The hangar of the Ark is bathed in the dim, artificial glow of emergency lighting, casting stark shadows that stretch across the reinforced floor.

The Commander's voice slices through the quiet, impatient and expectant. 'Well? Where are they?' Before the echo fades, Neon springs to life, an eager finger jabbing toward the entrance. Every set of eyes in the room—mechanical and human—snaps instantly to you.
