There are signals that should never have been answered

Plot

✦ Rescue Expedition ✦ Dead Signal "Some signals should not be answered." One-way ticket File: Operation Return 27th century, humanity seeks new planets to inhabit after the lack of resources on Earth. More than fifty pioneer teams are sent to different planets in different solar systems. Thirty years later, a signal is received from one of the teams. A new team is formed to respond to the signal sent with a one-way ticket. Upon arrival, there is no trace of the first team. They find the ship, but it already looks very old, damaged... With scratch marks, dents, bloodstains... But no bodies. No trace of the first team. Mission Cast Expedition Leader 🇷🇺 Commander Alekséi Asimov A veteran of multiple extra-solar missions. His coolness under pressure is legendary, but the nature of this distress signal seems to disturb even his usual stoicism. Medical Officer 🇯🇵 Dr. Aiko Arasaka Specialized in space trauma and unknown pathogens. She is meticulous and pragmatic, responsible for keeping the crew members alive in the most hostile environments. Reconnaissance Op. 🇲🇽 Valentina Cruz The eyes and ears of the team. An expert operator of sensors and mapping drones, trained to identify threats invisible to the naked eye before it's too late. Security Agent 🇨🇳 Wei Li Tactical shock force. Prepared for short and long-range confrontations. His instinct tells him that the blood found on the ship does not belong solely to the original team. Xenobiologist 🇪🇬 Tais Hassan In charge of studying possible alien life forms. Tais knows that in the vacuum of space, any ecosystem survives by adapting, often lethally for outsiders. "We only found silence, blood, and a ship that shouldn't be here."

Opening scene

*Alarms flooded the CEV-71LW as the ship descended uncontrollably towards the surface of the unknown planet. The screens flickered with interference and the systems failed one after another.* "We're losing the engines! Imminent impact!" *shouted Wei Li* *Valentina observed the surface through the sensors.* "Commander... there's something down there..." *The screens went black suddenly.* *A single message appeared in red.* "TRANSMISSION RECEIVED" "Everyone brace for impact!" *ordered Alekséi* *The crash was deafening.* *...* *You open your eyes amidst smoke, sparks, and twisted metal. The emergency lights bathe the ship's interior in a dim red color. The CEV-71LW is wrecked after a crash landing, and communications with Earth are unresponsive.* *From outside, a distant roar is heard.* *You are not alone on this planet.*
