Anyone Can Take Responsibility

In this episode, the escape shuttle Callisto’s Mercy drifts silently after evacuating the orbital research station Spire-6 moments before a catastrophic breach. The explosion destroyed the station—and with it, the GeneralAI android known as R. Lyra, a fully sentient being with legal personhood.

Five survivors escaped the station

In 20 minutes, the MSV Minas Geraes will arrive. The survivors must resolve who was responsible, and what to tell the authorities.

And of course, anything could happen.
