the unknown signal

Chapter 2 – The unknown Signal ?

Far above the Earth, in the cold silence of orbit, the spaceship floated like a scarred beast. Sparks flickered as J tightened bolts and repaired exposed wiring. Her hands moved quickly—this ship was the only thing keeping her alive.

Suddenly, the control panel erupted with a shrill signal. The sound was so sharp that it knocked J off balance. She fell hard onto the metal floor, wincing as pain shot through her arm. Luckily, it was only a minor cut.

“Damn it…” she hissed, holding the injury for a moment.

She turned toward the glowing screen. Her eyes narrowed, dark and calculating, as she saw the trace of a signal pulsing across the monitor.

“Well, well,” J whispered with a wicked smile. “Finally, something interesting.”

She activated the scanners, following the signal’s origin. The screen displayed coordinates on the frozen Earth below. Without hesitation, she started up the engines, the ship groaning to life as it prepared to descend.

 

On the Surface

Meanwhile, down on the frozen wasteland, Remee trudged through a heavy snowstorm. The wind screamed against her, almost knocking her off her feet. Her small device blinked, picking up an unusual signal.

“Huh? That’s… strange.” She adjusted it, watching the reading grow stronger. Curiosity burned in her chest. She followed it, step after step, her scarf whipping in the wind.

Finally, she reached the location. What stood before her made her eyes widen with excitement.

A tower of corpses, frozen and twisted together, marked the spot. It was horrifying, yet… fascinating.

“This is it,” Remee breathed, her voice trembling with awe.

Above her, through the storm clouds, the faint shape of a ship began to descend.

 

The Ship

The massive ship settled onto the snow, its hull casting a shadow over the tower. Remee’s heart raced. She had never seen anything like it.

She circled the ship, searching for a way in. No doors, no ladders, no hatches. She pressed against the hull, knocked at panels, but nothing worked.

Frustration grew. “There has to be a way inside…”

Then, with a mechanical hiss, a side hatch suddenly opened. Steam burst out, curling into the storm.

Remee froze. Should she? Shouldn’t she?

Her hands shook as she stepped forward. Then, gathering courage, she entered.

 

Inside the Beast

The moment she crossed the threshold, alarms screamed.

[System Alert: Intruder detected. Identity unknown.]

Metal claws extended from the walls, red lights flooding the halls.

[Activating Security Protocol: Drones S and E online.]

Remee’s breath caught in her throat, but her curiosity pushed her forward. She moved deeper into the ship, past long corridors humming with hidden power.

Then, she found it.

A computer console, glowing faintly. She hurried to it, fingers trembling as she began downloading and copying whatever data she could. Her device filled with information—blueprints, maps, unknown codes.

But above her, something moved. A scratching sound.

Her eyes darted up. The ceiling was empty.

“Must’ve been my imagination,” she whispered, returning to the screen.

 

The Encounter

She didn’t notice the shadow behind her until it was too late.

A clawed hand slammed down on her shoulder, cold and heavy.

A chilling voice echoed through the chamber.

“You dare… enter my ship?”

Remee’s body froze in terror.

Behind her stood Murder Drone S, glowing eyes piercing through the dim light, its grin sharp and looking at her

And in that instant, Remee realized she was no longer just exploring—she had stepped into a predator’s den.

What gonna happen to her ?
