Eclipse Phase "The Black Spot" Chapter 1: A Deal in Microgravity

On Extropia—a hollowed-out asteroid where contracts matter more than laws—three Firewall sentinels answer a quiet call for help. A meticulous data archaeologist named Marzuk has arrived with a lead: a pre-Fall backup server tied to a long-dead corporation. Valuable, dangerous, or both, the find could hold technology untouched since the Fall itself. But before any excavation can begin, Marzuk needs a team he can trust—security, expertise, and someone who understands how to navigate Extropia’s microgravity markets without losing their footing. As Sava, Hex, and Nyal make first contact, they face the puzzle of earning his confidence while concealing their true allegiances. And with the entire mission destined to be recorded as XP for provenance, every move must be played carefully. Episode One sets the stage in a place where reputation is currency, every deal has fine print, and the shadow of old Titan tech is never far behind. About the Chronicle Eclipse Phase – The Black Spot is a transhuman sci-fi thriller set after the Fall, where Firewall sentinels quietly work to prevent another catastrophic event. This story follows a small cell dispatched to investigate a rumored pre-Fall data cache—one that could be priceless, corrupted, or catastrophically compromised. Built for mystery, tension, and shifting allegiances, The Black Spot explores what happens when valuable knowledge resurfaces from a world the Titans nearly destroyed—and what Firewall must do to keep history from repeating itself. 🗨️ Hop into our Discord!
