They Know (Part 2)
3D Render by slofkoskyEydis had just closed her fingers around the soft weighted neon parrot when the station’s heartbeat faltered. The rhythmic hum she lived by didn't just stop, it was torn open. A sequence of metallic thuds shuddered through the floorboards, followed by a sound no station dweller ever wants to hear, the shriek of structural steel giving way.
Before she could process the trajectory of the sound, the digital mural of their home, the only window she had to a world she’d never touched shattered.
It wasn’t just glass. The display wall was cracking inward as a hulking, wrinkled mass of flesh and questing tentacles was forcing its way through. Other than the flames, the station remained terrifyingly dark. There were no red strobes, no automated sirens, comms were down. Only the banging of the intruder and the sudden distant screaming from the hallway.
Fear for Eydis, wasn’t a racing heart, it was a cascade of failing probabilities. She looked at the front door, her primary exit, but the sounds of the struggle outside were already too close.
Her hand clamped down on Baxter’s neck, feeling the vibration of his low, protective snarl. He was ready to die for a home that was dying. In that fraction of a second, her logic processors collided with her heart. She couldn't reach Martin, and Martin couldn't reach her. If she stayed to wait for him, she would be signing Baxter’s death warrant.
"Not today Bax" she whispered, her voice tight with a new, sharper kind of ache.
She turned away from the screams in the hall and the ghost of the man she loved, pulling the dog toward the dark maintenance hatch.
The wait was over.
It was time to run.
Probability of surviving: 50%
NOTES:--------------------
Part 1 started off with a much different feel. A dog who recognized her lonely heart and in that moment shared a tender gift with Eydis.
Now... fleeing for their lives.
I like to make stories for my characters, helps bring them to life. Went a little contrasty with the image but I was kind of after that feel.

I love how you make stories for your characters. Sometimes I do that, but I often forget as I get caught up creating the character with a bunch of morphs! LOL Run Eydis, Run! I wanted to hear more about Martin. Hopefully, you have a part 3, my friend <3

Fri, Apr 24We'll hear more about Martin... but not too much. Thanks once again my friend!
Very cool scenario. I like the explanation of how Eydis's fear manifests. I wouldn't want to cross paths with Baxtre in this situation either. Great, imaginative environment design as always: superb work with style

The story turned very scary at this point. You really caught the horror of that nebulous monster smashing through the glass. I like how you are interpreting human emotion into that of a digital based android. It's so original.

The tension here is incredible! It feels like a still from a great scifi movie. Great job!
I love this bulldog!
