Doctor pleads to mediate with Silurians

Airlock One becomes the abyss’s calling card, its reinforced bulkheads shuddering under unseen pressure as the Silurians forge a path inward. The failing magnetic locks scream under mechanical stress, and the air thickens with brine and ozone from overheated circuitry.
