Station Omega
Activate a handheld scanner to analyze the organic residue near the reactor, risking detection as the device emits a faint but audible hum.Access the reactor's control panel and attempt to temporarily shut it down, hoping the sudden power loss will draw the entity to investigate while you retreat to a safer position.Abandon the reactor for now and track the unsettling scraping noise, which seems to be growing louder and moving toward the station's restricted research wing.Use a crowbar or similar tool to force open the reactor's maintenance hatch, exposing the oily organic matter and its possible connection to the station's failing systems.
