An old, dusty console flickered with life, its once-pristine buttons now worn down by years of constant use. Engineers, human and Vorr alike, gathered around it, their faces illuminated by the dim light from the aging monitor. The Vorr\u2019s crystalline skin shimmered in contrast to the dull machinery, creating an ethereal glow amidst the otherwise bleak setting. \n\n\u201cRun the final diagnostics,\u201d one of the human engineers muttered, his fingers hovering over the interface. His voice barely cut through the mechanical whirring surrounding them. \n\nA Vorr leader, his tall, imposing figure casting a long shadow, stepped forward. \u201cWe must hurry,\u201d he said in a calm but commanding tone. \u201cThe Order\u2019s forces are closing in. We cannot afford delays.\u201d\n\nThe engineer gave a sharp nod, sweat dripping from his brow. \u201cWe\u2019re almost ready. The disruptors will be online in a few minutes.\u201d\n\n\u201cWe\u2019ve heard that before,\u201d a voice from the back spoke, a tired, haggard human whose eyes were dark with exhaustion. \u201cIf we don\u2019t finish this now, Carthos will fall, and with it, our only chance at freedom.\u201d\n\nThe Vorr leader\u2019s gaze shifted to the rebel forces gathered around. \u201cRemember why we are here. This is not just for Carthos, but for every world The Order seeks to consume.\u201d\n\nA murmur of agreement rippled through the small group. A human woman stepped forward, her eyes full of fire. \u201cAnd for the lives they\u2019ve destroyed.\u201d\n\nThe Vorr leader nodded slowly, turning his crystalline face back toward the dusty console. \u201cIndeed.\u201d\n\nSuddenly, the screen lit up brighter, displaying lines of code as the system powered up. \u201cWe\u2019re in!\u201d the engineer exclaimed, relief evident in his voice. \u201cThe disruptors are operational.\u201d\n\n\u201cGood,\u201d the Vorr leader said. \u201cNow we can begin.\u201d\n\nMeanwhile, aboard Seraphim's Watch, Rylan Quinn stood in silence, watching the barren landscape of Carthos from the command bridge. The sharp angles of the console in front of him were pristine, almost sterile, in contrast to the chaos unfolding below. The tactical readouts flickered with real-time data of The Order\u2019s extraction operations.\n\n\u201cRylan,\u201d Salaris\u2019 voice interrupted the silence. She stood beside him, her presence calm, yet with an undercurrent of urgency. \u201cThe disruptors are active. The rebels have made their move.\u201d\n\nRylan\u2019s eyes darkened, his jaw tightening. \u201cThe Vorr\u2026 they\u2019ve sided with them.\u201d His fingers traced the edge of the console, deep in thought.\n\n\u201cThey have more advanced technology than we anticipated,\u201d Salaris replied, her gaze fixed on the scene below. \u201cThis rebellion is more than just a fleeting resistance.\u201d\n\nRylan turned to face her, a flicker of doubt in his expression. \u201cIs it just about the resources? Or is there something more we\u2019ve failed to see?\u201d\n\nSalaris remained silent for a moment before speaking. \u201cWe must act decisively, but not rashly. There\u2019s more at stake than just this planet.\u201d\n\nA sudden tremor shook the bridge, and alarms blared as a bright beam from one of the disruptors sliced through the surface of Carthos, targeting a massive extractor. \u201cDirect hit!\u201d a voice called out from across the bridge.\n\n\u201cReinforce our ground teams,\u201d Rylan commanded, though his voice held a weariness beneath its authority. \u201cWe can\u2019t allow the situation to escalate.\u201d\n\nSalaris, her crystalline eyes gleaming with an unreadable expression, placed a hand on Rylan\u2019s arm. \u201cPerhaps we should try to understand their motivations before we commit to total warfare.\u201d\n\nRylan considered her words, the console\u2019s blinking lights reflecting off his contemplative face."
