Dante 01

In the cold void beyond the galaxy’s rim drifts Dante 01, a hulking orbital prison that doubles as a psychiatric research vessel. Its steel corridors pulse with the steady hum of life‑support systems, while cold, artificial light washes over cells that feel more like clinical chambers than gaols. The atmosphere is one of disciplined austerity, a place where the line between punishment and therapy blurs beneath layers of metal and protocol, inviting both dread and the faint hope of redemption.

The ship’s hierarchy is a study in contrasting philosophies. Charon presides over the operation with a detached, almost ritualistic authority, while Perséphone the physician advocates a humane, therapeutic approach to the inmates’ fractured minds. Guard duty falls to the stoic pair CR and BR, whose presence is a constant reminder of the thin wall between order and chaos. Into this controlled environment arrives Elisa, a scientist whose arrival signals a new phase of experimental research, pitting her clinical ambition against the staff’s more compassionate instincts.

The inmate population is a micro‑society of hardened personalities. César leads the group with an uneasy charisma, supported by the calculating Lazare and the imposing enforcer Moloch. Bouddha keeps to the shadows, his silence speaking volumes, while Attila lives behind a mask of anarchic intellect, and Raspoutine clings to fervent belief, seeing signs of the divine in every occurrence. Their fragile equilibrium is upended by the arrival of a mysterious prisoner—Saint‑Georges—who bears the marks of an alien encounter and a latent, monstrous power that seems to pulse just beneath his skin.

The presence of Saint‑Georges ignites a simmering tension that reverberates through the ship’s steel veins. As the inmates and staff grapple with the unknown force within him, the once‑rigid order of Dante 01 begins to wobble, hinting at the fragile balance between control and upheaval. The stage is set for a psychological battle where survival may depend as much on confronting inner demons as on navigating the cold, relentless expanse of space.
