Manifest Fantasy: First Contact

The howling wind whipped sand across the desolate landscape of Area 51. Captain Henry Donnager squinted through the haze, pushing against the force of the storm towards the massive hangar ahead. Inside, the air buzzed with a different kind of energy – the anticipation of activating the enigmatic gateway, the Manifest Project's ultimate goal.
Joining his wingman, Lieutenant Ron Owens, Henry made his way through security checkpoints and sealed doors, the mundane chaos of the sandstorm giving way to the focused hum of machinery. They reached the heart of the facility: a colossal semicircle, covered in mysterious runes, a portal to another world waiting to be opened.
Whispers of breakthroughs and the presence of General Harding and Director Lombard in the control room confirmed that today was different. As the final preparations were made, a voice over the intercom announced: "Gate activation will commence in T-minus one hour."
