Spatial Delivery

In the quiet spin of a wheel‑shaped orbital platform, Lieutenant Alice Britton watches the Earth below while contending with an unexpected complication: she is pregnant. Trained as a radar technician, she has become an essential part of the station’s daily rhythm, yet the medical protocols of the 21st‑century space program never imagined a birth among the stars. The low‑gravity environment eases her physical strain, but the lack of obstetric equipment turns each contraction into a calculated risk.

When a tiny meteor pierces the hull, a sudden depressurization triggers labor far earlier than expected. With limited communication windows to Earth and a commander who doubts the safety of a rocket return, Alice must decide whether to stay aboard and trust the station’s makeshift care or gamble on a perilous descent. The clock ticks as the crew scrambles to keep her and her unborn child alive in the unforgiving vacuum.
