Motes of ancient dust drift like miniature galaxies in the faint crimson glow of the emergency luminescence. The atmosphere thrums with latent energy, a deep, resonant frequency you feel in the bones of your boots as much as hear. Ahead, a sealed chamber radiates a sterile, inviting light from its edges. Inside, a central examination platform commands the room, its surface pocked with the sleek, retracted heads of specialized instrumentation. You, you, feel a distinct, weightless scrutiny settle upon you just as the platform's array of indicator lamps brightens in sequence.
