On one such journey, Captain Jake Rivers leads a diverse crew on a mission to explore Veridian, a dark and dying planet shrouded in mystery. Alongside him are Sarah Quinn, a brilliant but eccentric scientist, and Tim "Crash" Davies, a clumsy yet goodhearted mechanic. As they arrive, they uncover the ancient and powerful Nexus, a source of boundless energy capable of altering the fabric of reality itself. However, the Nexus is unstable, its immense power threatening to tear the planet apart. As they delve deeper into its secrets, they realize that the key to saving Veridian lies not in controlling the Nexus, but in understanding and freeing it. The team must confront their own fears, let go of their need for control, and trust in the unknown.

"In ancient times when people lived in caves and thatched huts, men looked to other men to fashion weapons they could use to hunt and to defend themselves and their families against hostile enemies. These stone club and flint arrow makers were the first defense contractors." -T. H. Henning, From Memoirs of a Defense Contractor, Chapter Fourteen, Epilogue Corporate divestitures, acquisitions, mergers and the feast and famine nature of defense contracts have taken their toll on thousands of people. Yet today, you will find defense contractors side by side with our soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines providing technical services in the national interest. They can be found on submarines, surface ships, flying with aircrews, in desert tents with our soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq and at spaceports in the U.S. helping the nation's space program reach towards outer space. Defense contractors have diversified their products and services to serve federal, state, and local government clients in such diverse organizations as health, education, civil aviation, agriculture, homeland security, intelligence, and other areas. This is a story of how one person persevered through three decades of technology change, marketplace change, major historic change, and the rise and fall of his own multiple careers. Memoirs of a Defense Contractor captures the author's experience at International Business Machines Corporation, Loral Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, Litton Industries/TASC, (now Northrop Grumman), and Veridian, (now General Dynamics).
