Beacon 23 plot
The paths of Aster, a government agent, and Halan, a stoic ex-military man, cross paths when they become trapped together in one of the many Beacons in space that serve as a lighthouse for intergalactic travelers. Each Beacon is run by one highly trained human and a specialized artificial intelligence. Aster mysteriously finds her way to the lonely Beacon keeper Halan, and a tense battle of wills unfolds. Halan begins to wonder whether Aster is friend or foe, as her ability to hide her agenda and motives could make her a formidable opponent.
