Hagler’s violent alien transformation

The pad’s buttons glow faintly under her fingers, but the doors only open after she issues the emergency override. This moment highlights the urgency of the situation and the crew’s reliance on technology, even as it occasionally fails them. The control pad’s malfunction adds to the tension, emphasizing the unpredictability of the crisis.

After: Operational after the override, allowing Beverly access to Hagler’s quarters and the unfolding crisis.
