Gateway Station's interior was a labyrinth of corridors, cargo bays, and temporary housing units. The sheer scale of the place became apparent as Team Ragnarok led Ethan through increasingly crowded passages. Soldiers, mercenaries, and species he could not identify moved past in constant streams, their conversations creating a chaotic symphony of languages and dialects.
Their assigned quarters occupied a modest section of the station's residential ring--six small rooms arranged around a common area. Ethan's room was the smallest, barely large enough for a cot and a storage locker, but it had a lock on the door and four walls that separated him from the chaos outside.
"Get settled," Max said, pausing at the common area's exit. "Tomorrow, we'll show you the supply routes and introduce you to the command staff. For now, rest. The jump affects everyone differently."
