Novel: Bad press calls for desperate measures. For the Interstellar Forces, sending a small crew to Neptune was the bet they were willing to make - at the risk of losing what little respect they have left (and maybe some lives).
A roll of dice and a lack of options led to the selection of the Celestion-5âs crew, a collection of inexperienced astronauts ranging from space-loving dreamers to cynics only in it for the money.
Itâs them against the universe, and their odds are a gamble at best. Learning how to live together can only help. Though with the crewâs pervasive personal problems, that might be the real journey.
New Chapter: Jun busies themself with the mystery of the missing crewmate, but what should be a straightforward case throws a few unexpected turns.
Sample:
âYeah, I havenât seen him in, like, daysâŚâ Jun realized something. âNot since you found your phone, actually.â
Leon winced. Something mustâve happened that day.
Before he could answer, Roxie nudged him. âI think this calls for another manhunt~! Our last quest for glory came to an unusual end.â She looked over at the captain, who looked away.
âAh, I donât know.â Leon answered. âĂngie could be anywhere at this point. When he doesnât want to be found, he wonât be.â
âThat just makes for extra challenge! Besides, itâs not safe! What if he turned into a ghost?â Roxieâs voice trembled. Jun guessed it was for dramatic effect.
âRookie,â Emil turned toward Leon, âyou said Angelo does this kinda thing a lot, right?â
âYeah. If hide-and-seek was a sport, heâd go pro.â
