The Fullman research facility’s underground lab has been cleared for a unique experiment. In its centre rests a newly recovered artifact—a dark crystalline structure, faintly resonating with energies no one can fully explain. As the artifact is touched, scanned, or tested, something strange begins. At first, just fleeting impressions: voices half-heard, images at the edge of sight, shadows that don’t belong. The timing of these strange happening could not be worse as today the lab has a reporter visiting to record a documentary on the work of the Institute And of course...

The expedition vessel ESV Aspirant Dawn has landed on the frozen surface of a distant world—Barnard b (or another suitable planet in the Barnard’s Star system). They were sent by the UFR to investigate a mysterious energy source deep underground, but something isn’t right. Beneath thick ice, they’ve descended into an ancient ruin. The walls are engraved with symbols no one recognises. At its heart is a chamber filled with what look like fossilised egg sacks sitting in a haze of frozen vapour.

In this episode, we’re in orbit above TOI-700 d, a lush Earth-like exoplanet orbiting a red dwarf star just over 100 light-years from Earth. The planet is home to the Tylash, a spacefaring but technically less advanced society with no historical baggage with the UFR or the old corporate blocs. The settlements on the planet surface are littered with a unique natural resource Weyl semimetals, a new class of quantum materials that have the physical appearance of metals but are poor conductors of electricity, and whose properties do not change when they are deformed. The commercial potential for which would be enormous as the exotic material has only previously been made in labs. However, extracting those materials would be devastating to the local communities.The Tylash have reached out as they have seismic data that predicted a once in a milena resonance cascade that threatens to destabilise a huge portion of their continent. It won’t destroy the planet—but it will cause widespread suffering,devastating local flora and fauna as well as making living conditions very difficult for the next decade. A UFR Crisis delegation with a representative of CoreHelix Crisis Division has arrived to talk to the locals about their options and they have 20 minutes before they are due to make their recommendation to the UFR Senator responsible for the Emergency Measures Agency.

In this episode, we’re inside the UFR Research Station Osiris, currently orbiting the Carina Nebula—a vast, real-world star-forming region over 7,500 light-years from Earth. Osiris is observing an interstellar anomaly known as Object 514-C, a self-repeating neutrino burst that may be the first observed remnant signal from a pre-galactic civilization. It’s a scientific posting of immense prestige - and potential danger. The anomaly occasionally disrupts local communications, and proximity to dark matter filaments poses a navigational hazard. Despite this, political pressure means the position of Orbital Administrator must be filled immediately. The UFR Recruitment Officer has 20 minutes to choose from three available candidates, each with impeccable qualifications...  but of course Anything Could Happen CAST: Ex-WSO Lieutenant Mike Lennox: António Salreta (he/him) Captain Anders Douglas: Chris Payne (he/him) Recruitment Officer Brian Smith: Adam Qutaishat (any/all) Xenophysics Specialist Dr Ady Lucamar: Lucie Prunier (she/her) HOST: Oscar Clark EDITOR & PRODUCER: Elliott Clark SCENARIO: Oscar Clark --- NOTES: Format and narrative background are adapted from 'WestPoint: Extra Planetary Academy' created by Oscar Clark with additional material by David Hankins ALL RIGHTS RESERVED © Stormlantern Productions 2025 AnythingCouldHappen Show is part of the Fable and Folly Network (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://fableandfolly.com/)⁠⁠⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, the escape shuttle Callisto’s Mercy drifts silently after evacuating the orbital research station Spire-6 moments before a catastrophic breach. The explosion destroyed the station—and with it, the GeneralAI android known as R. Lyra, a fully sentient being with legal personhood. Five survivors escaped the station In 20 minutes, the MSV Minas Geraes will arrive. The survivors must resolve who was responsible, and what to tell the authorities.

In this episode, we find ourselves aboard the CSV Halcyon Wake, an independent civilian cargo vessel. You've intercepted a distress signal from the CSV Trillium Fold, a CoreHelix registered transport ship that vanished over 18 months ago. It’s drifting on minimal power in the Eos Molecular Cloud, a volume of space 300 Ly from Earth and just outside the standard Way Station network - making it off-map, off-registry, and completely silent. No signs of damage. No response to hails. Escape pods: gone. Life signs: negative. Manifest: redacted. You have just docked alongside the apparently abandoned vessel to investigate. You have 20 minutes until a “recovery” vessel, claiming authority under CoreHelix salvage licence, but they have not supplied any corroborating evidence.

In this episode, we find ourselves on Station 2123-VX, orbiting the volcanic moon Charon-Gamma, a hostile, high-pressure hellworld rich in pressurised hydrogen and rare isotope salts used in fusion batteries. The station is operated by CoreHelix, a UFR-licensed megacorporation that runs industrial refineries under contract. The workers here—mostly humans, Spacers, and some cyber-augmented Q’Elar—are overworked and cracking under the pressure. A new station chief has just arrived. A body’s just been found.

In this episode, we find ourselves aboard the CSV Marietta’s Requiem - a Civilian Space Vehicle retrofitted as a diplomatic auditorium, currently in high orbit above Tau Ceti f. The vessel hosts the Interstellar Peace Gala, a high-profile cultural summit orchestrated to symbolise interspecies unity and reinforce the fragile trust between UFR member factions and former enemies. The centrepiece of this gala is “Harmony Beyond Stars”, an original multisensory opera composed by a renowned Spacer artist. Delegates from across the UFR and its allies are gathered in ceremonial finery, seated in separate viewing galleries - and everyone is watching everyone else.

In this episode, we find ourselves in the Kepler-22 system, where the survey and salvage vessel CSV Helix Wake is conducting operations on K-22-Δ6—a 200km-long metallic asteroid on a slow inbound solar trajectory. Its mass signature indicates extraordinarily dense superconductive material—potentially a jackpot for deep-space infrastructure. GlacioDyne’s deep-claim salvage division is funding the operation. The crew began mining operations just under 12 hours ago. But the last 90 minutes have been… strange. The asteroid has shifted. Not once—multiple times. Internal temperature is rising. There are tremors, electromagnetic spikes, and a low-frequency resonance from inside. You’ve been summoned to the bridge to make a decision: push forward with the mining, investigate further, or abandon the claim.

In this episode, we find ourselves in the K2-18 system, orbiting K2-18b—a confirmed Hycean planet more than 100 light-years from Earth. With a surface cloaked in thick hydrogen-rich clouds, and a vast ice-covered ocean beneath, K2-18b has long been thought to be one of the most likely candidates for alien life. The UFR Research Icebreaker Louis S. St-Laurent has recently established orbit following the deployment of a new hydrogen-atmospheric descent rig—allowing limited surface access for the first time. But operating through the planet’s cloud layer is costly, risky, and requires corporate sponsorship. GlacioDyne, a deep-extraction conglomerate, has funded the mission. Their goal: authorise full ice crust penetration, enabling access to volatile-rich sublayers and potential energy sources. But just days ago, the science team detected something unexpected: Life. A vast colony of complex multicellular myco-gelid (ultra low-temperature adaptive fungal-like) organisms have been found embedded in the ice—potentially unique to K2-18b containing a unique organic chemistry What does this mean for the mission and who owns the rights for exploration?
