I had lots of fun with this! I'm a major sucker for high-tech sci-fi and this definitely scratches that itch. It looks great and sounds great and seems mechanically tight. Good scene transitions, too.
I played a second time to try doing things in a different order but I didn't manage to tease out the bugs you mention in the beginning, no matter how hard I tried lol
The text appeared a little on the slow side and, as far as I could tell, there was no way to speed it up or skip the crawl. I fully acknowledge that this could just be down to reading speed but the ability to skip the text animation would be a big plus.
Very nice prototype!
