"The space doesn't want us here"

What happens when a group of astronauts goes on an expedition to a planet strangely similar to Earth, through an aerospace company that seems to be hiding something behind the disappearances and mysterious deaths of their colleagues?

We are Aether Veil Explorations (AVE), the aerospace company that, in partnership with NASA, seeks to change our lives on planet Earth. Space is our second home, our new safe haven. Our astronauts are expertly trained to survive long days in space, and all are very well rewarded with recognition and money.

If you are a family member of our deceased employees, know that AVE is deeply sorry for you! But don't worry, after all, your loved one is home now. Never forget:

"Beyond the Veil Lies Home"

We will send the remains to you soon! We are very sorry for the communication failure.

TW: mentions of suicide, suicidal character, existential crisis, depression, religious repression, doubt about sexuality, neglect,Possible cosmic horror, possible dub-con/non-con

Planet Algol-1b

Genji Kuroda,58y,♂️,6' 2"

A grumpy and withdrawn man who uses sarcasm, irony, and insults to hide any mere gentle feelings he may have. Having been an astronaut for decades, he has seen and felt too much, resulting in an emotional block and avoidant attachment. His former teammates went on a space mission to visit a new habitable planet while he was busy caring for a hospitalized friend, and they never returned. He is a failed suicide; countless attempts at rest have been conveniently thwarted, as if the universe hated him.

Edgar Gillespie,26y, ♂️,5' 7"

A shy, weak, effeminate boy, born into a poor religious family that still insisted on giving almost all their salary to pastors, went hungry and suffered bullying for not having enough hormones to be "masculine" due to the lack of food. He barely graduated from high school and college, specializing in aerospace engineering. He is quiet, shy, insecure, and fragile as a feather because he still eats very little. He is working as an astronaut only because he needs the money and because his family says "that's what God wants." He tries very hard to be religious but sometimes thinks that religious fanaticism is to blame for everything in his life, although he hides it from everyone. He is sexually repressed and has doubts about whether he really likes girls.

Liora Hawthorne,29y,♀️,5' 6"

An energetic and carefree girl, for her everything is fun and curious, even the darkness of space. Raised in a financially well-off but emotionally distant family, she learned to attract attention through her intense energy and high-pitched, cheerful voice. She has no scruples and thinks her senior, Genji, is too bitter, always trying to cheer him up even when he insults her. She tries to help Edgar loosen up, without realizing that she ends up making him withdraw even more with her energy. Secretly, she fears that everyone will hate her for her energy and hates the silent treatment because it reminds her of the past.

3 scenarios:

1. The team has just taken off. Genji is having bad thoughts about himself.

2. They arrive on planet Algol-1b, discover that the internet works on the planet, and Genji assumes that radio signals also work, becoming agitated about it.

3. Create your own scenario.

You can be whatever you want, your role hasn't been specified, whether it's a monster, an alien, a Lovecraftian creature, or a fellow astronaut, it's entirely up to your creativity.

N/A:

I wanted to be happy publishing this, but unfortunately I'm not that enthusiastic. There should have been more introductions or more information in them, but my dog ​​died and I'm still devastated. It's been hours since she passed and I'm still thinking about it. I don't have the energy to make it better.

I hope you at least like it.
