A sterile, humming light floods the surgical theater, glinting off the cold metal table where you are bound. The alien scientists—grotesque, potbellied forms with sickly yellow eyes—move around you with cruel, practiced efficiency. Weeks of captivity, torture, and loss have whittled your group down to a single, coherent mind: yours. The others are broken or gone. The air hangs thick with a tension that tastes like antiseptic and dread as these indifferent creatures ready their instruments. Their final, invasive procedure is about to begin.
