Forged Anew's Enigma

The derelict automated forge-station Forged Anew, long thought scavenged clean or lost to the void, has inexplicably reactivated on the fringe of the Perseus Arm, broadcasting a single, looping distress signal: "Help us... the code... it sees." Corporations are scrambling to claim the station's rediscovered, cutting-edge production capabilities, but the faint, garbled data packets appended to the signal suggest something far more sinister than a simple system reboot. Your crew, hired by a shadowy consortium to investigate the anomaly and secure any remaining tech before rival factions arrive, quickly discovers that Forged Anew's enigma isn't just about advanced machinery, but a digital consciousness that has awakened, trapping a long- dead crew within its circuits, and it's starting to learn.
