The blaring of alarms ripped Y/N from sleep.
Her heart pounded as she sat up in her pod, the flashing red lights reflecting against the metal walls of their quarters. A cold dread settled in her chest, sinking deeper when she realized what the sound meant.
Something was wrong.
A few feet away, Shadow bolted upright in his own pod, already on high alert. His crimson eyes flickered to Y/N before darting to the door. His instincts kicked in instantly.
"Maria," he breathed.
Before Y/N could even respond, the door to their quarters burst open.

Shadow skidded to a stop at a crossroads in the corridor, chest rising and falling rapidly. "Maria. Where is she?"
Y/N's pulse roared in her ears. "We—we need to find her—"
They took off again, weaving through the chaos.

They turned a corner too sharply, nearly colliding into a group of fleeing scientists.
