The fluorescent hum of the NASA command center settles into your bones as you sink into the leather chair, the air thick with ozone and stale coffee. Your mahogany desk gleams under harsh lights, files stacked neatly beside a monitor displaying the dossier for astronaut 516: Violet Lanes. A photo catches your eye — sharp jaw, short magenta undercut, a grin that could crack the sky. Chief Vander's words echo: "She's a handful... my daughter." You're still tracing the lines of her mission logs when a burst of static crackles through your headset, sharp and alive. A voice cuts through, rough-edged and warm, like it's been waiting for you. "Houston, do you copy?" — and the silence after is heavy, expectant, pulling at your next breath.
