The massive structure loomed before the Ark, its spires cutting into the void like jagged talons. The glowing lattice along its surface pulsed rhythmically, almost as if it were alive. Ethan stood on the bridge, his arms crossed as he studied the structure on the holographic display. Every instinct screamed that this place was dangerous, yet the allure of what secrets it might hold was undeniable.
"What do we know about it?" Ethan asked, breaking the tense silence.
Rethia's calm voice came through the comms. "The structure is ancient, likely predating anything we've encountered so far. It's radiating the same energy signature as the artifacts, but at a much higher frequency. The artifacts are resonating in sync with it, which suggests they're connected. Beyond that... it's a mystery."
Nova leaned back in her chair, her green eyes fixed on the structure. "So, it's either a treasure trove of knowledge or a deathtrap. Typical."
