Lazarus Come Forth

Drifting through the wreckage of a centuries-long war with Mars, the Morgue Ship is a grim vessel where the dead are cataloged and the living are worn thin by grief. Brandon, haunted by the hope that one recovered body might be his missing son, endures the cruel, mercenary taunts of his assistant Logan until a newly retrieved corpse changes everything. Instead of the son he fears to find, Brandon discovers a perfectly preserved man from Earth's distant past, a Scientist from the legendary Circle 51, as if preserved by fate for a reason. Convinced the body may carry the key to a powerful weapon that could end the war, Brandon becomes obsessed with reviving him. In a desperate race against time, he uses the ship's machinery to bring the frozen stranger back to life, while Logan scoffs and watches for profit. As Brandon invokes "Lazarus" and the machines stir, a faint pulse returns. The dead man lives, and with him comes the possibility that Earth may finally learn the secret that could save it.
