Station Omega
You spot a terminal embedded in the reactor room wall, its screen flickering faintly. Accessing the security logs might provide clues about prior incidents in the reactor, the origin of the bioluminescent residue, or the strange humanoid shapes. Time is of the essence, but the information could be vital. You grab a loose piece of debris or a tool from the floor and hurl it toward the far end of the reactor room. The loud clatter might draw the attention of whatever is causing the tapping, giving you a chance to reposition or observe the humanoid outlines without being noticed. You quickly scan the room for materials to create a makeshift trap. Using loose wires, sharp debris, or even the bioluminescent residue itself, you prepare a defensive measure in case the humanoid shapes solidify—or the tapping reveals something far worse. You locate a nearby control panel in the reactor room and begin a desperate attempt to analyze the environmental systems. Perhaps the bioluminescent residue and the strange tapping are linked to a malfunction—or something more deliberate. Understanding the reactor's current state might reveal what’s causing these eerie phenomena.
