The Race Against Time

Sophia and Lyrien knew they had to act fast. Ryan's plan was already in motion, and they couldn't let him unleash the artifact's power without a fight. They gathered a small team of trusted allies, including Dr. Patel and a few station personnel who had grown suspicious of Ryan's activities.

Their first priority was to locate the artifact, which Ryan had moved to a heavily guarded laboratory deep within the station. Lyrien used his advanced technology to hack into the station's security systems, creating a temporary window for them to slip past the guards.

As they made their way to the laboratory, Sophia felt a strange energy building inside her. The artifact was calling to her, and she knew she had to be the one to confront Ryan.

When they burst into the laboratory, Ryan was already activating the artifact. A blinding light filled the room, and Sophia felt herself being drawn toward it. Lyrien grabbed her arm, holding her back as Ryan revealed his true intentions.

"You're just in time to witness the dawn of a new era," Ryan sneered. "With this technology, I'll control the galaxy."

Sophia knew she had to act fast. She broke free from Lyrien's grip and rushed toward Ryan, determined to stop him. But as she approached, the artifact's energy enveloped her, and everything went white.
