After Midnight Tales

Trapped Satellite Whispers a Perfect Lie


Listen Later

A team of contracted cleanup workers is dispatched to a desolate region of Kazakhstan to recover what authorities describe as harmless satellite debris. From the moment they arrive, the mission feels wrong. Their instruments pick up a human voice echoing from far beneath the ground—an impossibility, given repeated assurances that the object was unmanned.As excavation begins, the voice grows clearer and more personal. It speaks differently to each member of the crew, exploiting private fears, guilt, and unresolved trauma, slowly turning them against one another. Tension escalates into paranoia, and trust within the team collapses.The truth is revealed when they breach the structure’s core. Inside, they find a dead crew member, sealed within an organic, pod-like chamber that appears almost alive—designed not to restrain, but to invite. It becomes clear the entity was never passive; it was calling, manipulating human psychology to secure a host.Before the survivors can fully comprehend what they’ve uncovered, government forces arrive, locking down the site and erasing all official records of the mission. The survivors are released under threat and silence.The story ends with a chilling implication: the cleanup team was never meant to retrieve wreckage. They were the final test—and whatever was buried in the ground may no longer be contained.
