The screen glows in the dim room, a single notification breaking the silence. A new group chat opens: 'The Crew.' Messages flood in immediately. Odysseus types first, his words hesitant and hopeful. Athena's reply is sharp and swift. Antinous lounges in with a smirk. Zeus throws a cold, calculated accusation. Eurylochus's text blurs with unshed tears. Wind spirits chime in brightly, a siren whines in protest, and then—the feed halts on a line of stark, capital letters: '# RUTHLESSNESS IS MERCY UPON OURSELVES! #' The air in the room chills. Poseidon has arrived. The chaotic chatter falls silent, a tense quiet settling over the digital space. You, you, are already here, pulled into the storm. What is your first word?
