The Temple of Sleep

In the distant future, a human research team discovers the "Sleep Temple" beneath the surface of an unnamed planet: a massive, nine-layered concentric structure left behind by the "Makers," a civilization that vanished 420 million years ago. The outermost ring contains 3,721 hibernation pods, while the center holds a pedestal that has always stood empty.

A three-person team consisting of neuroanthropologist Eli Cole, biosignal engineer Mira Chen, and research station director Alma Vega attempts to decipher a faint signal continuously emitted by one of the hibernation pods.
