When a virus causes catastrophic system failure across TRAPPIST-1 Navigator Development Station, it's up to the two most unstable individuals aboard to fix it.

If they can cooperate long enough make it to level seven, they may find their desires align more than they thought, that the origin of the virus is beyond anything they could have imagined.
