Welcome to this special edition of the WBC Evening Report. We’re following a developing story out of the Southern Doggerlands, where multiple eyewitnesses have reported a sudden burst of meteor-like activity over the open sea. | |||
Astrophysicists at the Teradyne Observatory were quick to note that no meteor shower was expected in this region, nor have any solar events been logged that might explain it. | |||
More on this story in just a moment. | |||

We return now to our coverage of the unexpected atmospheric event over the Southern Doggerlands. The footage you’re seeing comes from several amateur sources, showing streaks of light — some described as “blazing fire trails” — descending rapidly over the sea. | |||
Initial speculation ranged from classified aerospace testing to orbital debris. But now, some experts are pushing back against those explanations. | |||
Here’s WBC Science Advisor Ron Guron, currently en route to the scene by air. | |||

“I’m above the southern coast now — middle of nowhere, frankly — and I have to say, what we’re seeing doesn’t behave like standard meteorological debris. Meteorites usually burn up completely before hitting the surface. These… didn’t.” | |||
The camera shakily pans across dark, rippling waves. Something smolders faintly on the horizon. | |||
“We’re picking up signs of impact — debris scattered across a wide radius. There’s metal. Floating.” | |||
A high-pitched alarm cuts through the cabin, followed by a series of pulsing warning tones. The camera jolts. | |||
Ron (shouting over the alarm): | |||
“Something’s interfering with our instruments—!” | |||
Pilot (frantic): | |||
“Flight controls just went soft! I don’t know what that signal is — some kind of scramble or—dammit! We’re in a feedback loop—no response from nav!” | |||
Co-Pilot (off-mic, yelling): | |||
“Throttle dead! Manual override won’t engage!” | |||
Ron (to camera, voice shaky): | |||
“We’re losing altitude — attempting to regain — oh God—” | |||
Pilot: | |||
“Hold on! HOLD ON! We’re going down — brace — brace—” | |||
The feed stutters. Frames skip. Static floods the screen. | |||
Pilot (final audible shout): | |||
“MAYDAY, MAYD—” | |||

The camera returns to the anchor desk. The lighting feels too bright, too artificial. The anchor — clearly unprepared for the feed cut — sits frozen for a beat, eyes locked on the monitor just off-camera. | |||
Anchor (quietly): | |||
“…we… uh…” | |||
He straightens his posture and clears his throat. | |||
Anchor (resuming tone): | |||
“WBC has lost contact with field analyst Ron Guron and his crew. We are working with the Southern Flight Authority and the Coast Guard to determine their status. At this time, we are not speculating on the cause of the incident.” | |||
He glances briefly off-screen, listening to his earpiece. | |||
“We’ll continue to bring you updates as they become available.” | |||
A longer pause follows. His expression falters — just slightly. | |||
“In the meantime… let’s take a look at earlier footage captured by coastal residents, moments before the reported impact. Viewer discretion is advised.” | |||

Starfall Summary
Starfall is the first arc of WillCo, the aftermath of a crash-landing on Earth, in the spaceship called "Titan". Stranded in the coastal waters of the Southern Doggerlands, the ship's medical officer Eris is forced into the role of acting captain.
As the surviving crew members struggle to maintain order inside the wrecked Titan, tensions mount between them, local Terran forces, and unknown extraterrestrial factions. A damaged AI named ALICE guides Eris through the ship’s systems while external threats close in — including a powerful alien vessel and internal collapse.
Starfall concludes with a Alice reboot giving the designation of “Base Commander,” to Eris
