OK SO. lore (sci fi story btw) goes as follows: this guy, dante goes to this super prestigious space program school/boarding school that does all sorts of things with space travel and overall the space industry (but students that go there also sometimes go into different fields like medical/architecture/whatever). and the premise is that this private high school is so competitive and has this reputation for only accepting the best that it has very few students per grade bc not many people get in. and dantes life is basically living at this super competitive school and he’s one of the “gifted” students there and as of the beginning of the story, he has already finished his freshman year and is just about to start his sophomore year, and he had to go to this “sophomore orientation”. when he gets there, he’s informed that the orientation is literally that the students are going to be introduced to the space station that the school built without any space agencies’ knowledge and that they’re going up to stay at that space station for their sophomore “onboarding” year (both of which are very much Not Legal for the school to do technically).
The logistics of how you hide a space station would be extremely complex because you need a lot of heat to stay alive in space, and that generated heat/infrared light would automatically show up on a lot of radars, along with common sense things like “someone has to see this sooner or later”. im still working on the realism aspect of the story (the fact that the school is extremely technologically advanced, more than has been revealed to the public would play a hand in it) but as of now the space station is located in a cluster of asteroids/rocks and is coated in light absorbing material/has a “shield” around it that stores heat. (and in the lore of the story it is quite possible for the school to have simply paid people or companies to stay quiet about it)
they have to go completely off the grid before and during the entire expedition, meaning they have to cut contact with everyone and go dark for a while. once they arrive they discover that the space station is actually incredibly advanced with complex prototypes of technology and devices that may be released to the public someday. the plot essentially starts when something automatically goes wrong, and their contact system with earth shuts off and the devices on the station go dark, emulating a complete blackout meaning that they’re essentially stranded since no one else knows theyre there. and the only thing that really makes sense is that somehow someone else outside of the school knows that the station exists and is actively trying to destroy it.
so while theyre basically entirely out of options because it’s basically a group of students on a space station that theyve just arrived at and don’t know their way around, and have quite literally just lost contact with the adults acting as ground control on earth, with a mystery person/organization trying to destroy said station. and so their only option is to send one of their students (cough cough yeah its dante because when is it not) on a very advanced prototype spaceship called the tardigrade to try to establish contact with someone and/or fixing whatever is causing the blackout and/or finding out who’s doing it.
the thing about this is that once dante boards the ship, he’ll only have contact with a makeshift ground control (another student/character) on the station. and while the tardigrade is theoretically advanced enough to survive for years in deep space, it’s still a prototype and everything is theoretical with the added bonus that they don’t know how to fix it if something goes wrong.
so yeah it’s a bunch of teenagers stranded on a space station and one particular teenager stranded on a ship with no way of knowing whether he’ll even live or not. and the entire time the students are finding out increasingly more concerning facts about their schools history.
the theme is very much about the inherent unfairness of expecting the younger generation to trade their lives to fix the mistakes of the older one (but it’s also kjnda about how it might be necessary sometimes to break the cycle) and about the system’s dehumanization of “gifted” kids that fails to consider the fact that them being kids is more important than them being gifted, especially because dante himself is a lonely character who has more academic rivals than friends
it might be told through a series of videos and audio logs between him and the station’s “ground control” but ngl im not convinced that ill be able to portray everything i want to in that way. we’ll see
there’s also a few characters that i’m developing rn besides dante, one of them is the person acting as “ground control” and the other one is an aspiring aerospace engineer student that’s trying to study the ship/work on trying to get everyone out alive and establish communication again. both are dantes academic rivals lmao but anyway thats most of the lore so far…unforchees the story doesnt have a name yet.

they have to go completely off the grid before and during the entire expedition, meaning they have to cut contact with everyone and go dark for a while. once they arrive they discover that the space station is actually incredibly advanced with complex prototypes of technology and devices that may be released to the public someday. the plot essentially starts when something automatically goes wrong, and their contact system with earth shuts off and the devices on the station go dark, emulating a complete blackout meaning that they’re essentially stranded since no one else knows theyre there. and the only thing that really makes sense is that somehow someone else outside of the school knows that the station exists and is actively trying to destroy it.
so while theyre basically entirely out of options because it’s basically a group of students on a space station that theyve just arrived at and don’t know their way around, and have quite literally just lost contact with the adults acting as ground control on earth, with a mystery person/organization trying to destroy said station. and so their only option is to send one of their students (cough cough yeah its dante because when is it not) on a very advanced prototype spaceship called the tardigrade to try to establish contact with someone and/or fixing whatever is causing the blackout and/or finding out who’s doing it.
the thing about this is that once dante boards the ship, he’ll only have contact with a makeshift ground control (another student/character) on the station. and while the tardigrade is theoretically advanced enough to survive for years in deep space, it’s still a prototype and everything is theoretical with the added bonus that they don’t know how to fix it if something goes wrong.
so yeah it’s a bunch of teenagers stranded on a space station and one particular teenager stranded on a ship with no way of knowing whether he’ll even live or not. and the entire time the students are finding out increasingly more concerning facts about their schools history.
the theme is very much about the inherent unfairness of expecting the younger generation to trade their lives to fix the mistakes of the older one (but it’s also kjnda about how it might be necessary sometimes to break the cycle) and about the system’s dehumanization of “gifted” kids that fails to consider the fact that them being kids is more important than them being gifted, especially because dante himself is a lonely character who has more academic rivals than friends
it might be told through a series of videos and audio logs between him and the station’s “ground control” but ngl im not convinced that ill be able to portray everything i want to in that way. we’ll see
there’s also a few characters that i’m developing rn besides dante, one of them is the person acting as “ground control” and the other one is an aspiring aerospace engineer student that’s trying to study the ship/work on trying to get everyone out alive and establish communication again. both are dantes academic rivals lmao but anyway thats most of the lore so far…unforchees the story doesnt have a name yet.

OK SO. lore (sci fi story btw) goes as follows: this guy, dante goes to this super prestigious space program school/boarding school that does all sorts of things with space travel and overall the space industry (but students that go there also sometimes go into different fields like medical/architecture/whatever). and the premise is that this private high school is so competitive and has this reputation for only accepting the best that it has very few students per grade bc not many people get in. and dantes life is basically living at this super competitive school and he’s one of the “gifted” students there and as of the beginning of the story, he has already finished his freshman year and is just about to start his sophomore year, and he had to go to this “sophomore orientation”. when he gets there, he’s informed that the orientation is literally that the students are going to be introduced to the space station that the school built without any space agencies’ knowledge and that they’re going up to stay at that space station for their sophomore “onboarding” year (both of which are very much Not Legal for the school to do technically).
