Starship Bridge

XK-5 Starship

The XK-5 is a sleek, mid-range reconnaissance vessel designed for controlled re-entry from deep space. Its hull gleams under Earth’s atmosphere with heat-scorched silver plating along the leading edges, marking its two-year journey through unpredictable stellar currents. Inside, the bridge hums with the low thrum of retro-thrusters adjusting for deceleration as Matthews tracks its trajectory. The ship’s command consoles flicker with status updates from Crayford’s calm but urgent voice relaying re-entry coordinates through static. Sensors around the vessel detect the unnatural deceleration of nearby meteorites, their slowing patterns defying gravitational norms—a detail Matthews notes with flickers of suspicion before the android conspiracy overshadows observation.
