Episodes

Episode One: 'The Devil's Salvo' (Part I of II)

Aydin Hayes and Etta Mar must endure extreme conditions, as crashing starships enter into the chaotic fray of meteor storms, tsunami gales and the ground literally breaking beneath their feet...

Episode Two: 'The Stranded' (Part II of II)

Aydin and Etta attempt to assist the distraught and the dying, emerging from shattered shuttle shells and into the harsh reality of their new lives...

Episode Three: 'Cetiyah'

The Plague never died.

It is revealed that the full name of this shattered world is Lorsan-Cetiyah - a revelatory word that is both the name of this planet's fallen civilization... and the parasite that became the cause of its extinction.

Episode Four: 'First of the Coven' (Part I of III)

The power of the Amalgamation has resurrected Seterah, God of the dead and the original founder of the Coven - the first gifted with unusual, sorcerous powers... and he now leads an army.

Episode Five: 'Crucible' (Part II of III)

As Seterah and his armies march, Aydin and Etta know they must attempt to band together with other survivors - in a desperate effort to survive...

Episode Six: 'Terror Firma' (Part III of III)

The survivors' resistance - Crucible - has formed and now fights without fear, for a first foothold in an inevitable war...

Episode Seven: 'Similar Shuttles'

Etta and Aydin find some rare moments away from constant battle and death, to relax a little and get to know one another...

Episode Eight: 'Etta Mar and the Extinct'

Etta embarks on a lone pilgrimage across the empty expanse, to remember each of the fallen - before the end begins...

Episode Nine: 'Heavensfall' (Part I of II)

The army of the living has arrived.

As the dark skies above Lorsan-Cetiyah are torn asunder by the mass-shunting of thousands of combat vessels and military freighters, Aydin, Etta, Crucible, Seterah, the Amalgamation and all of its soldiers know and think a single, powerful thought: the Prophecy of the Second Kind is now...

Episode Ten: 'Ultimatum' (Part II of II)

The Prophecy always ends in death.

Aydin and Etta are presented with a choice: either join the futile war and let one army eventually wipe the other out... or fulfill the Prophecy, resulting in an extinction event - not only for all those involved, but also the complete eradication of the Cetiyah Plague itself.
