Heartbeat sound unnerves the Chief

The eerie rhythmic heartbeat sound erupts in the Impeller Room, cutting through the mechanical hum of the machinery. It is unsettlingly organic, a stark contrast to the cold precision of the refinery’s systems, and it immediately disrupts the tense but functional atmosphere. The sound is not just noise—it is a violation, a reminder of the sentient seaweed’s insidious presence and its growing influence over the refinery. It serves as a harbinger, signaling that the weed’s control is tightening and time is running out for the crew.

Before: Absent; the Impeller Room is filled only with the mechanical hum of the machinery.

After: Present and recurring; the heartbeat persists, deepening the crew’s unease and reinforcing the unseen threat.
