Anyone Can Hatch A Plan

In this episode, we find ourselves in the Kepler-22 system, where the survey and salvage vessel CSV Helix Wake is conducting operations on K-22-Δ6—a 200km-long metallic asteroid on a slow inbound solar trajectory. Its mass signature indicates extraordinarily dense superconductive material—potentially a jackpot for deep-space infrastructure. GlacioDyne’s deep-claim salvage division is funding the operation. The crew began mining operations just under 12 hours ago. But the last 90 minutes have been… strange. The asteroid has shifted.

Not once—multiple times. Internal temperature is rising. There are tremors, electromagnetic spikes, and a low-frequency resonance from inside. You’ve been summoned to the bridge to make a decision: push forward with the mining, investigate further, or abandon the claim. But remember Anything Could Happen…

Well Anything Could Happen…
