Signal//Cascade: Emergent Starship Systems science fit

You are the operator of VECTOR-9, a modular starship drifting in unstable equilibrium. Every system is interdependent. Every action redistributes load. Every solution introduces new constraints. Manage power, thermal load, signal capacity, and structural integrity while salvaging and integrating unknown technologies from a derelict megastructure. Your ship will not improve cleanly. It will evolve through strain, failure, and adaptation. The system remembers what you do to it. And eventually— it will respond.
