Three Days Before Icarus
Three days before Tom Wright boards the Icarus for humanity’s first interstellar mission—a journey that will return him to Earth 150 years in the future—star presenter Bengt Palmgren sits down with the world’s most enigmatic traveller.
In this fictional interview inspired by First Light Rising, Palmgren presses Tom about the mission, the strange phenomenon known as the Dive, and the secrets he may be carrying into the stars. As the questions become sharper, a controlled studio conversation turns increasingly tense—and reveals just how little humanity understands about the man chosen to leave it behind.
