Synopsis

WORK, Sex and Life and  On a cold, sunless planet blanketed in snow, plasma flows beneath the surface. The unstable semi-liquid glows purple. Its composition, similar to a candlelight's, is close to the fifth state of matter. This rare resource, vital for generating electricity, lures cyber-planets desperate for cheap energy. Yet, the planet's turbulent magnetic field renders it deadly to AI, leaving only humans to brave its challenges. At the heart of this icy wasteland stands a centuries-old steam-mechanical rig, operated exclusively by men—a solitary stronghold of life. The crew takes pride in sustaining the precarious balance of the rig. But their endurance is tested when an unknown creature infiltrates their sanctuary. Forced to follow protocol, the security captain requests aid from CASTEL, a mega-bio-corporation infamous for only hiring women and its bending of the rules of biology. As eliminating the threat becomes frustrating, the Captain and CASTEL's commander have to choose between responsibility and life. Nothing is more Horror-Sci-Fi than WORK.
