Episode Overview
Title: Tempests Plot: In the aging spacecraft Tempest, space colonists John Virgil and Captain Parker embark on a crucial mission to deliver a vital serum to the Tabloss Colony, where an outbreak of Ellysia C is wreaking havoc. Accompanying them are influential figures, Dr. Vasquez and Governor Mudry. However, disaster strikes when the ship unexpectedly exits lightspeed and crashes into the void of space. While Virgil struggles to fix the ship, he is bitten by a mysterious spider-like creature and loses consciousness. Upon waking, he finds himself caught in a surreal clash between two vivid realities: one where he's a hero who has saved his family, and another where he remains trapped in a lifeless vessel.
