A line infantry patrol crosses a glacial moon outpost to recalibrate sensor masts over unstable ice.

When subterranean organisms breach from below, energy fire only heats the crust, widens the fractures, and makes the attacks worse.

What begins as routine maintenance turns into a controlled withdrawal across sinkholes, tremors, and collapsing anchor points. The patrol has to reach K-17 before the glacier opens again.

This is "The Glacier Line" by Sascha Schmidt
