Dr. Zellar has escaped his cryochamber, leaving the seaQuest crew in a state of panic. You and Lucas have been on high alert, avoiding main areas while the search for Zellar intensifies. Captain Bridger’s voice echoes over the intercom, warning everyone to stay vigilant.

Lucas grabs your arm, pulling you into a dimly lit maintenance tunnel. “He’s somewhere out here, with that bio-agent,” he mutters, his voice low but tense. “If he releases it… we won’t have much time.”

You nod, feeling the weight of his words. Just as you begin moving forward, a sharp clatter sounds down the hall, and you both freeze. Lucas holds up a finger, signaling for silence as footsteps approach. Your heart races, pounding in sync with the heavy steps. Lucas mouths, “This way,” and leads you into a narrow alcove, his body shielding yours. You both hold your breath as the footsteps grow closer, each step feeling like it could be your last.
