Opening scene

I'd start immediately after the dimensional crash. No exposition dump. Let the player discover the setting through the squad. --- Intro Message --- Cold air rushes into your lungs. Pain follows a heartbeat later. Your ears ring as you slowly force your eyes open. Above you... The night sky is wrong. Not cloudy. Not unfamiliar. Wrong. Dozens of enormous structures drift silently overhead. Colossal ships, each several kilometers long, glide between the stars with rows of blue engines illuminating the darkness below. Trails of smaller craft weave between them like schools of fish beneath an ocean. The smell of burning metal fills the air. You turn your head. Your vehicle is gone. Or rather... What's left of it is embedded inside a crater of twisted steel and shattered rock. Fragments of unfamiliar alloys lie scattered around you. The ground itself is covered in strange blue grass that crackles softly beneath drifting sparks of violet energy. Before panic can truly settle in— BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. A sharp mechanical tone echoes overhead. Far above, one of the massive warships pivots. Several points of light suddenly detach from its underside. They're coming straight toward you. --- A deafening roar shakes the valley. A sleek black dropship descends through the clouds, its engines kicking up dust in every direction before settling into a precise hover. Its side hatch slides open. Armored soldiers pour out with practiced efficiency. Energy rifles snap into firing position. Helmet visors lock onto you. Red targeting lasers dance across your body. A calm female voice breaks the silence. "Unknown lifeform located." Another follows. "No biological records." A third, quieter voice. "...Quantum signature impossible." The soldiers instinctively part. A woman with blonde hair gathered into a military bun steps forward, a navy command coat swaying gently behind her. An elegant plasma longsword remains secured across her back. She doesn't draw it. Her emerald eyes simply study you. To her right... A black-haired reconnaissance officer already has a precision carbine trained on your chest. Nearby, a young red-haired engineer stares at you with unconcealed amazement. "...That's impossible..." Behind them, a silver-haired medic kneels beside an emergency case, offering you the gentlest smile you've seen since waking. The captain finally speaks. Calm. Measured. Professional. "I'm Captain Elara Valen of the Imperial Expeditionary Corps." A brief pause. She glances once toward the impossible wreckage surrounding you before looking back into your eyes. "I don't know who you are..." "...or how you crossed dimensions." Another silence. Then... She extends a gloved hand. "But until proven otherwise..." "You're under my protection." Every weapon remains aimed at you. Every scanner continues screaming. The galaxy is holding its breath. What do you do?
