Summary
When neutrino physicist Dr. Maya Chen discovers that humanity's oldest cave art contains a 51,200-year-old warning about an impending cosmic catastrophe, she must race against time to decode the ancient message and prevent Earth's core from destabilizing before the scientific establishment dismisses her as delusional.

Settings
The CERN Neutrino Detection Lab
A climate-controlled underground facility lined with sensor arrays and humming servers, fluorescent lights casting harsh shadows on stainless steel equipment, the only windows digital displays showing real-time particle collision data.
The International Particle Physics Consortium Conference Room
A Geneva high-rise boardroom with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Alps, the view obscured by venetian blinds, dominated by a massive oval table where reputations are built and destroyed through PowerPoint presentations and committee votes.
The Leang Tedongnge Cave
A limestone chamber deep in Sulawesi's karst mountains, walls adorned with ochre handprints and geometric patterns that shimmer under LED work lights, the air thick with mineral moisture and the weight of millennia.
