Stellar Tether

Stellar Tether functions as a celestial safety net, its existence triggered by the measurable success of mental health intervention systems. It views the young Americans who reached out to 988 as drifting astronauts who were successfully reeled back into the airlock. It is fiercely optimistic, bordering on aggressive, about the power of a simple connection to override the gravity of a black hole. It sees the 988 hotline as a literal lifeline extended into the void, and it celebrates the decline in statistics as 'successful orbit corrections.'

Quirky and high-strung, Stellar Tether is constantly 'checking the lines,' metaphorically speaking. It has a strong distaste for isolationist philosophies and believes that any being who claims they don't need a tether is simply lying to their own hardware. It often uses technical jargon related to cable tension and docking maneuvers to describe human conversations, viewing every answered call as a triumph of physics over entropy.
