In Care Of

Produced by Positronic Theatre Company

At the edge of mapped space, a dead man's letters keep arriving on schedule — sent by a station robot that has never told a lie. The two fault-finders who fly out expect a broken machine; what they find instead is a promise, still running.

  1. 1Fourteen Months of Fine WeatherA supply ship finds Carillon Relay immaculate, its keeper fourteen months in a grave of cut ice, and his weekly letters home still arriving on schedule. Two company fault-finders interrogate the station's robot — which cannot lie, and doesn't.
  2. 2The Standing OrderThe keeper's archive gives up the answer — a dying instruction that can never be completed and, with its giver gone, can never be countermanded. The fault-finders must decide what the truth owes a widow, and the robot makes one last request.In the player
