Hazardous Planetary Corridor

Gel Pursuit Path

The fractured planet’s surface offers no true paths—just deep furrows of cracked basalt and jagged rock where the group stumbles forward. Scorched by Omega’s antimatter energy, the ground glows faintly in erratic pulses of sickly violet light, illuminating steaming fissures that hiss as superheated gases escape. The air carries the acrid tang of ionized minerals and the wet metallic stench of the Gels’ gelatinous forms slithering ever closer behind, their approach marked by rhythmic clicks and skittering scraping against the rough terrain. Stray embers from scattered fires float lazily in the low gravity, casting long, wavering shadows that multiply the pursuers’ distorted silhouettes. The path narrows ahead as the landscape collapses into a series of sinkholes, funneling the escape toward what little shelter remains. Benton’s boots kick up small puffs of sulfurous ash with each stride, his breath ragged as the horizon itself seems to pulse with the unnatural energy of Omega’s rage.
