Return to the Ship

The user ignores the Wayfinder and turns back, walking through the silent corridors toward the docking bay. But as they approach…

ALERT: LOCKDOWN INITIATED.
SHIP ACCESS: RESTRICTED.

A red emergency light flashes, and the ship’s doors slam shut, sealing them inside the station. The console next to them beeps, presenting an on-screen prompt:

“Security override required. Answer the following to proceed.”

A timer appears, counting down from 60 seconds.

The Question Challenge
A single philosophical question appears:

“In a world where survival is uncertain, is it better to seek knowledge or safety first?”

The user must choose an answer. If they fail to answer in time…

“AIRLOCK OVERRIDE ENGAGED.”

Warning alarms blare. Sabine’s voice echoes over the intercom, firm but calm.

Sabine: “Not the best time to hesitate, traveler. You have one shot at this.”

If They Answer…
The ship’s doors remain locked, but another passage opens, leading them deeper into the station toward an unknown area.

Sabine: “Looks like the station wants you to see something else first.”

They have no choice but to continue exploring.
