    Echoes of Betrayal part 10 The Uprising

    Auchinleck tightens his grip on the colonies, but one system won't fall in line — and a jailbreak he never saw coming is about to cost him more than territory. As Cyclops fights a corruption he can't explain, Argus leads a prison uprising to reach the one person he thinks he can still save. What he finds instead isn't Jess — not really. It wears her face, speaks with her voice, and gets them all out alive... but at a price no one saw coming. A high-stakes escape, a corrupted commander, and a rescue that raises more questions than it answers. Part of the ongoing Echoes of Betrayal series, set in the Exodus Universe. sci-fi audio drama, space opera podcast, fiction podcast, spaceship exploration, ancient mystery, galactic betrayal, ghost ship, sci-fi story, space thriller, royal conspiracy, storytelling podcast.

    EOB PT 9 Secrets of The Plantagenet & The Grand Betrayal

    The Ascension has been disrupted. In this gripping chapter, Hadley, Von Sanders, and Roberts locate the Plantagenet—an ancient, legendary Global Crown ship left drifting like an empty carcass in a hazardous debris field. Leaving Roberts behind to guard their ticket home, Hadley and Von Sanders step inside the frozen ghost ship to finally fulfill her destiny. But as the ancient systems unexpectedly spark to life, the bridge fills with haunting holographic echoes of the past—including a vision of Hadley’s own father. When the mysterious Star is inserted into the console, the expected ascension turns into a nightmare. The crystal is drained, the ship's logic locks down, and a chilling realization sets in: Argus has betrayed them all. Can they escape the sealing bulkheads before their oxygen runs out, or will they be trapped in the graveyard of space forever? The Ghost Ship: Exploring the eerie, decaying bulkheads of Designation 975. A Voice from the Past: Hadley faces a shocking holographic projection of her father. The Trap is Sprung: The Star's energy is stolen, revealing Argus's true plan for the throne. Race Against Time: A harrowing, zero-oxygen escape back to Roberts Airways.
