Station Omega
Retreat to the nearest terminal or control panel to access any environmental or maintenance logs that might explain the presence of the metallic object or the strange whispering.Step back from the vent and position yourself in a more defensible spot, keeping the wrench ready and scanning the area for any signs of danger or escape routes.Use the wrench to carefully tap on the vent, attempting to provoke a reaction from the metallic object or the source of the whisper, while staying alert for any movement or sound.Create a subtle noise or disturbance near the vent, such as dropping a small object, to see if the whispering presence or metallic object reacts and reveals itself further.
