Ceres Station

Ceres

A crowded Belt station and transit hub where Amos sees the familiar hierarchy of those with power and those surviving in its cracks.

Story so far

Ceres Station is a densely trafficked spaceport of kiosks, gates, flight boards, bars, maintenance hatches, and travelers moving toward other destinations. Amos Burton waits there for his Luna transport, watching a hungry child assess unattended belongings and recognizing the station's informal ecology of predation and adaptation.

For Amos, Ceres is not merely a stop between Tycho and Earth. Its visible divide between prosperous travelers and people living in the cracks recalls the survival logic of his childhood: adapt to the concrete world or be paved over by it. Marco's message also says Cyn and Karal are presently on Ceres, though their meeting has not yet occurred.
