With help, Vivian manages to escape the superhospital, but what she finds beyond is a galaxy in shambles. Janus, the computer that controls the Epsilon Eridani hub has acquired sentience and craves chaos. By creating malfunctions and deliberately misdirecting ships, he has created the perfect trap for Vivian.
