On the fourth day, at hour 14:38, Kenneth Sampson of Control performed post-flight audio checks as Commander Cromwell and crew members Finley, Janus, Lupines, and Samson disembarked from Cybell 2 to the docking hangar aboard Solaris station. Reports of a Class B storm heading towards the station came in, demanding continuous updates. The team planned to start from the reactor Bay and sweep back around, trying to restore power. While Finley accompanied Sampson, the rest spread out, searching every module. Communication channels remained open, and visors were a must.
On day four, hour 14:59, they entered the habitation module, finding personal effects of Cybell still visible within the living quarters. Someone had been there recently, and a removed panel in the common area suggested an attempt at unauthorized access. Chief Medical Officer Omar Janus discovered traces of blood near the habitation module's escape pod, and upon further examination, it was found that Commander Taro was deceased. The cause of death remained a mystery, prompting the team to proceed cautiously.
Day four, hour 15:03. Audio log reveals Samson and others encountered the body of Commander Taro in the reactor Bay. Attempting to contact their crewmates during a solar storm caused turbulence, and Commander Cromwell suffered a rip in his sleeve. Unfortunately, despite their efforts, Cromwell succumbed to his injuries. Additionally, traces of blood in the habitation module and the jettisoned escape pod raised further questions.
The team stumbled upon crew logs, one belonging to Pilot Avery Chase. Chase had been scheduled for a spacewalk and had been studying solar flares. Sadly, her log indicated her untimely demise, and Commander Taro seemed to be connected to it. Suspicion grew as the team discovered more evidence.
Day four, hour 15:32. The crew speculated that someone had desperately attempted to escape the station, leaving behind the shuttle, which lacked a programmed destination. A cybel video log revealed Commander Taro's report on the death of Pilot Avery Chase during her spacewalk. However, Janus made a shocking revelation that the blood found on the station belonged to Taro, suggesting a struggle and a decision to jettison the escape pod.
As the events unfolded, Commander Janus found himself exposed to contaminated blood while trying to determine the cause of Chase's death. He faced a dire situation, realizing that the virus and radiation exposure were the culprits behind the crew's demise.
The crew's attempts to leave the station were thwarted by the situation, and Janus decided to stay and face the inevitable, ensuring no more lives were lost. With an eclipse happening and the power knocked out, his message to Control was a plea not to send anyone, as there were no life forms left on Solaris.
This gripping tale of Solaris Station reveals the complexity of human interactions and the struggle for survival in the face of unforeseen circumstances. As we immerse ourselves in this dialogue-heavy narrative, we find ourselves drawn into the mysterious events surrounding the crew members' tragic fate.
