I don't think it was official. And I wouldn't recommend reading it before bed, it's a bit melodramatic.

[ Specifically the rundown on the 'smiley' situation, because what the actual heck is up with that. ]

Basic idea is spaceship malfunction, pods kidnapping people, now there's a boatload of strangers stuck in a tin can in space. Assuming any of it's even real, which I'm frankly still on the fence about. I've had weirder dreams, so I'm holding out hope.
