As Bower ventures deeper into the dark and eerie corridors of the Elysium to restore power and uncover the truth, he encounters horrifying creatures and other survivors who have descended into madness. Along the way, Bower learns that the spaceship was carrying the last remnants of humanity to a new habitable planet after Earth became uninhabitable.
