Station Omega
You notice a vent opening beneath you, its cover already removed, revealing a dimly lit room below. Steeling yourself, you brace your hands on the shaft’s edges and drop down, ready to face whatever lies beneath.A faint blue glow spills through the slats of a vent opening ahead, pulsing irregularly like a heartbeat. You carefully edge closer, peering through the slats to investigate the source of the unnatural light.A sudden, sharp hiss—like pressurized air escaping—erupts from somewhere behind you, sending a shiver down your spine. Panicking, you decide to crawl back the way you came, sealing the grate behind you to block whatever might be following.You hear a faint, rhythmic clanging echoing through the vent system, as though something—or someone—is moving deeper within. Against your better judgment, you decide to crawl toward the sound, hoping to uncover its source before it finds you.
