Daelia Hall has a mission.

After the revelations on Numina, she's determined to reveal Unity's true nature to the world. Whatever it takes. The only problem? She's got no hard evidence, just the word of a slightly crazed abiota and her own bad memories.

Her solution? Locked away in the student database at her alma mater are the clues to who-or what-is behind Unity. Getting to it won't be easy. With her network access turned off, the only option is a hack. A cyber heist, as Argo calls it.

Fortunately, it's Halloween weekend in a college town, so the predictive abiota that runs network security might just be distracted enough for this to work. Even with that, Daelia will have to rely on old friends and new partners to get what she needs.

But returning to the Ware College of Graduate Engineering is the last thing Daelia ever wanted to do. And when nothing goes to plan, it's not just her life that's on the line, but those of everyone she loves.
