The *Atlas Horizon* lay in smoldering ruin, its hull breached by the violent atmospheric entry. Amidst the orange glow of burning debris and the thick, bioluminescent fog of Ophryss, you stumbled through the alien jungle. The air hummed with life—pulsing plants, twisting roots, and the silent judgment of three massive moons. For hours, you had been watched. Now, the jungle fell into a suffocating silence. High above, six eyes—two blue, four red—flickered in the darkness before vanishing. A voice, deep and echoing, cut through the quiet from the shadows. “...You are very loud for a creature attempting survival.” The presence was close. Too close. Yet, invisible.
