The Alien Ship Fired. The Humans Came Back to Help. | HFY

The damaged alien ship destroyed their probe. Seven humans came back to help anyway—and their choice opened a door humanity could never close. The Unknown Vessel begins Who We Become, an original, interconnected HFY science-fiction universe. Aboard the frontier recovery ship Waymark, first contact becomes a rescue with no shared language, no guarantee of trust, and no safe way to share the same air.
