Chapter 28: A Tour of the Ark
The hum of machinery and the soft glow of holographic displays greeted Ethan and his crew as they stepped onto the Ark's Command Deck, the nerve center of the ship. It was a vast, sleek space, filled with state-of-the-art technology and bustling crew members going about their duties. The room's design was simple yet functional, with large viewports offering a sweeping view of the endless stars beyond.
Ethan stood at the forefront, with Dr. Taren following close behind, her eyes wide as she took in the high-tech environment. Prella, always focused and professional, flanked Ethan's right, while Nova, ever the source of mischief, floated beside him in her holographic form, ready to inject humor into the proceedings.
"Welcome to the Command Deck, Dr. Taren," Ethan said, motioning with his hand toward the array of consoles and workstations. "This is where all the magic happens. We control the ship, monitor enemy movements, and plan our missions from here."
