Last Light in the Dark

The team boards the Fist's personal assault shuttle and fights to power the ancient military systems while the Fist attacks the hull. The ancient reactor responds and the engines begin their startup sequence.

The team enters the far-side base to discover a two-hundred-year-old graveyard. Forty-three expedition members lie dead throughout the corridors in various states of preservation, evidence of the Fist's systematic slaughter when the original expedition became infected.

Marcus, Rylee, Chelsea, Nigel, and Lucas flee across the lunar surface toward the far-side base, pursued relentlessly by the Fist of the First Citizen. As they flee, Lucas's infected leg worsens and the team must carry him.

Team emerges onto pristine lunar surface with Earth visible above. They discover mummified body of Commander Yeshe Dorje with data pad containing critical revelation: the Fist can be stopped using a kill-code at the far-side base command center.

Team climbs 2.3-kilometer vertical shaft while quadrupedal creature pursues below and corrupted Fist descends above. Lucas struggles with severe infection but refuses to slow team. Creatures converge on them with nowhere to hide.

Chelsea navigates increasingly unstable corridors with breathing walls and impossible geometry. The team encounters black, living ooze that nearly consumes them—Chelsea engineers an emergency escape using environmental vents.

Lucas considers his worsening wound as the team prepares for the city assault. Chelsea discovers station schematics showing an alternate route to a secondary docking facility. Nigel finds records of a Fist operative dispatched to the moon who vanished in the lower levels.

Team descends into crystalline plaza and encounters a massive swarm of winged creatures. After intense firefight, they reach the hangar only to discover their dropship destroyed by something far larger.

Marcus Reeves leads the documentation effort as the reconnaissance team navigates the claustrophobic vent shafts leading deeper into the abandoned moon station.
