Station Omega
Use your multi-tool to smash the memory core in a desperate attempt to sever its connection to the station. The core emits a high-pitched screech and a burst of blinding light, shaking the walls and forcing you to brace yourself as the station seems to react violently.Close the panel and leave the memory core untouched, deciding that tampering with it might be too dangerous. Instead, you focus on documenting its appearance and location, planning to revisit it later with better tools or more information.Reconnect the console's wiring to stabilize its power and attempt to interface with the memory core directly. The screen flickers violently, displaying cryptic alien symbols and distorted human faces as you scramble to decode the data before the system overloads.Carefully disconnect the glowing memory core from the console, mindful of the sparking wires and the station's increasingly erratic hum. The core pulses faintly in your hand, almost as if alive, and you wonder if taking it might trigger something deeper within the station.
