**In Astra: A Sci-Fi Mystery**

What is happening at Delphic Peak Preparatory School?

Joaquin Moreno doesn’t want to be here. But as a bizarre and disquieting mystery unfolds, he may be forced to stay and reckon with it—especially since he’s the only one who’s noticed. Now Joaquin must fight battles both outward and inward. Because truth carries burden. No one can go back in the dark once they find the light…

And there’s something watching us from the stars.

In Astra is a story about mystery, trust, mental health, and identity. And also space and some gay stuff. Season 2 coming soon!

Written, directed, and produced by Bee Dellepiane.

Show notes

Joaquin and Hattie are done playing around. They've been outwitted again and again, but the Headmaster, Faidan, everyone responsible for Aidan's disappearance—it's their turn now. The Investigation Squad has a secret weapon their adversaries don't know about, and if everything goes according to plan, they'll have the high ground for the first time. But who knows what their enemies are truly capable of? And if Joaquin and Hattie are taken off guard, they're going to need an exit strategy. The season 1 finale of In Astra.

Show notes

Plans fail. Strategies topple. Obstacles arise in unexpected places. These are truths that cannot be avoided. But can Joaquin cope with the mounting pressure? Can he stand to sit and wait when there's so much more he wants to do? He's running out of options, and if he can't keep things up, he could get trapped with no exit in sight. The penultimate episode of season 1.

I can'T stand to be merely an observer. what cann Ido?

Show notes

Tonight. It could all end tonight. Hattie is preparing for the big event of the season: The High-Achieving Students Gala. But she's not just attending to accept her accolades. If she can get the right information from the right people, she could find Aidan tonight and bring the investigation to an end. But she must steel herself for obstacles she did not anticipate. A lot rests on her shoulders, and if she isn't ready, it could all come crashing down.

If I could just.... reach her. Somehow..... Almostthere.....—

Show notes

Joaquin has seen something he cannot unsee. With new obstacles in his way and his trust in others wavering, will he buckle under the weight? Or is the stage being set for the perfect opportunity to strike? He and Hattie must work to see eye to eye if they want to find Aidan. And as they're forced to put more and more on the line, they must decide what is worth the risk.

I did it. I have made him aware of me. But there is more I can do. How? How.........

1.05 « A Dried Up Lake » Oct 03, 2020

Show notes

Things seem to be looking up. For the first time, Joaquin has a partner in the investigation to find Aidan. But they only have a few scattered pieces of an overwhelmingly vast puzzle. What they don't know can hurt them, but revelations too profound could make them wish they never started looking for answers in the first place. And the picture on the puzzle is starting to become clearer...

I... have an apology. An explanation. ... I cannot hide myself any longer.
