Deephive — Chapter list

Deephive is a deep-space colonial horror saga told in serial form. In the year 2297, Ark Nine carries one hundred thousand cryogenic colonists to Kepler-942c. The planet checks every box — breathable atmosphere, liquid water, magnetosphere, near-Earth gravity, surface vegetation — and every public dataset confirms it habitable. Then the deep-layer scan picks up an anomaly: a heartbeat, once every seventy-two seconds, originating from thirty-seven kilometers underground.
