A Father's Request

By John Bailey

In the distant frontier of human expansion, some places are too remote to matter-and too dangerous to forget.

When Richard Maddock Vyrnwy inherits controlling interest in his family's holdings, he expects legal complexity, not moral collision. But buried in the archives is a burial record that reshapes everything he believed about his parents.

His mother, Rhiannon Vyrnwy, rests in a remote survey zone designated Outer Survey Object VG-4471-a place officially classified as unviable, unreachable, and economically irrelevant.

And his father, Gethryn Maddock Vyrnwy, left behind a final request:
He is to be buried there as well.

What begins as a matter of estate execution becomes something far larger when corporate stakeholders intervene. Vyrnwy Holdings proposes a more "appropriate" solution: relocation to a curated memorial world, complete with accessible transport routes, heritage hotels, and controlled remembrance experiences.

A legacy that can be visited. Managed. Monetized.

Richard must decide whether to comply with a system that promises comfort-or honor a request that leads into uncharted space, where navigation hazards drift without warning and memory has never been officially recorded.

But the deeper he investigates VG-4471, the more he realizes the truth was never about where his parents died.

It was about where they chose to remain.

And what it means when a corporation decides even death should be optimized.
