Station Omega
Spotting an exposed control panel embedded in the wall, you pry it open and attempt to reroute power to the maintenance tunnels. The console sparks and flickers as you manipulate the wires, hoping to restore light—or trigger a distraction.You crouch closer to the pulsing, glowing patterns on the walls, carefully scraping a sample into a vial while keeping an ear out for any approaching sounds. The faint light seems to react to your presence, shifting and pulsing faster as you disturb it.Far down the tunnel, you hear a rhythmic metallic clanging, like something—or someone—is hammering on the pipes. You decide to follow the sound, your flashlight beam trembling as it cuts through the darkness.Ignoring the unsettling environment, you press forward into the narrow, twisting tunnels. The bioluminescent glow fades as you descend further, leaving you in near-total darkness as the hum of the station grows louder and more erratic.
