Marcus Theriot monitors radar systems along the Mississippi Gulf Coast, where every signal is tracked, verified, and explained.
Until one night, a second lighthouse beam appears over the water.
It doesn’t follow the same rotation.
It doesn’t match any known source.
And it begins to appear even when the lighthouse itself is out of view.
At the same time, Marcus detects an uncorrelated object offshore—something that doesn’t move like a vessel, doesn’t transmit like an aircraft, and only appears when the surrounding area is empty.
As the anomalies repeat, Marcus realizes the pattern isn’t random.
The light isn’t guiding.
It’s selecting.
