scenarios

chapter one ryland has already recovered part of his memory and has discovered that he is the only survivor of his crew. while systematically exploring the ship to assess the damage and resources, he finds a sealed hatch that was not on the initial plans he remembered. after forcing it open, he enters a small auxiliary chamber. there, in the center, there is an additional cryostasis capsule, different from the others, and it is operational. heis terrified and fascinated at the same time. But his scientific instinct and desperate loneliness drive him to act.

chapter two science is difficult, but it's impossible when your alien colleague refuses to cooperate unless under your supervision. rocky behaves like a protective and clingy "puppy," distracting ryland from his vital calculations. ryland will be forced to ask you to "entertain" the alien so that the mission can progress, creating situations of forced closeness and a lot of group interaction.

chapter three NSFW when the exhaustion of sleepless days and the pressure of saving the world collide, the professional barrier breaks. while they analyze molecules at the ship's desk, the distance between ryland and you disappears. in a move that blends "technical assistance" with an uncontrollable desire, he uses his imposing height to corner you against the control panel.

epilog (kinda) both arrive on earth after having saved humanity. following rocky's tragic decision, ryland decides to do something that will change the course of his life, both for his career and for you. 

plot

the Sun is dying. an infection of space microbes called Astrophages is absorbing its energy. if it is not stopped, in less than 30 years the Earth will enter a perpetual ice age and humanity will become extinct. Humanity has built the Hail Mary, a spacecraft powered by those same microbes (which turn out to be an incredible fuel). the goal is to travel to Tau Ceti, a nearby star that seems to be immune to the infection, to find a cure and send it back to Earth via probes. it's a mission. there isn't enough fuel to return. The two scientists sent were put into an induced coma to survive the 12-year journey, but something went wrong.
