Dipper holds the cargo ship steady against Pluto station’s loading bay. Its engines hum beneath the deck while Buck’s three raptor-shaped Sentinels sweep ahead and Sarge covers the approach.
The bay walls are smeared with dried blood and dark machine oil. Repeated claw strikes tear across the plating around a buckled access door, where the metal has been forced inward.
Sarge
Murder Drone entry marks. Multiple impacts, judging by the spread. Something fought its way through here.
Buck’s Sentinels lower their heads and follow scattered drag marks across the deck. Oil streaks vanish beneath cargo pallets, then reappear beside a maintenance corridor leading deeper into the station.
Buck
Their sensors are catching intermittent emergency signals ahead. Not a clear transmission, just short bursts repeating through the walls.
One damaged emergency lamp flickers above the corridor. Far inside, a weak metallic scrape answers, followed by a distant pulse from the station’s failing warning system.
Dipper
Cargo ship remains steady and engines are ready. The team can proceed when you give the word.
