The hidden Artifact secrets
Aster was driven by Halan’s feelings; she wanted to help him, as was shown in the mysterious vision. On the other hand, Saldana and Finch get the order to demolish Aleph’s mothership.
When Aster is confronted by Aleps, he thinks of telling all the artifact’s secrets and, in return, gets a pardon for Halam.
The Impact of the Artifact
Keir clinics for Aster’s path to reveal the secrets of an Artifact that could enhance humanity. Harmony was working on QTA and asked Halan to ask for Aster’s cooperation, as the organization was seeking to use her connection to the Artifact.
Saldana and Finch thought of using Aster to get an advantage with QTA, ignoring Harmony’s warnings.
The beacon sees technical malfunctions and glitches caused by Aleph’s mothership.
Harmony refuses Halan’s help, indicating allegiance to his maker’s fixation on the generational AI system. This conundrum of varied loyalties and interests sets the stage for a more intense and thrilling climax.
Uncertainties about Aster
As Saldana and Finch prepare to destroy the mothership, Aleph orders Harmony to trap them in airlocks, which will cut off their oxygen. But she grants them pardon and saves their lives.
Aster gets shot by Keir, and Halan thinks of getting inside the Artifact, leaving her future uncertain.
Despite the chaotic turn of events, Aster’s impactful role in the narrative of the story and her connection with the artifact indicates that she will survive, but the show has left many points unexplained, which keeps the audience in the loop.
Why did Keir kill Aster?
Kier was not prepared to give up, and Aster did not want to share the message with Keir. She wanted to share it with someone useful. Kier grabbed the gun from Halan’s possession.
Aleph comes and wants to talk to Aster about the mysteries revolving around the artifact. Aster tells Aleph that she will tell them about the artifact, but he has to pardon Halan. But Aleph couldn’t promise this.
Kier is not very smart, but his actions are for the greater good. He knows that he has to stop Aleph from damaging things any further, so he decides to kill Aster, who was the main key to the artifact.
When she is just about to share the message received from the artifact, Kier approaches and shoots Aster with the gun. She fell on the ground and was bleeding profusely. Halan called Harmony for help, but no one came to the rescue.
Will we see Aster in Season 2?
In the last scenes, it looks like Aster has died. We’re quickly taken to the hallucination sequence, where Aster wears a beautiful dress and looks young with Halan.
The young woman extends her hand towards Aster, who puts her hand on hers, and a flash of light covers them. She talks about a message that was not clear. But it is certain Aster is alive.
She is probably in a state of coma where her brain is active and in hallucination. In the coming season, she will be brought back to life with Aleph’s or Harmony’s help.
If this is the case, then it is to be seen that if she’ll still love Halan and save him from authorities. Fans can speculate all they want till the arrival of the new season.
