their wake, will finally have something to fear themselves.
Monsters are still lurking in the dark.
But now she's strong enough to fight them with him.
Jasper Cloud has managed to protect the woman serving as the Soulship's core long enough for her to recover some of her ship's systems and strengthen her battle avatar.
The time has come for them to fight together, to take back the Soulship's darkened corridors and reactivate ancient systems capable of bringing aid to the rest of the galaxy. Whether they are strong enough to battle the creatures lurking deeper within and beyond the hull itself is still unknown, but one thing is clear to them both:
Other forces are moving beyond the stars.
If they wait any longer to act, the night sky will burn.
She'll save every star in the night sky.
But only if he can keep her alive.
Jasper Cloud has reunited his friend with the Soulship, a being that is both a mighty-though damaged-living starship and a brave young woman. The Soulship has scattered her avatars, including Jasper's childhood friend, across several worlds in a desperate bid for survival. If she can just find time to repair herself, she'll return to her former glory, strong enough to overthrow the oppressors of Earth and the worlds beyond it, and setting the galaxy free once more.
But her damage is severe, and her monstrous hunters are countless. Some even lurk in the recesses of the ship itself, hunting for the young woman that serves as the Soulship's core.
Right now, Jasper is her only line of defense. He must use his wits and his newly gained power to refine both himself and the living ship all while protecting her until they can both turn the tables on the galaxy's predators.
The night sky depends on him.
But more importantly, so does she.
To save his best friend and help her overthrow a tyrannical government, Jasper Cloud
must use his newfound power to repair both himself and the star ship that made her.
Jasper Cloud is the final non-person on Earth, the orphan son of the last two executed citizens in the Global Republic. He struggles daily to survive in a world where old knowledge is now illegal.
When a new light appears in the night sky, his only friend suddenly becomes a young woman with the power to undo the current reign of tyranny. But hidden enemies are already waiting, both for her and the ship empowering her.
Jasper slips through the cracks of their trap, empowered as well. If he is careful, he can refine his newfound strength further, repair the damaged ship, and rescue the woman now determined to tear down the corrupt Republic with her bare hands.
Provided he can survive, that is.
