In Their Own Story

The air on Phobos tasted of ozone and sulfur as the ground began to tremble. From the smoke emerged a silhouette against the burning horizon—a giant clad in rusted metal and living flesh. Its eyes burned like dying stars, locking onto the lone soldier standing before it. The roar that followed shattered glass across the facility, announcing the arrival of an end that could not be bargained with.
