The final pieces of the puzzle fall into place as Captain Graham reaches the colony commander's quarters. In the silence of a dead man's office, a hidden letter reveals the horrifying truth: the Astro Dynamics Group didn't send the Zomiren to rescue a colony—they sent them to harvest a nightmare. The "crater" is an ancient alien vessel, and the colonists were nothing more than biological incubators for a weaponized species.

While the crew fights to seal the bulkheads against a relentless, superhumanly strong predator, the true enemy watches from orbit. Aboard the Zomiren, Jan Kowalski completes his transition from crewmate to corporate executioner. As Graham discovers the record of the colony's final days, the mission reaches its chilling conclusion. There are no Marines coming.

In this episode:

• The Final Stand: A desperate struggle to weld the gates shut against an evolving threat.

• The Commander’s Journal: Graham uncovers the secret history of the alien ship hidden beneath the ice.

• The Science of Sacrifice: The disturbing revelation that the infection of the colonists was intentional.

Listen to the haunting conclusion of Gamma Leporis C. In space, the most dangerous parasite isn't alien—it's corporate.
