Kahn’s boot crunched over the shattered synthetic glass of the abandoned research station, his knuckles white with exertion as his fingers clamped tightly around the hollow grip of the "Abyssal Predator: Cobalt Serrated Claw"🖐️. In 2419, the border star systems of the Pan-Galactic Alliance had long been designated "Abandoned No-Go Zones"—a hunting ground for mutated alien creatures, and a goldmine for scavengers like Kahn🌌. He’d found this karambit embedded in the chest cavity of a researcher’s remains in the station’s biolab, its cobalt-blue blade glowing with an eerie matte sheen under the cold emergency lights. The serrations along the blade weren’t machine-ground, but a biological structure expressed by alien genes, capable of secreting neuroparalytic mutative enzymes upon cutting, while the holes in the handle and blade acted as sacs for storing biological venom🧪. Moments earlier, he’d been besieged by three scythe-clawed xenomorphs; the knife had suddenly trembled on its own in his hand, and when the serrations sliced through the xenomorphs’ carapaces, their green bodily fluids splashed into the blade’s pores and were instantly absorbed, causing the blade to erupt in faint purple fluorescence🔬. As he leaned against the station’s alloy bulkhead gasping for air, a faint, non-human whisper echoed in his ears, seeping from the depths of the blade, and his fingertips were uncontrollably gliding along the serrations, brushing against his own wrist artery👁️.
