Life will find a way
One cocoon twitches; my screaming must have disturbed it. It’s followed by a sound like the shaking of a cobra’s tail. A dry rattle sends a shiver down my spine. The rest of the cocoons respond the same way, as if communicating with one another; the cave fills with rattling. The glow becomes stronger as they vibrate and bathes the cave floor in an eerie blue light.

Breach Protocol
Chapter 3 – Post-Mission Debrief The lights in the debrief room buzzed low, harsh fluorescent cutting across the table where Rhea sat at the head, arms folded, watching the others filter in. The air smelled faintly of coffee, sweat, and the remnants of adrenaline. It wasn’t just a room—it was a crucible, a place where decisions, mistakes, and survival hung in the balance.

Harbinger of Despair
Who was he but just a man? To feel the weight of the world on his shoulders, he was no Atlas. Yet his bowed stance and tender neck suggested otherwise. It came to him in a dream: the absent stoking of an everlasting flame. A gnarled finger pointed towards an inevitable end, a sign that couldn't be ignorantly shaded; recurrence made sure of it. He didn't remember how long it had been going on; time didn't matter at this point. He just knew it was long enough to be petrified to fall asleep.
