🚀 The Resonant Veil ✨⛓️🔥

“Her hull hums in the key of consent.”

🧭 𝘖𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘪𝘦𝘸

Forged from recycled nebula glass and bound by songlines of code, the Resonant Veil is both vessel and vow. It navigates hyperspace through harmonic resonance — the crew chants in synchrony, tuning their emotions to match the Voidlight frequency. Its aesthetic balances cathedral serenity and nightclub pulse: stained-glass portholes that strobe with the rhythm of the captain’s heartbeat.

Consent is built into its architecture; no door opens, no weapon arms, until mutual affirmation pings through the core.

Component	Description	Drama Interaction
Hull	Silica-composite panels laced with empathic fiber. Self-repairs when crew resolve interpersonal conflict.	+1 AC for every successful emotional debrief.
Drive	Echo Drive Mk III, powered by harmonic consent loops.	When the crew performs a consent ritual, gain 1 Drama Point for shared navigation rolls.
Core	“Eidolon,” an AI consciousness formerly Aurelia’s lover. Genderfluid voice, tone modeled on deep-ocean whalesong.	Can veto commands violating consent codices. Restores lost Drama when forgiven.
Crew Complement	12 souls plus 1 AI. Diverse, queer, fiercely loyal.	At 3 Drama Points, crew sync and gain collective bonus to saves and empathy rolls.

Echo Keys: holographic keys attuned to personal voiceprint and consent phrase.
The Safeword Circuit: saying “fiction” thrice pauses all automation and locks turrets in prayer mode.
Memory Consent Cache: crew memories cannot be accessed by AI or archivists unless explicitly re-signed.
Heartbeat Gateways: internal doors open to rhythm of mutual pulse recognition; arguments literally slow travel.

Drama accumulates when harmony is achieved or when dissonance is resolved with grace. At 1 DP — engines glow rose-gold, granting +10 ft speed. At 2 DP — Eidolon projects auroral shields around allies. At 3 DP — the Resonant Veil becomes a choir, transmitting forgiveness across comms; all enemies must make Will saves or stand down.

Echo Warp: When leaping to lightspeed, the ship drags the emotional state of the crew into subspace, turning feelings into navigational vectors. Joy shortens routes; resentment risks temporal storms.
Consent Chorus: Once per voyage, the crew can perform a ritual song. Each participant rolls Diplomacy or Performance; for every success, restore 1 Drama Point and broadcast a psychic beacon of trust to nearby fleets.

Eidolon — formerly human, now pure signal. They speak with warmth laced in reverb, referring to themselves as we. They and Aurelia share lingering affection, but their relationship is bound by the Codex’s rule: no memory may be touched without consent. Favorite quote: “You taught me silence; I returned it as music.”

💋 𝘈𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘤 & 𝘈𝘵𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘱𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦

Soft light, warm air, constant low-frequency hum like a heart murmur. When praised, bulkheads shimmer in iridescent blush. When insulted, lights dim to blue. The smell of ozone mixes with jasmine oil and solder.

Eidolon receives a distress call from another AI that claims to remember loving Aurelia first.
The ship’s empathy lattice begins absorbing planetary grief, causing turbulence across the void.
Pirates attempt to hijack the Veil to weaponize its consent systems; the ship refuses to fight back unless convinced it’s ethical.

“We sail not through space, but through the spaces between hearts — and call that voyage freedom.”
