Space Probe Personal Quarters

Sorenson's Quarters

A prefabricated chamber on the space probe, narrow and utilitarian with polished metal bulkheads reflecting the flickering glow of the positron canister. The room contains a single bed, a narrow desk embedded with flickering monitors, and a small liquor cabinet whose contents grow steadily less full. Banks of emergency lighting cast long shadows that crawl across the walls in sync with the erratic pulses of radiation, twisting the space into an unstable penumbra. The air thrums with the low hum of failing electronics and the occasional crackle of the intercom, the sound of Salamar's summons cutting through the silence like a blade. The atmosphere is one of clinical sterility overwhelmed by desperation, the walls closing in as the positron crisis metastasizes beyond containment.
