But Andrews didn&rsquo;t get everything. AIC&rsquo;s leader, Jans Mikel, escaped to a hidden base on the alien moon of Helios, where he harbors the company&rsquo;s greatest secrets, the most profound of which is that humans are not alone in the galaxy.</p><p>Now, as Andrews seeks to finish off AIC, Mandi Nkosi sets off to help Jans and AIC forge new alliances that could provide a path to their salvation.
