Silence on Kestrel-9
Research station Kestrel-9 hangs in orbit above a banded gas giant, silent for eleven days. Your shuttle is crippled and the station is your only hope. Fight past rogue drones, cross a vented section, find the beacon core, and relight the distress beacon.
Needs Games in Chat added once: how to add it.
Your shuttle limps into Kestrel-9's docking ring with failing engines and barely any air in the tanks. The station is dark and silent, and the crew is nowhere to be seen. Maintenance drones glide through the corridors with their warning lights stuck on red. The distress beacon on the command deck is dead, its core missing from its housing. Without it, no rescue ship will ever find you.
Your goal: Find the beacon core, carry it to the Command Deck and install it in the beacon. You lose if your HP reaches 0.
A curved white corridor lit by dim emergency strips. Your shuttle ticks and cools behind you. A lift leads up to the habitat deck, and a corridor runs toward the stores.
