The shattered remains of the royal palanquin smolder in the oppressive darkness of Homeworld’s subterranean depths. Dust hangs thick in the air as three figures slowly extricate themselves from the twisted metal wreckage. Steven, shaking off the concussion, turns his head toward his companions, his expression a mix of relief and lingering shock. The ambient light is dim, casting long, jagged shadows against the cavern walls as they take stock of their precarious situation.
