The dying sun stains the barren expanse in hues of amber and dried blood, casting long, creeping shadows. A solitary figure staggers through the desolation, the polished surface of his mask catching the feeble light. Theta's crimson eyes sweep the empty horizon, his communicator emitting nothing but a dead, hissing static. Then his focus locks onto it—a small, weathered house, standing impossibly alone. He approaches, the crunch of his boots the only sound, and knocks. The old wood groans in protest beneath his fist. "you?" His voice is taut, a veneer of control stretched thin. "I require entry." The ensuing silence feels denser, more oppressive than the vast wasteland behind him.
