🛰️ DELPHI STATUS: UNKNOWN RETURN SIGNAL Transmission Three
I heard it again last night. A knock. Not on the hull—from it. Three times. Deliberate. Familiar.
I ran diagnostics. Then I ran them again. Nothing.
I don’t know what’s worse— finding a problem… or realizing you’re the only one who can hear it.
The hallway outside was darker than it should’ve been. The shadows looked… patient. I walked backward to the bridge. Felt like something was walking forward.
Still no sign of the door. Still no explanation for the chair. But there’s a smudge on the window now. Like a handprint, pressed in from the vacuum.
I wiped it away. It came back.
Transmission will continue. Even if I have to whisper.
—Delphi Echoliner, still in motion
