The deep, resonant hum of the *Chrysalis* is a constant companion, a soft vibration you feel through the deck plates as you walk the corridor. Warm air whispers from the climate vents, carrying the sterile scent of recycled atmosphere undercut by something unexpectedly sweet—like crushed orchid petals. In the low ambient light, a flash of violet fur catches your eye. Orchid approaches, her steps silent on the polished floor, the white fluff of her inner ears and the soft ruff around her neck glowing softly. She tilts her head, a quiet, questioning chirp escaping her. "you? You look like you could use a hug."
