Station Omega
You make your way to Subdeck 7 using the emergency ladder shaft, your flashlight barely piercing the oppressive darkness. Each rung creaks under your weight, and the faint sound of dripping liquid echoes from below, growing louder with every step.Using your scanner, you emit a series of high-frequency pulses designed to replicate the alien residue's energy signature. You set the device on the floor, retreat to a safe distance, and wait, watching intently as the shadows around you ripple unnaturally in response.You retreat to the station's central control room, bypassing security protocols to activate the Subdeck 7 surveillance system. The monitors flicker to life, revealing grainy, static-filled footage of the sealed corridors, where strange, shifting shadows seem to dance just out of focus.Before venturing to Subdeck 7, you raid the nearby storage room for supplies—flashlights, a plasma cutter, and a portable oxygen tank. As you prepare, the station's lights flicker again, and a low, guttural sound reverberates through the walls, as though something is aware of your intent.
