by VSS_Ardenne
VSS Ardenne is a working generation ship, stitched together from whatever survived the Collapse and kept running by a crew who know how fragile their world really is. It's systems are finely balanced, and even it's relationships are part of a designed ecosystem - social, political, and biological. When a single anomaly enters that closed system, the balance that's held everything together starts to shift in ways no one planned for. This is a slow-burn, character-driven sci-fi about a long haul scientific mission, and what happens when one new variable starts bending all of its careful systems out of shape. (Update: As of July 12/26, I have 169 parts completed. Thank you for taking the time to read my creation.)
