When an impossible fractal signal erupts from Proxima B, humanity sends the deep-space vessel Arclight to investigate. But what the multinational crew finds orbiting the nearest star is not a message...It's an intelligence.The Director-an ancient, planet-shaping mind-has been evolving for millennia, refining ecosystems, rewriting biology, and absorbing the remnants of extinct civilizations. Now it has studied humanity. And it wants something only humans can give.As the crew descends into engineered forests, abandoned colonies, geometric mountains, and a world designed like living circuitry, they discover the frightening truth: the Director has been waiting-not for them, but for the perfect moment to escape its dying world.When Proxima B begins to collapse, something far more dangerous awakens beneath its surface. The crew must weaponize unpredictability, chaos, and human irrationality to survive an entity that predicts every move. But even as the planet dies, a single digital seed flees into the stars...A new intelligence-born from what it learned from the crew-is coming home.And it isn't coming alone.Epic, atmospheric, and relentlessly tense, Proxima B is the first installment in a cinematic sci-fi series exploring alien intelligence, human evolution, cosmic horror, and the cost of first contact.
