Anomalous Interplanetary Orbit

Orbit Between Mars and Venus

Crew spots the uncharted planet here through Zeus 4's telescope: a forbidden path between Mars and Venus, where no world should orbit. Schultz senses eerie familiarity amid glaring impossibility, as radar pings confirm its mass. Vast solar emptiness frames the anomaly; power flickers and comms fade signal its disruptive pull, shattering models of stable orbits and hinting at alien forces probing Earth's defenses.
