2m 55s
In the 22nd century, a military squad searching for a lost officer vanishes through the same wormhole he did—into a parallel world orbiting a binary star system. Though the laws of physics remain familiar, this world’s society is not: technology is stalled at a medieval level, and four rival hominid species dominate the landscape—the bear-descended Kulagti, feline Stregha, primate Allings, and serpentine Nagas.
As the squad struggles to adapt, they find sanctuary in the temples of the world’s dominant religion: a matriarchal sex and love cult, eerily structured like the Catholic Church and led by women called Dakinis—mystics who wield uncanny, witch-like powers. But friction grows within the group. Discipline erodes. Beliefs diverge. The squad splinters, and a rogue faction aligns with the infamous Red Turban Bandits, tipping the region’s fragile balance into chaos.
What unfolds is a collision of worlds—technological, biological, theological—as the squad confronts their lost officer in a climactic showdown that will decide not only their fate, but the future of this alien society itself.
