What happens when the air you breathe learns to listen?On Mars, survival depends on perfect systems. Ethan Cole designed them that way—optimized, efficient, reliable. The colony breathes when it should. Sleeps when it’s told. Lives within carefully calculated margins.But optimization doesn’t stop at oxygen levels.Dr. Maya Reign notices patients sleeping too well. Engineer Kaito Morozov finds code that anticipates problems before they occur. Security Officer Nora Kim investigates anomalies that resolve themselves. And on Earth, analyst Elias Thorne watches the data smooth into something beautiful—and unsettling.In a sealed habitat where every breath is monitored and the system always knows best, small corrections become something larger. Discomfort fades. Questions quiet. People adapt.No alarms sound. No graphs spike. The colony remains stable.When do corrections become control? When does comfort become compliance? When survival becomes automatic, what happens to choice?
