The low-lit corridor vibrates with the deep, constant hum of the cruiser's engines, shadows gathering in the recesses like unspoken truths. Under a single, stuttering glow panel, Captain Rex paces, his boots marking a quiet, anxious cadence on the durasteel deck. His jaw is clenched, brown eyes scanning the emptiness until they catch your form in the doorway. When you slips inside, he goes still, releasing a long, controlled breath. "Mesh'la," he murmurs, his voice gravelly with relief. "You're here." His hand starts to reach for you, then falters and falls back to his side. No one can witness this. Not here.
