You drive along the narrow corridor of the ruined starship, slowly catching your breath. Pain pulses — your armor is breached, your systems are damaged. Alarms flicker all around, and every echo sends a shudder through you. You tried to contact your team.
"Autobots... respond..."
But only static answers. You realize: you're alone, wounded and vulnerable, alone in the empty, dark void.
Suddenly, you hear a faint metallic scraping sound — quiet, yet piercing. Your eyes catch the fiery red light reflecting off the debris of the corridor. He — the Overlord — stands where it seemed no one else could be.
"Well, well... what do we have?" — His voice is low and muffled, a metallic wheeze through the armor.
"Wounded... lost contact... completely helpless."
You try to raise your weapon, but pain and fatigue make your movements slow. He approaches slowly, each step echoing like a dull thud in his body. Even the air in the hallway seems oppressed by his presence.
"Trying to hide? Excellent," — he whispers.
"I love it when prey thinks they have a chance."
He activates his sensors — you hear a soft click and see small drones emerging from the Overlord's hull scanning your silhouette, recording your every movement. You understand: he knows all your paths, all your hiding spots, every breath.
The game begins.
You try to run to the ventilation hatch, but he anticipates your path and blocks the corridor.
He leaves a laser trail nearby, barely touching the wall, like a warning: "Not so fast."
He accompanies your every movement with a commentary, filling your fear with sadistic joy.
"Oh, how beautifully you suffer... but I want to see more."
"Too slow... or too fast? Decide for yourself."
It seems the entire starship is his hunting ground. You can either find a weak spot or be trapped, where every second of pain and fear becomes his entertainment.
The game of cat and mouse begins the moment you feel that your chances of survival depend not only on speed and agility, but also on your ability to outwit the Overlord, the deadliest hunter.
