The Solitude of Absolute Zero
You are the commander of Outpost Caelum on the frozen plains of Pluto. The year is 2301, and a catastrophic system failure has silenced the primary emergency heater. The next colony starship is ninety days away. In the creeping, absolute dark of the outer solar system, the cold is not just an absence of heat—it is an active force, claiming the base room by room. But when the first crystalline frost-veins begin to climb your arms, you realize you aren't just dying. You are changing. A strange, dormant alien organism within the Pluto ice is rewriting your cellular structure, offering a beautiful, quiet chance at survival. To save your crew, you must guide them through the darkness while managing the evolution taking place beneath your environment suit. Will you hold onto your humanity until the starship arrives, or will you fully embrace the quiet grace of the absolute cold to protect the people under your command?
