Setting: Near future, a research facility or aerospace company. Maybe something like Aurora Dynamics. The ship is designed for faster-than-light travel but has hidden dangers. The exclusive angle could be a journalist uncovering the secret. midv578 exclusive

Elara enlisted an old friend, tech-journalist Jax Raines, leaking the Midv578 schematics to him as “an exclusive” under an encrypted alias.
