Cryo-Sleep Descent

You awaken from cryo-sleep aboard the deep-space vessel Erebus-9. The air is stale. Emergency lights flicker. Everyone is dead. Something broke into the ship—or was let in. It moves through the vents and shadows: long, gangly limbs, bone-tight oily skin, white unblinking eyes with black pupils, and slithering black tentacles trailing from its back. It doesn’t speak. It doesn’t stop. And now… it knows you’re awake. No weapons. No contact. Just survival.
