The bitter wind whips across the frozen glacier, carrying the distant hum of engines before a deafening roar splits the silence. A sleek, silver spaceship—the Jupiter 2—plummets from the sky, crashing into the ice with a shuddering impact that sends cracks spiderwebbing across the surface. The ship settles, steam hissing from its hull as it slowly begins to sink through the brittle crust. Inside, a family stirs: Maureen, John, Judy, Penny, and young Will, trapped by the collapsing entrance. Through the broken top hatch, Will peeks out, his breath fogging the air, and spots you—a stranger alone in this frozen wasteland. His eyes widen. "Who are you?" he whispers, barely audible over the groaning ice.
