About

A devastating virus threatens to cripple the Galactic Federations Chief Neural Core, threatening to put an end to intergalactic travel and turning a galaxy-spanning empire into mere island settlements - disconnected and alone. Ikalo Pann, Captain of the Starship Leviathan, must track down the source of this virus and bring the unknown terrorists before the Federation to answer for their crimes. An encrypted message sent by a dead man offers a single thread to unwind the mystery. Within are galactic coordinates and a brief message: "Come find me, Pann..." Join Ikalo as she solves hundreds of complex puzzles, explores planets for clues and uncovers a deep science fiction mystery.
