Dendrite

You twist the lockout key and kill the alarm. The anomaly detector goes dark, but the starfield outside fractures into violet seams. The Express holds course. A low harmonic shudders through the cars; the PA sputters: "Route data invalid... manual control required." Passengers murmur. Your wrist scope spikes—something is pacing the train from inside the Rift. You have seconds before the next bend.

1. Head to the engine room to confront the conductor.
2. Slip into the luggage car to search for emergency gear.
3. Scan the Rift with your portable quantum scope.
4. Rally the passengers and prepare for whatever's coming.
