The Last Dawn of Aurora

Miles beneath the sun-baked slag of the ruined surface lies Aurora, humanity's vast subterranean refuge of iron tiers, bio-luminescent farms, and roaring thermal vents. For generations, the city has thrived in artificial twilight, powered by the immense geothermal heart at its core. But now, the lights are flickering, cold air leaks through the lower ventilation shafts, and the city council claims it is merely routine maintenance. You know the truth because you work the conduits. The cold is creeping inward, and the sudden power drops are no accident—someone is systematically draining the reactor's core. When a routine repair in the lower pumps reveals severed lines and stolen fuel cells, you are thrust into a race against a catastrophic freeze. With political factions vying for the remaining warm sectors and panic quietly taking root in the outer rings, you must navigate the shadows of the deep city. Uncover who is starving Aurora of its heat before the power grid dies completely and leaves thousands to freeze in the dark.
