Dr. Beth Adler is a medical researcher aboard the Celestus colony starship, a vessel plagued with issues since arriving at its destination. When an engineer with an unknown condition is brought onboard, things shift from inconvenient to extremely dire. The circumstances around the patient's exposure don't add up, and the deeper Beth dives, the more it looks like someone wanted it to happen.

Red Herring
The actors of this odd little play within an odd little play are dreadfully tired of performing in cliche British murder mystery farces set in perfect little drawing rooms so they decide to take the drawing room out of the mystery and set it somewhere entirely different, the lavatory. Just when things are looking shamefully hopeless, one of the actors turns up dead - in the drawing room. Find out who's playing dead and who's really pushing up daisies in this semi-farcical one act of murder, mystery, and revenge.
