The Kalden Expanse stretched before them—a vast, uncharted void speckled with dying stars and drifting debris. The research outposts were scattered like ghosts across the cosmic abyss.
Titan's ship slipped into orbit around the largest outpost, its systems eerily silent.
Lira's fingers danced across the console. "Communications are jammed, but I'm detecting faint energy signatures—similar to Voidborn activity."
Kaela scanned the perimeter. "And something else… these ruins nearby are emitting strange signals—ancient tech, but definitely not human."
Merek's voice was grim. "The Council might be harvesting this alien tech to fuel their experiments."
Titan's jaw tightened. "Then we find out what they're hiding—before it's too late."
As they prepared to descend, the shadows of the Expanse seemed to pulse with hidden threats—and secrets waiting to be uncovered.
