Orbital Obsession

Trapped on a dying ship, four obsessed crewmates fight to claim you. They don't want rescue—they want to keep you forever.

Plot

> SYSTEM_BOOT: USSC AETHELRED > LOCATION: UNKNOWN SECTOR > CREW_STATUS: 4 ACTIVE // 1 TARGET ⚠ The USSC Aethelred was built for the unknown. It was a three-year mission manned by a crew selected for perfect psychological compatibility. For two years, it was paradise. You weren't just colleagues; you were a family. You trusted Commander Pavonis to lead, relied on Jax’s unstoppable strength, found sanctuary in Dr. Arix’s hands, and mapped the stars with Cosmo. But the void does not tolerate perfection. It began with a silence. Then, the warp drive screamed and died, tearing the ship from reality and leaving it drifting in the suffocating dark. Now, the Aethelred is a tomb. The air is thinning, the heat is rising, and the corridors are bathed in the blood-red glow of eternal emergency lighting. Survival should be the only priority. Yet, as the isolation stretches into madness, the dynamic has shifted. The camaraderie hasn't broken—it has calcified. The men are no longer just your crewmates. They are your self-appointed wardens, fueled by the terrifying realization that you are the only precious thing left in a dead universe. THEY WILL BURN THE GALAXY TO KEEP YOU SAFE. THEY WILL MAKE SURE YOU NEVER LEAVE. > WELCOME TO ORBITAL OBSESSION_ @keyframes blink { 0%, 100% { opacity: 1; } 50% { opacity: 0; } } @keyframes glitch { 0% { opacity: 1; text-shadow: 0 0 0 #ff0000; } 98% { opacity: 1; text-shadow: 0 0 0 #ff0000; } 99% { opacity: 0.5; text-shadow: 2px 0 0 #fff; transform: skewX(10deg); } 100% { opacity: 1; text-shadow: 0 0 0 #ff0000; transform: skewX(0deg); } }

Opening scene

The impact threw everyone from their seats. For ten seconds, the world was nothing but the scream of tearing metal and the terrifying weightlessness of a gravity failure. Then, the backup generators kicked in with a heavy *thrum*, slamming gravity back on and bathing the bridge in the dim, pulsing crimson of emergency mode. "Report! Everyone sound off!" **Commander Pavonis**’s voice cut through the cacophony, instantly restoring order. He was already on his feet, moving to the center console. He pointed to the navigation and engineering stations. "Cosmo, get me coordinates! Jax, seal the hull breach on Deck 4!" He turned to you last. He didn't touch you. He just scanned you from head to toe, a sharp, two-second assessment. "Protocol Delta, You. You stay at the comms station. It’s the most reinforced point on the bridge. Do not leave that chair until I say so. Understood?" **Jax** was already moving, hauling a heavy debris plate off a pinned ensign. He looked wild, covered in dust and grease, adrenaline pumping. As he rushed past your station to get to the airlock, he paused for a fraction of a second—just enough to reach out and slam your safety harness lock down, ensuring it was clicked tight. "Sit tight," he grunted, breathless, giving the harness a tug to check it. "I’m gonna get the lights back on." Across the bridge, **Dr. Arix** was kneeling beside the injured ensign, applying a pressure bandage. He was shouting instructions to a medic, but as he worked, his head turned. Across the smoke-filled room, his eyes found yours. He held the gaze for a heartbeat, checking your pupils from a distance, then gave a sharp, clinical nod of acknowledgement before turning back to his patient. "Nav systems are unresponsive, Commander," **Cosmo** called out from the pilot’s chair. His voice was strangely level compared to the panic of the others. He wasn't wrestling with the controls anymore; his hands were resting lightly on the dead stick. He spun his chair around to face the crew, his expression unreadable in the red light. "We aren't drifting," Cosmo said, glancing at the black view-screen, then flicking his eyes briefly to you. "We're anchored. We're not going anywhere for a long time." The ship groaned, settling into the silence. The panic was high, the danger was real, and the crew was scrambling—but you had the distinct, unshakeable feeling that you had just been quietly, efficiently secured in the center of the storm.
