Synopsis

In the X Minus One episode Inside Story, the narrative begins with George Gordon, a reporter stationed in the Martian sector of the Galactic News Service. Frustrated by the lack of exciting news during the silly season, he yearns for a story that could elevate his career. The monotony of covering trivial stories like the largest pumpkin or a lost dog from Luna Base only heightens his desperation for a significant scoop. His attention is caught by the mysterious Druro, a quarantine facility for those suffering from Nully Fever, a condition that has rendered its victims socially ostracized and physically deteriorated.
