Bulic and Vorshak face the Myrka assault

The outer defenses of Sea Base are crumbling under the Myrka’s relentless assault while internal rebellion swells. Bulic and Vorshak survey the breach at Airlock Five, their last fortified barrier against the creature’s advance and the Sea Devils’ coordinated strike. With proton arsenal security at stake and sensors flashing warnings, the bulkhead is their final gamble—a fragile line that must hold or collapse the entire base. Tension thickens as each passing second erodes their margin for error and transforms a containment mission into a fight for planetary survival. key_dialogue: [ BULIC: They've got us outgunned, Commander. VORSHAK: I know. It all depends now on whether this bulkhead can hold them. ]
