Station Omega
You make your way to Subdeck 7, plasma cutter in hand, and manually override the sealed hatch. As the door grinds open, a wave of cold air rushes out, carrying with it a faint, metallic scent and the sound of distant, rhythmic tapping.You follow the unsettling, guttural sound reverberating through the walls, navigating the station's dim corridors. The noise grows louder, leading you to a maintenance shaft where something large and organic seems to be pulsating in the shadows.You decide to secure the storage room as a temporary safe zone, barricading the entrance with nearby crates and equipment. Using the tools you've gathered, you rig a makeshift alarm system to alert you to any movement outside.You detour to the comms room, where the distorted transmissions have been originating. The screen flickers with static, and as you attempt to decode the messages, a shadowy figure briefly appears on the monitor before vanishing.
