In the shadow of a dying red dwarf star, aboard a half-rebuilt space station known as Vault-C, a secretive resurrection experiment unfolds. Project Golden is humanity’s most radical venture into cloning, quantum consciousness, and the alchemy of memory, an effort to bring the dead back not just in form, but in essence.

Ricken Tlyford, a devout Livian geneticist with a mind trained in restraint and hands bred for precision, finds himself an unlikely recruit. Plucked from obscurity, he joins a mismatched, volatile team of scientists tasked with weaving souls back into flesh. But when a mysterious and dangerously magnetic man named Douglas Chen enters the station, part savior, part threat, Ricken’s faith and body alike begin to fracture.

As the team dances at the edge of scientific heresy and psychological collapse, what starts as a clinical project unravels into obsession, seduction, and forbidden hunger. The deeper they delve into the Miasma—a cosmic substance with power to shape reality—the more unstable their mission becomes. Flesh remembers. Ghosts whispers. And desire, once sparked, refuses to be ignored.
Melding erotic tension, dark sci-fi intrigue, and psychological horror, Project Golden is a cerebral slow-burn desire wrapped in the trappings of transhuman experimentation and spiritual decay.
