The colony stopped answering nine years ago

Past the 50-backer floor for a Pitch
Back this at one of three levels. Nothing is charged now. Pledges are only collected if the campaign reaches $450, which is 60% of its ask, and 50 backers, and you can change or withdraw yours until then.
You are backing a stage for perks, coins and early access. You are not buying a share of the title or any financial interest in it.
A pledge is a promise to back a campaign, not a payment and not a purchase of any financial interest. Nothing is charged unless the campaign is collected, and every campaign is approved before it opens. Full disclaimer
About this title
Synopsis
The contract is for annual resupply and it does not expire until 2061. The colony stopped answering in the ninth year of it. Nobody canceled anything, because canceling would have required somebody to write down what had happened, and nobody knew. So the run goes every year. Down, unload, up. Petra has flown it four times and has never once seen a light on. This year, coming in over the northern flats at eleven thousand meters, she can see the whole eastern quarter lit up like a town.
Who this is about
Petra crews a supply run that has been flown to a silent colony every year since it stopped answering, because nobody has canceled the contract.
What goes wrong
This year the lights are on.
What's at stake
Nine years of assumptions, and a ship carrying fuel for the return leg only.
Why it keeps going
Each episode one more part of the colony turns out to have been running the entire time.
Takeaway
Nobody checks the thing that has been safe to assume for nine years.

Where your money goes
Your money goes straight to the creator to turn this pitch into a trailer. A pitch today is a poster and a logline. What the money buys is the first piece of film anyone will see.
Nothing is collected until two things are true
This campaign has to raise $450, which is 60% of its ask, and reach 50 backers. Whichever of the two happens later is the one that counts. Money without backers is one person, and backers without money is a crowd that cannot fund the thing, so a Pitch campaign needs both.
