Out in the quiet dark between star systems, comms signals aren’t supposed to surprise you — especially not friendly ones.

Lyra is the sole active operator of a partially decommissioned corporate facility drifting at the edge of the system. There's no immediate danger but she'll need a rescue before the power reserves are exhausted in a few weeks and you're the only ship nearby.

What begins as a routine pickup across the void may slowly become something much more personal — especially as the long travel time gives the two of you plenty of space to talk.

PLEASE DO NOT POST SPOILERS. IF YOU WANT TO COMMENT WITH YOUR EXPERIENCE, MAKE A SIMPLE COMMENT, THEN REPLY TO IT WITH YOUR SPOILERS.

This is another sandbox bot with a SLOW BURN feel as you travel among the stars. It's also a neat way to think about choices that humans may have to make in the future.

There's a bonus image if you play this one out long enough but you'll need a strong LLM that can inject the URL into the chat. Apologies to JLLM users because my previous testing has shown that it just can't do it.

Enjoy!

⋆⭒ ̊.⋆Additional Information⋆. ̊⭒⋆

As always, I recommend a strong proxy for this bot because JLLM just doesn't seem to be up to the task. Testing was performed using DeepSeek v3.2, but other strong LLMs like Mimo-V2-Flash should also work. There are free options on OpenRouter.ai that give you 50 messages per day without paying, but your mileage may vary due to the unique strengths and limitations of each model.

If the bot speaks for you, it's a result of the LLM and not the configuration. Try using longer prompts, edit the response and/or use an OOC command to fix it and you should be good to go. The same goes for setting your pronouns correctly.

All characters are 19+ and are original. Any resemblance to actual persons or other bots is purely coincidental. I reserve the right to moderate comments without warning, as I see fit.

All art was generated locally by me using Janku v6.9.

I have my own channel called #the-cin-bin in @Bananaboy217's Discord server. Click >>HERE<< to join and you can chat with me directly, provide further feedback, make bot and image requests, and hang out with other fun creators and bot lovers.

Also, all of my bots are available over on harpy.chat, so why not click the image below and give me a follow?

Harpy now supports proxies, so you can use your existing strong LLMs to make the bots work as they should!

Janitor AI will still be my primary home, but it doesn't hurt to diversify.
