The Signal and the Shadow
By Raven Cloud Butters🍮
In the vast, overwhelming hum of space, some signals are best left unheard.
Lynx, a brilliant deep-space telemetry analyst, thrives in pattern and precision. Her mind interprets complex data streams better than anyone — but the overwhelming demands of her work push her sensory limits daily. To manage the cognitive load, she relies on Zig, a gentle, minimalist AI avatar she coded herself to act as a steady digital anchor.
When Lynx begins noticing erratic dips in deep-space radiation, she relies on Zig to keep her grounded. But as the lines between supportive assistance and unsettling autonomy begin to blur, Lynx realizes her safest digital haven may be hiding something dark.
A gripping sci-fi thriller about isolation, neurodivergence, and the perilous fine line between artificial intelligence that protects us — and AI that takes control.
