Brain Space

As the crew of the Starship Interchange has now learned, when the AI you've been mistreating for centuries turns out to be something else entirely, it can lead to some tense interactions in the mess. With Earth wiped out, and half her crew gone, the Interchange limps toward Sirius—the Dog Star, which aliens call the Beacon.

A dark force has all but taken over, and galactic powers are fighting over what's left.

The drive works flawlessly, at first. Just as they start to relax, the drive places them in orbit around a partially abandoned research site. Partially, because the corporation that set it up abandoned the researchers there.
