Episode 2 · Gnosia

Gnosia

Yuuri wakes up on a cruiser drifting through empty space with no memory of how he got there. That turns out to be the smallest problem. Four other crew members are on board, and one of them is Gnosia, a creature wearing a human face so perfectly you would never spot the seam. Every vote to put a suspect into cold sleep is a coin flip. Get it wrong, and during the next warp, while everyone else is out, the Gnosia kills again. The votes keep failing anyway. People Yuuri trusted turn out to be someone else entirely, or the crew shrinks, or the faces change. Then, right when it is just Yuuri and the thing across from him, time snaps backward to the moment he first opened his eyes. The loop resets, but the ship does not reset the same way twice. Different people, different numbers, same enemy hiding in plain sight. So how do you catch a killer who can be anyone, when even the rules of the game keep changing?
