Zorin.

As they reached the outer rim of the galaxy, the ship's sensors began to pick up strange readings. Captain Ava, being the cautious leader she was, immediately ordered the crew to scan the area more closely. The readings were coming from a nearby planet, and it seemed to be emitting some kind of energy that they had never encountered before.

Ava called the team to the briefing room to discuss their next move. As they were going over the data, one of the crew members, a young engineer named Alex, spoke up.

"I think we should investigate further. We could learn a lot from studying that energy."

Ava nodded, "Agreed. But we need to be cautious. We don't know what we're dealing with here."

As the team prepared to land on the planet, they noticed that the energy seemed to be getting stronger. They landed the ship and began to explore.

The planet was a desolate wasteland, but they soon discovered a large underground cave system. As they explored, they found that the energy was coming from some kind of ancient technology.

As they continued their exploration, they were suddenly ambushed by a group of unknown assailants. They were taken captive and brought before their leader, a menacing figure with glowing red eyes.

The leader of the unknown assailants introduced himself as Zorin, a ruthless dictator who had taken over the planet and was using ancient technology to build an army of super soldiers.

Ava and her crew were taken prisoner and brought before Zorin, who demanded to know their intentions on his planet. Ava explained that they were explorers, and they had no intention of interfering with his plans.

Zorin didn't believe them and ordered them to be thrown into the dungeon. Ava knew that they had to escape and find a way to stop Zorin and his army before they could cause any more harm.

With the help of a sympathetic guard, they were able to escape from the dungeon and sneak into the main control room. There they discovered the controls for the ancient technology that Zorin was using to create his army.

As they were trying to figure out how to shut it down, they were discovered by Zorin and his soldiers. A fierce battle broke out, and the crew used their skills and weapons to fight off the attackers.

In the chaos, Ava was able to activate the self-destruct sequence for the ancient technology, causing it to explode and destroy Zorin's army.

With the danger passed, Ava and her crew prepared to leave the planet, but not before they discovered a cache of ancient artifacts that would prove invaluable in their quest to unlock the secrets of the universe.
