ABBADON
It's late in the 23rd century and the aging interplanetary hauling vehicle Pequod is on a ten-year reclamation project on behalf of The Company, the corporation that has run North America since 2102. The crew, which includes Capt. Ira Merit, telemetry officer Gwen Hutchinson, payload specialist Augie Berger, paramedic Curtis Sandoval, systems technician Isabella Bixel and The Company's Man, Gordon Knight, is tucked away in hyper-sleep when the ship comes across a mysterious object floating through space. Awakened from their artificial slumber, they retrieve the pod and are shocked to discover the body of Virgil Nygard, executed 150 years earlier for leading his militia in the slaughter of more than a million people. They are even more shocked to discover that Nygard is alive. Bixel is murdered while investigating why the ship was millions of miles off-course and the survivors begin to wonder who among them is a follower of this mass-murderer. For his part, Nygard says The Company, which wanted to access valuable mineral deposits under his people's land, framed him and that he only fought to survive. Now, he says, he plans to return to earth to lead his once-vanquished people to freedom. As tensions mount, the survivors must ask themselves: is he telling the truth or is this a ruse concocted by a homicidal maniac and his mysterious ally?
