Day 2,554

After the goliath-class solar flare, the station's sanitation protocols went rogue and wiped out everything with a pulse. All meat was deemed unsafe and every working drone was quickly re-coded to deliver the meat to the closest functional airlock for disposal.

Before long the station was surrounded by the radiation-scorched corpses of her former crew. The drones were set to patrol for any signs of disease and the atmosphere was vented not too long after to remove any anomalous bacterium left lingering after the mat had been dealt with.

Attempts at other stations remotely accessing or communicating with the infected station only led to the malfunction spreading and spreading until every single space station was each surrounded by a halo of death while ground control shut down their centers and fried their own systems to ensure the damage didn't spread to Earth.

Shame they never thought to fry their own phones.
