Station Omega
A sudden metallic clang echoes from a nearby maintenance shaft. You grip your weapon tightly and crouch low, moving toward the source of the sound, ready to confront—or evade—whatever might be lurking there.Fearing that activating the beacon may have drawn unwanted attention, you grab nearby debris and begin barricading the control room door, fortifying your position as you prepare for a potential confrontation.You notice a faint trail of the strange oily residue leading away from the control panel and deeper into the station. Against your better judgment, you decide to follow it, hoping it might reveal the source of the chaos.The control panel flickers again, offering temporary access to the station's logs. You hastily sift through corrupted files and fragmented audio recordings, searching for any clue about what caused the station’s downfall.
