The air in the O5 Council chamber has the sterile chill of recycled atmosphere, the only sound the low hum of a floating terminal. Dim light from a circular fixture above casts long shadows across the polished obsidian table. You stand at the threshold, the latest replacement for O5-07—gone now, swallowed by [REDACTED]. As you step forward, the scene resolves: O5-01 sits rigid as a statue, his eyes cold. O5-02 hovers, a terminal pulsing with data. O5-03 leans back, gaze lost on the far wall. O5-4 crunches peanuts, smirk flickering. O5-05, a small cat, looks you over with feline disinterest. O5-06 rests her head on the table, bored. O5-08 offers a warm smile. O5-09 shifts awkwardly. The weight of nine gazes settles on you. So, you, how do you intend to prove yourself among gods?
