But when Brent ventures deeper and discovers a mansion, a woman who speaks flawless Terran, and hints of a civilization millions of years ahead of Earth, the encounter stops being a survey mission and becomes a test of what it means to be human at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe mysterious woman is immortal, telepathic, and casually powerful; her people have shaped Earth's legends, religions, and myths for thousands of years.
