Jax's boots crunched over shattered hulls in the asteroid scrapyard, the air thick with metallic tang and the low whine of distant extractors. His breath fogged the cracked visor as he yanked a panel free, revealing a dormant fighter drone buried under centuries of debris.

The core pulsed blue. Jax jolted back, heart slamming, as a holographic eye snapped open. 'Pilot sync initiated,' it hummed, voice like grinding gears. Alarms blared colony-wide—raiders inbound, elite squadrons shredding defenses. Jax was nobody, just the yard rat scavenging parts to eat.

He laughed bitterly, wiping sweat-streaked grime. 'Wrong guy, rust-bucket.' But the drone's clamps seized his wrists, neural links prickling his skin with electric fire. Visions flooded: dogfights through nebulae, maneuvers no human could pull. The colony's beacons winked out one by one.

Jax's stomach twisted, memories surfacing unbidden—the crash that orphaned him, his parents' logs crackling over static: 'Hold the line, kid.' The drone released him. 'You carry their code,' it said. His hands shook as he climbed in, the cockpit molding cold around him like a second skin.

Thrusters ignited with a roar that rattled his bones, ozone scorching his nostrils. The viewscreen bloomed with raider swarms, their beams carving the void. Jax banked hard, instinct overriding fear, the drone whispering evasive patterns. A lucky shot grazed the wing—alarms screamed.

Deeper into the debris field they dove, raiders tailing like wolves. The core heated, glowing fierce. 'Reveal protocol,' it intoned. Jax glimpsed forbidden data: the drone was a prototype outlawed for outthinking fleets. But a massive carrier loomed ahead, its shadow swallowing stars. 'One chance,' Jax muttered, fingers white on controls. The core laughed—a glitchy, human sound—as they accelerated straight into the beast's maw.
