As equipment malfunctions pile up, he must determine if he is suffering from severe isolation-induced paranoia, or if Earth actually went silent fifteen years ago and her ship's computer is generating deepfakes to keep him docile. ⚠️ Content Ownership Notice All stories, artwork, thumbnails, and animations featured on this channel are original creations of Galactic Horrors.
