Synopsis
To give their own AI a fighting chance against Chimera's brute-force hive mind, the crew must execute a suicidal heist to recover a legendary piece of Precursor technology from the depths of the ocean: the Obsidian Wafer. Processing at the speed of light, it is the only hardware capable of housing a Tier-0 intelligence without melting. But the Syndicate has sent a "Cleaner" to stop them, and he has strict orders not to kill Simon. The machine wants Simon alive to force his biometric handshake and execute the kill-switch. Cornered and outgunned, Simon must break into the most heavily guarded ruins on Earth before the dark signal silences them all.
