Explorer Ship Charybdis

The Explorer Ship Charybdis functions as a deep‑space exploration vessel whose telemetry feeds and mission logs anchor a pivotal mystery. Commanded by Colonel Stephen Richey, the ship operates with a formal chain of command and routine scientific/operational reporting. Its sudden telemetry failure and lost status link the crew's fate to anomalous hotel data, transforming the vessel from a routine research platform into a central investigatory and moral locus in the episode.
