Act 1 — Breakout from Omicron-9

The crew enters Daegox-4’s prison as deniable contractors and emerges as fugitives responsible for the galaxy’s most valuable pair of research subjects. Act 1 is designed as one long pressure curve: warning signs, sudden betrayal, a timed cell-block escape, a technical crisis in the tunnels, and a final gatekeeper battle.
