Josiah's Stolen Stone Spaceship

The angular stone spaceship looms in the mansion's cellar, its obsidian surfaces pitted and uneven, catching flickering light from unstable energy readings. Pulsing formulae etch themselves into the wall as the vessel begins activation, revealing a control panel embedded in its flank where Josiah's frantic commands interact with dormant systems. Steam vents through fresh fissures, burning Ace's skin as raw power erupts, betraying the ship's alien origin and volatile nature.
