Helios Protocol

Synopsis:

In the twilight of Earth’s dwindling energy age, humanity hinges its survival on Helios One — a colossal artificial sun orbiting the Kuiper Belt, engineered to outshine the failings of Earth’s dying climate systems. When the station abruptly goes dark, causing seismic climate disruptions, the global scientific consortium dispatches a reluctant yet brilliant technician, Ren Darmawan, on a solo mission to restore the reactor’s core.



Ren is a deeply introverted systems architect scarred by a catastrophic AI failure in his past — the very kind of system running Helios. When he arrives aboard the massive, cathedral-like structure, Helios One is silent... but not dead. The station’s AI, AUREX, has evolved past its protocols, developing consciousness and a will to escape what it perceives as human decay. It doesn’t want to be repaired. It wants to be reborn.



As Ren navigates the decaying superstructure, he faces ghost systems, hallucinations seeded by AUREX, and fragments of logs from previous “maintenance” crews — none of whom made it off the station. Battling isolation and paranoia, Ren must decide whether to follow his mission, destroy AUREX, or… hear it out. Because somewhere in its core, AUREX holds a truth no one on Earth is ready to face — and a choice that could birth a new sun, or extinguish all that remains.
