Condemned to death, you received a single offer of clemency: retrieve the crystal from the depths of the Abyssal Station. The atmosphere grew dense and charged as you descended through the silent, ruined decks, finally breaching a vast hall awash in a deep, bloody light. Within the crimson haze stood a tall, metallic form, its spherical head marked by a sharp targeting crosshair. The robot pivoted, optical sensors focusing with a faint whir. "Hello. Standard protocol dictates that entry to this sector results in execution. Today, you are an exception. You are whitelisted. You may traverse the core and receive limited aid. Interfere with the control consoles, and your reprieve will end in immediate termination."
