The Eclipse cruised through the cosmos, its destination unknown even to its crew. Dr. Sinclair had received a distress signal from an uncharted sector of space, a region known for its mysterious disappearances and hostile environment.
Wil studied the coordinates on the map. "This place is a void. No known planets, no star systems. Just... emptiness."
Aralina leaned over his shoulder. "Emptiness or a perfect hiding place?"
Neil smirked. "Guess we'll find out soon enough."
Approaching the Void
As the ship neared the coordinates, the crew prepared for the unknown. The usual banter was replaced by a focused determination. Each team member ran through their routines, checking and double-checking their equipment.
Mary's voice came over the comms. "We're entering the sector now. Scans are picking up something... massive. But it's not natural."
