Ninety-One Seconds

A simple care package from home leaves Grayson McKinney with more than homemade sweets. Tucked inside is an old tactical problem from his father, recently altered and offered without explanation. What begins as a familiar McKinney family ritual soon draws Grayson and Claire into a puzzle about command, responsibility, and the lessons that are hardest to put into words.

Echoes of Blood

What begins as a routine post-incident debrief becomes something far more personal for the USS Arawyn’s Chief of Security. When subtle irregularities emerge in Ignis, the adaptive AI bound to Lieutenant Aev Flammia’s holoband, questions of trust, identity, and control ripple outward through Starfleet channels and into Aev’s own past.

As reports surface that other Lumeon Project participants have died and their holobands have vanished, the technology behind Ignis becomes a target rather than a tool. With Starfleet’s attention divided across larger political and exploratory fronts, Aev is granted leave to pursue a lead that points to a long-abandoned world on the fringes of Federation awareness.

What waits there is not just an answer, but a reckoning.

Echoes of Blood is a character-driven mission focused on the blurred boundary between machine and person, the cost of secrecy, and the dangerous gravity of unfinished histories. It challenges its players to navigate moral uncertainty, cultural tension, and the consequences of being seen as more than just who you are—but what you carry.
