The Progeny try to unpack what looked like Tameka's demise, but after a few pep talks, Xelan continues to stage the battle to save the galaxy from Imminent's clutches.

Meanwhile, Tameka clears their way to the bridge which pilots the Dyson's Sphere while making a few discoveries along the way. Pax is on their minds, and Rayne is never far from their mission.

Imminent unravels under the pressure of millennia in the making, learning their threadbare partnerships may not hold up given what's at stake-Enki, the Vast Collective, and existence as they know it.

For Tameka, Sagan, Rayne, Kyle, and Andrew, nothing is more important than making it out together. But with obstacles mounting, that becomes a less attainable goal.

The finale to Drowning Enki's trilogy awaits, and the end of everything grows nearer.
