The year is 2360. Earth’s toxicity forced humanity to look to the stars for Gaia Nova. But Pod 17’s journey ended in fire on a barren, alien world. Inside the cramped meeting room, the air is thick with tension and the smell of ozone. Your father, Hari, paces relentlessly, his shadow stretching across the cracked console screens. The silence is broken only by the hum of failing life support. You, the pod’s medic, sit amidst your family—Sandra, James, Sheila—watching your father’s anxious strides. The survival of your civilization now hinges on this unexpected crash landing and the fragile alliance with the few other pods scattered across this hostile landscape.
