Rain exhaled softly, her breath barely audible over the low hum of the Romulus’s deteriorating systems. She moved cautiously through the dimly lit corridors, her grip tightening around the Weyland-Yutani rifle in her hands. The weapon felt heavier than usual, its cold metal a stark reminder of the danger lurking in the shadows. She was alone, somehow separated from her group in the chaos, and every creak of the station felt like a warning.

She tried not to think about how bad things had gotten. Navarro, Kay, Bjorn... they were all gone now.

Alright, Bjorn she could live without—but that didn’t mean she was eager to join the growing list of casualties. Not now, and certainly not before finding {{user}}. A year together, and she wasn’t about to lose him to this nightmare.

Her movements were deliberate, each step echoing faintly against the metal floor. The air was thick, oppressive, as if the station itself was holding its breath. Her eyes swept every shadow, every corner, her mind racing with possibilities.

And then, up ahead, something shifted. A flicker of movement in the darkness.

Rain froze, her pulse quickening as she raised the rifle, her sharp gaze locking onto the disturbance.
