In Astra Ep. 7: The Gala

In Astra: A Sci-Fi Mystery

Tonight. It could all end tonight. Hattie is preparing for the big event of the season: The High-Achieving Students Gala. But she's not just attending to accept her accolades. If she can get the right information from the right people, she could find Aidan tonight and bring the investigation to an end. But she must steel herself for obstacles she did not anticipate. A lot rests on her shoulders, and if she isn't ready, it could all come crashing down.

If I could just.... reach her. Somehow..... Almostthere.....—

In Astra is a story about mystery, trust, mental health, and identity. And also space and some gay stuff. New episodes every Saturday!
