There is something alive in hyperspace...
You wake up from cryosleep to find alarms flashing. The Captain's cryopod is empty, the Android is disabled and the ship is not where it should be. Weird. When you find the Captain, it gets.... weirder.
In Nietzsche's Demon the cargo ship Pharaon becomes entangled with a being that is native to hyperspace, creating a dual reality near an unstable worm hole. Soon, the wormhole collapses, destroying the Pharaon and creating a time loop. The characters wake up in their cryopods again, with their memories intact, and only a few hours to escape before they die again. And again.
