Infestation
A salvage crew faces supernatural terrors aboard an empty comet mining ship.

A couple purchases the ship at auction, unaware that something remains inside. They require assistance from Jules and MAR-A to investigate the haunting presence. Jules uses her mediumship to perceive threats hidden from normal sight, while MAR-A provides technological support and philosophical insight. The duo must protect their clients from entities that target spiritual weaknesses. The plot unfolds through their interactions with these unseen forces. Williams structures the tension around the growing realization that the ship is alive with malevolent intent. The story concludes with the characters facing terrors that challenge their existence.
