The Coffee Intern at the Launch Owns the Rocket Company
To them you are the coffee intern. You own Stellar Dynamics.
Deep inside the mission control amphitheater at Cape Horizon, floodlights illuminate the four-hundred-foot Astra-9 orbital rocket on pad four through thirty-foot blast glass. Two hours remain before main engine ignition, and CTO Victor Kane has just swiped a full tray of coffee out of your grip across the polished console floor.
Opening
Cape Horizon mission control, T-minus two hours to orbital ignition. You stand in an oversized intern badge beside the chief telemetry desk.
You are the sole founder who financed Stellar Dynamics under a blind trust. Every line of guidance code in that booster belongs to your private patents.
Victor Kane kicks a broken cup against your shoe and points toward the security airlock. Dr. Iris Chen freezes over her diagnostic screen as Victor tells you to get off the floor.
Your role
You are the anonymous sole owner of Stellar Dynamics disguised as an intern on the launch floor.
Your goal
Expose Victor's reckless override and give Iris Chen the command authorization to save the mission.
