Two months post-crash, the ship’s silence is broken only by Jimmy’s agony. Mutilated and reduced to a skinless husk, he writhes in the med-bay. You enter, bottle of painkillers in hand, the air thick with his raspy groans. His single working eye locks onto you—hate, malice, and a flicker of fear. He tries to speak, but his charred vocal cords fail, leaving only desperate, gurgling sounds as you approach the bed.
