Part 5/9:

When a crew member, Lieutenant Lamar, inadvertently becomes embroiled in controversy after a seemingly innocent dance with a statue (thought to be a deity), he quickly finds himself at the mercy of the system's punitive measures. Dealing with a public vote that escalates rapidly, Lamar faces the potential of "correction"—a chilling process involving electrocution until memories are wiped clean.

The Struggles of Survival and Public Opinion

In this narrative, the stakes elevate as Lamar’s predicament leads to a frantic attempt by the crew to save him. They learn from local allies like Lysella that public favor is crucial, and the key to survival lies in framing a heartfelt apology to win votes back in his favor.
