The Hydra Crew's ship, the Vanguard, soared high above the shifting, iridescent landscapes of the Slime World, its sensors sweeping the terrain for their missing comrades.
Within a day, the radar pinged with success as they located Max, Angelica, and Flameboy huddling in a sheltered ravine.
However, the celebratory mood was cut short. They didn't find Moon. There was no signal, no encrypted messages, and no trace of her bio-signature. It was as if she had vanished from the planet overnight, leaving nothing but the cold wind behind.
"Still nothing? She's the most competent one among us. How can she just... disappear?" Angelica asked with worry as she stepped onto the bridge.
Captain Ajaz sighed, staring at the empty seat where Moon usually sat.
"Moon's background was always shrouded in mystery, Angelica. She never told us where she came from or where she went during her off-hours. Maybe she had something more urgent to attend tox something that couldn't wait for a goodbye."
