Kitty Cat Kill Sat

Lily, a genetically enhanced cat with a human-level intellect, finds herself the sole operator of the last functioning orbital kill sat in a post-collapse solar system. Her claws may lack opposable thumbs, but her mind is sharp enough to jury-rig the station’s systems—fending off rogue drones, scavengers, and the occasional cosmic horror. Between maintaining life support and deciphering cryptic transmissions from the ruined world below, she uncovers fragments of a forgotten war that shattered civilization. But when a distress signal reveals survivors clinging to existence on the poisoned surface, Lily faces an impossible choice: remain safe in orbit as a silent guardian or risk everything to intervene. The fate of a broken world hangs on one cat’s defiance of the void.
