Dr. Stone Reboot: Byakuya #[nn]

In the quiet hum of the international space station, civilian engineer Lillian Weinberg and scientist Byakuya Ishigami, alongside Byakuya’s prototype robot Rei, watch in stunned silence as a mysterious petrification ray blankets the Earth. With no way to return and the fate of humanity frozen in stone, they must race against time to calculate a way back and decide what kind of rescue—scientific, emotional, or both—might still be possible.

In "Give Me Space" from Dr. Stone Reboot: Byakuya, the fate of six astronauts rests on precise calculations and a final, perilous hope as they prepare to launch in escape pods—guided by Rei’s expertise and the fragile chance of survival.

When the first escape pod veers off course and crashes into the ocean, Lillian, Connie, and Shamil are stranded—forcing Byakuya and the Nikitins to reroute their mission in a high-stakes effort to bring them home. This tense, grounded moment tests their resolve as they navigate the vast, unforgiving sea.

In "A Hunt To Preserve the Space Station," Rei’s artificial intelligence, left alone on a drifting space station for two decades, must adapt to dwindling resources and unexpected changes in its mission. As the station’s systems falter and time stretches beyond its original design, the AI begins to improvise—searching for ways to survive, maintain, and preserve what remains.
