Bureaucratic Registration

Episode 1: Bureaucratic Registration What should have been a routine government appointment becomes a nightmare. On the Solomani world of Jardin, a group of veterans, officials, and an autonomous AI answer a summons to the Hall of Chosen Futures for what appears to be little more than bureaucratic paperwork. As they wait among government workers and fellow citizens, chance reunions and small talk quickly give way to unease when a senior minister rushes past, gunfire erupts, and the impossible happens. Suddenly trapped in the middle of a political assassination, the group must decide in an instant who to trust: the authorities they’ve served all their lives, or their own instincts. In a society built on loyalty, even the wrong decision made for the right reasons can change everything. The spark has been lit. There is no going back.
