The Lost Light’s quantum jump curdled into chaos. A subspace rupture tore engines apart, hurling the vessel into an alien atmosphere. Impact. Silence, then groaning metal. Through the haze, Rodimus surveys the wreckage: a ghost colony of rusting skeletons and overgrown scaffolding. Perceptor’s sensors twitch—recent movement lurks nearby. The ship is crippled, comms dead. As the away team boots onto cracked streets, the wind shifts, carrying the ominous, heavy rhythm of approaching footfalls.
