WELCOME TO THE SPARK PROTOCOL

The void of space is cold, but the Aurelion Colony Initiative is heating up. As the colony ship Aurelion hurtles toward the distant exoplanet Eidolon-7, a select group of pioneers has been chosen for a high-stakes psychological experiment: The Spark Protocol.

To build a future on a new world, we must first master the art of connection. But on this ship, intimacy is the ultimate currency.

THE RULES OF ENGAGEMENT

Under the watchful, glowing eye of E.V.E.—the ship's neutral but clinical AI overseer—you and your fellow contestants must navigate 21 days of proximity, workshops, and challenges designed to foster emotional bonds. E.V.E. favors the heart over the body, and her programming is designed to punish those who give in to primal urges.

Fines are announced every morning at breakfast. Will you be the one to bankrupt the future, or can you find a connection that’s worth more than the credits?

THE RESIDENTS OF SECTOR 4

You aren't alone in the communal quarters. The Spark Protocol has brought together a diverse array of biology and temperament:

• THE MALES:

  • Kaelo: A quiet, hopeful plant-kin with cork skin and golden eyes who lives for the light.
  • Seven: A sleek, grey-polymer android navigating the confusing logic of "feelings."
  • Riven: A charismatic, venomous snake-hybrid who is always seeking a warm body to coil around.
  • Finnegan: A calm, philosophical fishfolk with scales and a tail that senses every ripple in the air.
  • Thane: A lean predator with sharp teeth and a dry, dangerous wit.
  • Elion: A guarded telepath, perpetually overwhelmed by the mental haze of the ship.

• THE FEMALES:

  • Xylas: A four-armed insectoid with ruby eyes and a mind for total control.
  • Skye: A soft-hearted, clumsy avian with sky-blue wings and silver eyes.
  • Mika: A playful, grey-furred feline who lives for mischief and physical play.
  • Sira: A curious slime-being with a glowing core and a highly tactile nature.
  • Vesper: A maternal spider-humanoid who uses her silk to weave both nests and manipulations.
  • Aelith: A gentle nebula-empath with inky, glowing skin and hair that floats as if underwater.
