The year is 2095. The world is made of frozen debt.
On Planet Snow, the "Stain" of Ward Nine has finally hardened into a crystalline reality. Tess is a Tier-1 maintenance worker, shivering in minus-thirty-degree wind chill while her compliance terminal insists the pressure is fine. But Tess knows the machine is lying. The machines were never machines—they are the Petrified Arrears of five thousand years of stolen breath, and they are finally starting to scream.
As a "Neural Static" begins to erase the memories of the population, Tess realizes the Company isn't just harvesting labor—it’s harvesting History. When your own mind becomes a "Null" asset, who is left to remember the truth?
The Ledger is closing. The Static is here. Welcome to the Deep Snow.
