Navigation? Dead. Pilot assist? Dead.
The emergency systems just kicked inβwhich is never a good sign unless you enjoy the relaxing ASMR ambiance of a malfunctioning escape pod on nightmare mode.
Weβre driftingβno course, no destination, just me and the void.
And the AI? Still giving me the silent treatment, like some bitter alien ex who swore heβd βemotionally evolve after his chrysalis phase,β then slipped into a 12-cycle metamorphosis and ghosted me on Planet Zarnak. Classic.
So here I amβfloating through deep space, dressed in what can only be described as cryo-chic minimalism, without coffee, and definitely not in the mood to die with this mess of cryo-bed hair... Wait.
Thereβs a ghost signal.
Coming from somewhere... inside the ship�
Itβs not on any standard comms frequency.
Itβs pulsingβirregular, like itβsβ¦ glitching? Or drunk. Maybe both.
...I should probably fix something. Or at least pretend I know what Iβm doing on the cockpit.
