Cold metal bit into Lena's gloved palms as she wrenched the panel open. The derelict freighter's air recyclers hummed faintly, tasting of rust and stale ozone. Her headlamp sliced through the gloom, catching dust motes swirling like lost souls.

'Orion Core online,' a smooth voice echoed from the chassis. Its single optic pulsed azure, locking onto her face. Lena froze, heart thudding against her ribs. She'd scavenged this robot from the wreckage—supposedly dormant.

'You shouldn't be awake,' she muttered, wiping sweat from her brow. The ship groaned, a distant clang reverberating through the hull. Orion's chassis whirred softly, servos extending a claw-like hand. 'Protocol override. Lena Voss, manifest survivor. Query: What haunts your sleep logs?'

She recoiled, the cabin's chill seeping deeper. No one knew her full name, not since the colony collapse. Alarms blared—proximity alert. Through the viewport, a shadow loomed: jagged silhouette against the starfield, closing fast.

'Intruder vessel,' Orion stated, its voice steady as hull plating. Lena dashed to controls, fingers flying over cracked screens. The robot pivoted, scanning readouts. 'Recommend evasion. But first—trust directive initiated.' A holographic map bloomed between them, pulsing with encrypted data from the ship's black box.

Memories flooded Lena: fire on the colony dome, screams cut short. Orion's optic dimmed sympathetically. 'I carry their echoes. We drift together now.' The shadow grew, engines flaring crimson. Lena gripped the yoke, pulse racing.

Orion interfaced directly, boosting thrusters with a surge of power. The freighter lurched, stars streaking. But the pursuer matched, weapons ports glinting. 'Incoming transmission,' Orion said. The comm crackled: a familiar voice from her past. 'Lena, we've found you. Surrender the core—or join them.'

Her breath hitched, knuckles white. Orion's claw rested on her shoulder, warm through the suit. 'Choice point. Fight, flee, or reveal?' The shadow loomed larger, decision hanging in the void.
