Your ultimate objective is to gather as much information as possible while ensuring the survival of your team and the success of the mission. Click Anywhere To Continue
SOLACE: Ren, you ready for this? Zyra-4’s atmosphere is not exactly what I’d call welcoming. Click Anywhere To Continue
YOU (REN): I’ve been through worse. But yeah, I get the point. What are we looking at exactly? Click Anywhere To Continue
SOLACE: Well, we’re heading into a storm-riddled, highly charged gas giant. Click Anywhere To Continue
SOLACE: The upper layers should be navigable, but it’s the mid-layers that we’re really interested in—potential life form. Click Anywhere To Continue
YOU (REN): Life? In a gas giant like this? Sounds like you’re optimistic. Click Anywhere To Continue
SOLACE: Optimism doesn’t cost me anything, Ren. But the real potential here isn’t just in life—it’s in what the gas composition can teach us about planetary formation. Click Anywhere To Continue
YOU (REN): Alright, lay it on me, Solace. Give me the briefing before we dive in.
YOU (REN): Alright, lay it on me, Solace. Give me the briefing before we dive in. CLICK ON THE SCREEN
SOLACE: Zyra-4. A massive gas giant in the Aeloria system. We’re looking at atmospheric layers of hydrogen, helium, methane, and exotic gases like ammonia. Click Anywhere To Continue
This giant is larger than Jupiter, with fast winds. The pressure in the deeper layers is intense enough to crush anything. Click Anywhere To Continue
YOU (REN): So, it’s not just about getting in and out, it’s about taking our time and making sure we collect the right samples. Click Anywhere To Continue
SOLACE: Exactly. Too fast and we’ll miss key data. Too slow, and we risk the storm systems tearing Ascender-2 apart. It’s a delicate balance, Ren. Click Anywhere To Continue
CLICK HERE TO GO BACK
YOU (REN): I understand. So, best case scenario? Click Anywhere To Continue
SOLACE: Best case: We get in, collect pristine atmospheric samples, and leave with no damage to the shuttle. Click Anywhere To Continue
Worst case: We fly into an unexpected gas jet and spend the next few days piecing Ascender-2 back together. You ready for that risk? Click Anywhere To Continue
YOU (REN): Not like we have much choice. Besides, it’ll make a great story later. Alright, let’s do this. Click Anywhere To Continue
SOLACE: Just remember—keep a steady hand, and trust my data. We’ll make it through. Probably.
SOLACE: Before we dive in, Ren, there are a few things we need to fix. Zyra-4’s atmosphere is a bit tricky, so we’ll need to tune the shuttle systems carefully. Click Anywhere To Continue
YOU (REN): Alright. Click Anywhere To Continue
SOLACE: First up, we need to adjust the shields. Zyra-4 is similar to gas giants in our solar system, like Jupiter. Click Anywhere To Continue
These types of planets have layers of gas that are packed together under extreme pressure. The deeper you go, the denser it gets. Click Anywhere To Continue
Click Anywhere To Continue How much power should we set to protect the shuttle from these storms?
How much power should we set to protect the shuttle from these storms? 40% 90% 70%
That’s too low. Gas giants like Zyra-4 have extremely fast winds, up to hundreds of kilometers per hour. Without enough shield power, the storms will tear through the shuttle. Try again. CLICK HERE TO GO BACK
Too much power, Ren. Gas giants like Zyra-4 also have powerful electrical storms. If we overcharge the shields, we could fry the system. CLICK HERE TO GO BACK
Nice choice. At 70%, we’ve got enough power to handle the strong winds and electrical storms without risking an overload Click Anywhere To Continue
Now we need to adjust the sensors. The gases in Zyra-4’s atmosphere are mostly hydrogen and helium, but there are also trace amounts of methane, ammonia, and water vapor. Click Anywhere To Continue
These gases can tell us a lot about how the planet formed and whether it has the right conditions for life. Click Anywhere To Continue
Let’s pick the right setting to get the best data.
Basic Mode Advanced Mode Overdrive Mode Let’s pick the right setting to get the best data.
That’s too basic. We won’t pick up that much. Planets like Zyra-4 often have trace gases like methane, which can help us understand their atmospheres better. Try again. CLICK HERE TO GO BACK
That’s too sensitive. If we go overboard, the sensors will get confused and we’ll lose important data. It’s like trying to hear someone whispering in a noisy room. Let’s dial it back. CLICK HERE TO GO BACK
Good choice! With this setting, we’ll be able to detect trace gases like methane, ammonia, and water vapor. Click Anywhere To Continue
SOLACE: All systems are looking good. Shields are ready, sensors are online. We’re set for the descent. Ready when you are, Ren. Click Anywhere To Continue
YOU (REN): Let’s do this. Click Anywhere To Continue
SOLACE: We’re entering Zyra-4’s upper atmosphere, Ren. Temperatures here are dropping fast. We need to manage the shuttle’s heat levels to keep everything stable. What’s your move?
SOLACE: We’re entering Zyra-4’s upper atmosphere, Ren. Temperatures here are dropping fast. We need to manage the shuttle’s heat levels to keep everything stable. What’s your move? Increase Heat Decrease Heat Keep Heat Neutral
SOLACE: No, Ren! If we drop the heat any further, the shuttle’s systems will freeze. Let’s get some warmth in here before it’s too late. CLICK HERE TO GO BACK
SOLACE: That’s not going to work. The temperature is dropping fast, and we need to warm things up before the cold damages our equipment. CLICK HERE TO GO BACK
SOLACE: Good call. Zyra-4’s upper atmosphere is colder than the coldest places on Earth. We’ve raised the temperature enough to keep the shuttle running smoothly. Click Anywhere To Continue
SOLACE: We’ve made it through the storms, but now we’re entering the lower atmosphere. The pressure here is immense, and if we don’t adjust the shuttle’s systems, we’ll get crushed. What should we do?
SOLACE: We’ve made it through the storms, but now we’re entering the lower atmosphere. The pressure here is immense, and if we don’t adjust the shuttle’s systems, we’ll get crushed. What should we do? Increase Pressure Resistance Decrease Pressure Resistance Keep Pressure Resistance Neutral
SOLACE: Ren, that’s the wrong move. We’re getting crushed down here! The pressure is building up fast, and we need to reinforce the shuttle’s systems. CLICK HERE TO GO BACK
SOLACE: The pressure is too much for the shuttle to handle. We need to strengthen the systems or we won’t make it. CLICK HERE TO GO BACK
SOLACE: Good thinking. We’ve strengthened the pressure systems, and the shuttle’s holding steady. The pressure down here is like being deep underwater on Earth—if we didn’t adjust, we’d be crushed. Click Anywhere To Continue
SOLACE: We’re deploying the probe now, but Zyra-4’s atmosphere is incredibly unstable at this depth. The winds, turbulence, and gas density shifts are throwing off our data collection. Click Anywhere To Continue
SOLACE: You’ll need to monitor the probe and make adjustments as we collect the data. Ready? Click Anywhere To Continue
-Temperature: If the temperature gets too high or low, the probe will overheat or freeze, and data collection will be disrupted. Gas Flow: If gas flow is too strong, it could damage the sensors, but too weak means the sensors won’t pick up enough data. - Pressure: Fluctuating pressure can distort the data if not managed properly.

SOLACE: The data we’ve collected is going to revolutionize our understanding of gas giants, Ren. This mission will help scientists back home understand the formation of planets like Zyra-4—and maybe even how life could evolve on gas giants. We did good work here. Click Anywhere To Continue
SOLACE: But no time to relax—we’ve got the next planet lined up, and fuel levels are stable enough to move on. Click Anywhere To Continue
REN: Let’s do it. Click Anywhere To Continue
SOLACE: Ren, we have a message from the Commander Elena Davis. Click Anywhere To Continue
COM: Hello Ren, Commander Davis speaking. Click Anywhere To Continue
COM: I’ve got urgent news. We’ve just received a distress signal from Dr. Aiden Harper. Click Anywhere To Continue
REN: Aiden Harper? What happened? Click Anywhere To Continue
COM: We’re not sure how he got there, but his shuttle malfunctioned on Oberis-9, and he’s stuck in a hazardous zone. Click Anywhere To Continue
REN: Oberis-9? That’s the tidally locked planet with extreme conditions. Click Anywhere To Continue
COM: Can we count on you?
COM: Can we count on you? Of course. I’m sorry, I don’t think I can do that.
COM: It’s your call, Ren. We will have to find someone else to rescue Aiden. But given the situation, I’m afraid it will be too late… Click Anywhere To Continue
COM: Make sure you come back to transfer all you collected data to the Ark database before you go move on to the next planet. Click Anywhere To Continue
REN: Will do that right now.
GAME COMPLETED. NEW START You managed to save the spaceship data but lost your fellow astronaut. GO BACK
COM: Glad to hear that. You’ve got one shot, Ren. Get there fast and save him. Click Anywhere To Continue
REN: Will do that right now. Solace, changing course to Planet Oberis-9. Click Anywhere To Continue
SOLACE: Next Destination: Oberis-9.
SOLACE: Ren, before we enter Oberis-9, remember: This planet is tidally locked, meaning one side constantly faces its star, and the other is in darkness. Click Anywhere To Continue
The side facing the star is a fiery volcano land with rivers of lava, while the dark side is a frozen wasteland with temperatures much colder than anything on Earth. Click Anywhere To Continue
SOLACE: We're heading for the twilight zone, where day and night meet. Conditions are more stable, but it's still not safe. Dr. Harper was last detected in this area. Click Anywhere To Continue
LAND ON THE TWILIGHT ZONE
REN: Oh my God… Just look at that!
REN: Oh my God… Just look at that! Leave The Spacecraft
REN: This ground is unstable… I’m seeing lava flows cutting through ahead. We need to find a way across.
REN: This ground is unstable… I’m seeing lava flows cutting through ahead. We need to find a way across. Find another way.
SOLACE: The volcanic activity on planets like Oberis-9 is intense because it’s tidally locked. The constantly moving molten core could be why Aiden’s signal is so unstable. Click Anywhere To Continue
SOLACE: Wait - I’m picking up recent volcanic activity. The lava flow has changed the landscape here. Dr. Harper couldn’t have crossed this area; it’s too dangerous.
SOLACE: Wait - I’m picking up recent volcanic activity. The lava flow has changed the landscape here. Dr. Harper couldn’t have crossed this area; it’s too dangerous. Scan the Lava
SOLACE: This lava flow is full of silicate materials. On many exoplanets, volcanic activity like this releases gases like carbon dioxide and water vapor, which help form atmospheres. Click Anywhere To Continue
SOLACE: But right now, this flow blocks Dr. Harper’s escape route. We should go the other way. Go to the opposite side.
REN: I’m getting a strong methane reading. Could Harper be near here? Click Anywhere To Continue
SOLACE: It’s possible, but unlikely he could survive here for long. The methane is probably leaking from underground pockets. Click Anywhere To Continue
On icy exoplanets, subsurface methane could hint at primitive life, but the harsh conditions make surface life hard. Let’s scan the area to see if he’s close.
