S01E17 · Brunch & Bonding (Rian)

This episode is the cinematic audiobook version of ORRIONA UNIVERSE | BOOK ONE | LEGACY | CHAPTER TWELVE

Seven hours until they reach what remains of the Axrathan diplomatic fleet. Dr. Rian Jengu fills the kitchen with the quiet rhythm of preparation—omelets, griddle cakes, fresh coffee. The scent of actual food, not protein packs or recycled rations, draws the crew to the dining hall one by one.

Kellan claims strategic position near the griddle cakes. Nix follows with theatrical commentary. Val arrives in a clean tunic that speaks of confidence finally freed from station grime. Jotter settles beside her, tracking everything with careful assessment. And Kai—transformed in fitted IMZ clothing, still carrying that edge of observation but inhabiting space differently.

They've read Orriona's compiled reports on each other. They know the basics—skills, backgrounds, where they're from. But Kellan suggests they go beyond the files. Share something hidden. Something real.

Laughter fills the space. Stories emerge.

The warmth of shared amusement transforms the dining hall from a mere room into something closer to home. A briefing awaits in less than three hours. But for now, strangers who survived impossible odds together are learning what it means to be crew.

WHAT TO EXPECT:

Audio drama adaptation of Legacy with cinematic sound design
A queer-norm galaxy (no homophobia, no coming-out angst—just space adventures)
Found family forming over breakfast
Stories that reveal who they really are
Grand, hopeful adventure with a massive heart
