Station Omega
You determine the corridor is too dangerous and engage the emergency bulkhead mechanism, locking it down securely. From your comms device, you broadcast a distress signal to any survivors, then prepare to hold your position.A slightly ajar maintenance hatch catches your eye, inviting you into the station's ventilation shafts. The tight, stifling space closes in around you as your flashlight reveals eerie markings, and a faint, rhythmic noise grows louder with each movement forward.You approach the maintenance bay door and, weapon in hand, override the lock mechanism. As the door creaks open, the faint emergency lighting illuminates the disarray, and a shadow darts away into the depths of the room.The sharp clang of metal reverberates from a side corridor, making you stop in your tracks. With a deep breath, you decide to investigate, flashlight illuminating the debris-strewn hallway as the sound pulls you closer.
