Station Omega
A maintenance duct hatch to your right is slightly ajar, and though it’s a tight fit, you crouch down and prepare to crawl through it, hoping it offers a safer route toward the crystalline structure.You turn toward the source of the rhythmic tapping, raising your flashlight like a club, and cautiously advance to face whatever is making the sound head-on, determined to uncover what’s stalking you.Spotting a pool of the oily residue ahead, you hurl the fire extinguisher into it with all your strength, aiming to test whether the material reacts violently and perhaps buy yourself some time.You notice a sealed door to your left marked "Containment Lab 3." Using your multi-tool, you attempt to force it open, hoping to find equipment or answers inside, even as the tapping grows louder behind you.
