Station Omega
You access the station's emergency comms system and begin broadcasting a distress call, hoping for a nearby ship to respond. Midway through your message, an eerie and distorted sound cuts in, leaving you uncertain if your plea for help was even transmitted.You pick up a toolbox and start assembling improvised barricades using nearby equipment, reinforcing the control room's defenses. Midway through your work, a soft, steady tapping echoes from the ventilation system overhead.Fighting the urge to turn back, you unlock the control room and step cautiously into the pitch-black hallway, your flashlight revealing only fragments of the unknown ahead as you hold a crowbar at the ready. A faint metallic scraping sound reverberates through the corridor, amplifying the tension in the air.With no time to waste, you grab a compact diagnostic scanner and plug it into the control room's terminal, focusing on fixing the distorted camera feed. The liquid-like interference ripples briefly, and you swear you notice a shadow slipping through the corridor.
