All the adults die in episode one. The teenagers left behind have to pilot a damaged ship through hostile space while figuring out who sabotaged them, and every decision they make corrodes the group from the inside. The show treats desperation like a psychological weapon. It's not about whether they survive the plasma field, it's about whether they'll still be human by the time they get home. The mecha here are almost secondary; what crushes you is watching trust collapse in real time, one vote at a time, one lie at a time.
SYNOPSIS
A space station orbiting the edge of the Geduld Sea plunges into a plasma field after saboteurs strike without warning. The adults are gone. Only the young trainees remain aboard the crippled vessel, now drifting through an environment that destroys anything venturing too deep into its currents. Kouji and Aoi find themselves leading a crew of teenagers who must work together to survive the long journey home. But isolation breeds paranoia. Supplies dwindle. Accusations fly. Trust fractures as each person's survival instinct clashes with the fragile unity they need to stay alive. The psychological weight of responsibility crushes down on shoulders never meant to bear it. Somewhere beyond their walls, unknown enemies watch and wait for the right moment to strike again. The threat isn't just the unforgiving environment surrounding them. It's the breakdown happening within their own ranks, where fear and desperation turn allies into adversaries. This is a story about how quickly civilization crumbles when the safety net disappears and teenagers must become adults overnight.
