## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Astronauts return from deep space in the silent swell beyond Earth's atmosphere, their suits streaked with something wet and pulsing. Inside the station’s humming core, wires twitch like nerves exposed, and the air smells of burnt copper. Pods swell with gelatinous growths that blink with stolen voltage.  
Looks like 1960s sci-fi found a moldy battery and ran with it.

**Mood tags**: 3am-cult, playful
