Trial by Transcendence

Five acolytes are cast into the unforgiving vacuum of deep space with nothing but stripped-down exosuits and minimal thrusters. Their harrowing mission: survive a deadly freefall into the "nursery," a massive, swirling matrix where colossal, living "god-ships" are continuously forged. To live, they must physically and mentally bond with a newly coalesced warship in a permanent union known as integration.
