SOLAR
Crew members trapped in separate sections of the damaged solar probe Aethon fight isolation and failing systems after a disaster near the sun. SOLAR follows the crew of the Aethon after a catastrophe strands them far from Earth on their manned solar research probe. Sent to study temporal distortion around the sun, the survivors find themselves cut off from ground control and sealed in disconnected parts of the vessel. Painful memories and forgotten dreams surface as life-support and navigation systems degrade. Technological obstacles force each isolated member to improvise repairs while the probe drifts in extreme conditions. Blunt physical limits and dwindling options push them toward any remaining communication links. Survival depends on restoring enough function to rejoin one another before the next cascade failure. Separated across the wreck, the crew members share fragmented updates
