## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Deep space. A distress beacon. A drifting cruiser's all-female crew, dead. Rescuing the sole survivor, Flair, the transport ship Muse detonates the derelict.

But Flair carries a contagion. The Muse's crew falls prey to a desperate alien presence.

Takanami’s direct-to-video anime leans into the "erotic" side of cosmic horror.

**Mood tags**: body-horror, sexy, surreal, unhinged
