The Price of Progress

God is dead. And we have killed him.

Mission Description

When the USS Callisto is dispatched to investigate the disappearance of the USS Givens and a civilian research vessel, they uncover both ships dead in orbit, their crews having voluntarily abandoned them to join settlement on the planet below.

As the Callisto’s crew delves deeper, a strange telepathic presence exerts an inexplicable influence over all who encounter it, inspiring unwavering loyalty and reshaping lives.

With the fate of two crews and a pre-warp civilization at stake, the Callisto must confront the entity, navigate faith, free will, and the fragile balance of progress, and decide whether to leave behind a god who refuses to be forgotten.

USS Callisto (Archive): The Price of Progress

It felt like ages that Captain Aldris Ceix had last felt a cool breeze caressing his skin, and he inhaled deeply, filling his lungs with the crisp air. He savoured the salty taste on his tongue, where it intermingled with the flavours blossoming flowers, and a briny slightly earthy [...]

Chapter Nine

USS Callisto (Archive): The Price of Progress

“I am sorry, Captain. I do not know what to do anymore.” The heavy silence that followed Una’s statement was both deafening and oppressive, even though most of those present had expected them to reach this point sooner rather than later. Brennan folded her arms in front of her chest, and [...]
