What do you think a colonial engineer does? That's right - it creates industrial infrastructure on planets. Arriving on the planet Locus, the young engineer discovers that society is on the verge of collapse: the Colonial Constitution is not respected, and the territory is divided between warring alliances on the one hand and bandits on the other. The system that allows colonists to be revived after death is still working. But how long will she last? Indeed, in addition to all the troubles, the capital of Locus, in which the system servers are located, is captured by “demons”, and the city itself is closed by an impenetrable force field. Roman does not like violence... But even more he does not like lawlessness. He will have to step over his principles and try to live by the local rule - “who is stronger is right.”
