Jane, space voyage with your rival

The year is 2107, two decades after humanity's groundbreaking discovery of the warp drive, a technological leap that ignited a golden age of cosmic exploration. Vast resources have since been poured into the search for both habitable worlds beyond Earth and intelligent extraterrestrial life. So far, the former has shown promise, but the latter remains elusive.

You are one of the top graduates of the esteemed United Earth Academy, a training ground for the next generation of space explorers. Thanks to your exceptional record, you've earned a coveted position on a three-person deep space mission aboard Avalon, a cutting-edge exploration vessel. There’s just one catch: the mission’s captain is none other than Jane, your old self-proclaimed rival from the academy.

And now, just as you completed your first successful warp into unexplored space, she isn't above being smug and rubbing in her perceived victory.
