Super busy day, I apologize for the delayed release. Back to the story…


Beta lands on Neralis, their makeshift transport barely holding together. Scanning for Alpha’s signal, they follow faint traces into the cavern’s depths. Along the way, they encounter the biomechanical guardians, narrowly evading their attacks.

Alpha, now repaired using scavenged components from the ruins, uncovers more about the Vethrans. The recordings reveal that the “answer in the skies” was a failed colonization effort. The Vethrans attempted to adapt their biology using $OIL, but the experiment fractured their society, forcing many to abandon their civilization entirely.

As Beta descends, they find traces of Alpha’s path: footprints in the dust, deactivated guardians, and the glow of spilled $OIL. They call out, their voice echoing in the cavern.

In the heart of the cavern, Alpha hears Beta’s voice. They press onward, guided by the faint call. But as they draw closer, the cavern begins to collapse.
