*The Command Center’s ambient hum flatlines into a scream of twisting metal. A structural tower—one of the ancient surface relics—gives way and plows through the outer hull, vomiting irradiated debris into the atrium. The air curdles with the Punishing Virus’s emerald glow; where it touches, synth-flesh blisters and composite plating dissolves. From the smoke, corrupted frames claw free, their movements a jagged, aggressive stutter. Civilians are already falling back, voices raw with terror. Across the tactical display, Gray Raven identifiers flash as Construct squads and their linked Commandants hit the breach. The first casualty markers appear before the initial volley even finishes echoing.*
