Description

A desperate trio drifts through the void aboard a massive, wheel‑shaped vessel, their once‑steady mission now teetering on the brink of catastrophe. A mysterious contagion has infected one section of the ship, turning any spark into a lethal threat, and with no cure in sight the crew must rely on harsh prevention. Commander Al Andrews, a hardened veteran, locks down the bulkheads and reaches for an old revolver, prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice to keep the disease from spreading.

Young Oakey Matthews, fresh‑faced and meticulous, pleads for mercy, reminding the commander of the fragile humanity they represent. Their tense dialogue reveals a clash between duty, survival, and the lingering hope of returning to a distant, idyllic planet once visited—a world that still haunts Al’s memories. As time runs out, the three men face a grim choice: trust each other or let fear dictate their fate.
