In 2315, with every television channel crackling, Jenny Douglas announces the United Governments' decision to dissolve the international space coalition and end space exploration — while Astrid and Jacky, mid-mission and now outlawed and without a safety net, face a warning light signalling a problem in the capsule that compromises the siblings' connection.

The scouts
Smart enough to play the dual-timeline gut-punch — bureaucratic dissolution versus hard sci-fi claustrophobia — but it doesn't quite have the teeth to pull off the subversion; the premise wants to be weirder than it actually commits to being.
A formally competent exercise in cross-cutting tension between the political and the personal, with clear lineage to space-thriller grammar, though the two-minute constraint means the thematic weight never quite settles into the kind of considered argument that lingers.
The sound design choice — letting the warning light's pulse bleed into the broadcast static, collapsing the two spaces into one mounting dread — is what transforms this from a neat premise into something that actually *feels* like catastrophe happening in real time.
