About
MAMAI Soliton found a way to travel through the toroid artefact in the Anti-STARC. The cryptic note he left before disappearing leads Brad and Alex to Drupa 5, a deserted alien planet. There they find a beacon in a desert canyon that might belong to MAMAI.
Next thing they hit upon a treasure trove of alien artefacts; to Alex, an explorer's dream come true - to Brad, too good to be true. Alex's personality suddenly changes. And then there are the shapes….
This moment strains their friendship and marks the start of a devious plan by unseen agents. Subsequent events drive the rift between them ever wider. Can trust win through when reality itself is being manipulated? Can friendship survive in a game dictated by malevolent superbeings?
Alex is soon lost in a higher dimension where his only hope is a friend's loyalty. In his desperation Brad accepts the help of a sinister warship and soon finds himself at the forefront of GAIA's power struggle with an old enemy, an enemy that has just taken the arms race to a completely new, and terrifying level.
• Track 1 – Expensive Coordinates – Brad and Alex look for MAMAI Soliton in a desert canyon on Drupa 5, an alien planet. What they see is not what they find, and what they find is not what it seems.
• Track 2 – Message from MAMAI – Is the beacon MAMAI's? Whose alien artefacts did they help themselves to? And what about the shapes?
• Track 3 – The Mystery Goggles – Alex finds mysterious goggles in the galley. What do they do? Kimberly, a friendly operating system guide offers to help.
• Track 4 – Entangled in Tethys – Brad and Alex pay Aleph One a visit on a moon of Saturn. They find only secrets and madness.
• Track 5 – The Siren of Drupa 5 – Kimberly makes contact again, this time without the goggles. Alex is not himself, and she bends him to her will.

• Track 7 – The Real Me in the Mirror – A bad hangover for Alex and a fall-out with his best friend. Can it get any worse?

• Track 9 – Coming Clean with GAIA – Too late. It's time to lay all cards on the table and join forces.

Next thing they hit upon a treasure trove of alien artefacts; to Alex, an explorer's dream come true - to Brad, too good to be true. Alex's personality suddenly changes. And then there are the shapes….
