Station Omega
You disable the drone's rotors and carry it in your arms, letting its heat source pulse against your chest. With deliberate steps, you make yourself the bait, walking toward the waste disposal chamber and listening for the creature's guttural growls behind you.You grab a plasma torch from a nearby toolbox and weld shut a bulkhead behind the drone, ensuring the creature has only one path forward—straight into the trap. The smell of scorched metal fills the air as you work quickly, your ears straining for any sound of movement nearby.You program the drone to buzz deeper into the unlit corridors, its glowing heat source pulsing like a beacon as it ventures into the shadows. You follow at a safe distance, clutching a wrench as the sound of scraping metal echoes closer, signaling the creature's approach.You grab a nearby emergency flare, ignite it, and toss it down a side corridor to amplify the heat signature. The drone hovers in place, its movements mimicking life as you retreat into the shadows, hoping the creature will follow the glowing flare and buzzing drone.
