Station Omega
You stop and run your gloved hand across the bioluminescent walls, carefully scraping off a sample of the strange organic material into a containment vial. As you do, the pulsing glow intensifies, and a faint, almost imperceptible whisper seems to emanate from the walls themselves.Fearful of what might be lurking in the ever-shifting shadows, you stop at the nearest maintenance hatch and engage the manual override to seal the tunnel behind you. The heavy door groans as it slides shut, but the faint whispers and pulsing glow seem to seep through the cracks, defying containment.Determined to locate the source of the power surges, you grip your flashlight tightly and press forward, ignoring the oppressive atmosphere. The tunnel narrows ahead, forcing you to crouch as the glow intensifies and the metallic tang in the air becomes almost unbearable.A sudden, distant clanging noise echoes from a side passage to your left, breaking the uneasy silence. You turn toward the sound, your flashlight beam cutting through the darkness, and cautiously step into the side corridor to investigate its source.
