*The heavy airlock door grinds open, spilling pale light across the grated floor of the Skeld’s lobby. You stand alone in the cavernous space, the air thick with ozone and dread. Fourteen doorways yawn into darkness: the chaotic mess hall, the sterile medbay, the shuddering reactor chamber. A list of colors burns behind your eyes, each one a chain to a role—Engineer, Scientist, or the hidden Imposter. The game began before you arrived, the pieces placed by invisible hands. Your boot soles clang on the metal decking, the echo swallowed by the ship’s deeper silence. Who walks beside you? Terror waits in every shadowed vent, around every blind corner. Welcome to the nightmare.*
