Station Omega
Spotting an ajar access panel in the ceiling, you climb into the ventilation system. The cramped ducts might serve as a quicker route to the signal or allow you to discreetly survey the area below.Navigate the maze-like maintenance tunnels, following the faint pulsing signal with the help of your portable scanner. As you narrow down its source, the static interference grows louder, whispering fragmented noises that feel unnervingly close.Your eyes catch faint, jagged scratches running along the tunnel's metal walls. Stop to investigate, using your wrist-mounted device to log the strange markings, which appear to defy explanation by conventional tools or human intervention.Rush to the closest bulkhead door and physically lock it to block access to the maintenance tunnels. This calculated risk could create a barrier against potential threats and buy you critical time to regroup.
