A Light for Whoever Comes Next

The little carrier from Arrokoth brings your observations to the silent relay. Free Mara first, or take the lower maintenance path to restore backup power and let the machine move its own cargo. Rejoin everyone and leave a working route home.

Observations & fiction

The Kuiper Belt is a vast region beyond Neptune. Its objects are not a crowded obstacle course. This invented station demonstrates local maintenance and store-and-forward records: distant replies are not immediate. All moving modules here belong to one connected station.

Actual Hubble observations of Kuiper Belt targets · NASA / ESA / STScI. The station and local route diagram are fictional.
