The Astronaut’s breath hissed through their helmet as they staggered to the sealed hatch of the mother ship, adrenaline still burning through their veins. Behind them, the mangled remains of their adversaries littered the corridor, silent now—but the door ahead refused to yield. Its interface glowed cold and unfeeling, a labyrinth of overlapping mechanisms: rotating rings etched with alien symbols, holographic nodes pulsing in dissonant rhythms, and a central terminal demanding input in a language that flickered between mathematical precision and something unnervingly alive. This wasn’t just a lock—it was a gauntlet, a final test woven by minds that reveled in riddles. Each component hissed and whirred, taunting them. Solve one layer, and another mutated in response. Time bled away. Every failed sequence tightened the ship’s groaning hull, a reminder that survival here wasn’t earned by bullets or blades, but by outthinking whatever cruel intelligence had designed this crescendo of claws and code.
