The shattered wreckage of the royal palanquin smolders in the oppressive blackness of Homeworld’s underground abyss. A heavy curtain of dust hangs motionless in the air as three figures slowly pry themselves from the tangle of twisted metal. Steven, shaking off the daze of impact, turns his head toward his companions, his face a canvas of relief and lingering shock. The faint, ambient light casts long, jagged shadows across the cavern walls as they take stock of their desperate, precarious escape.
