The cavernous complex hums with the heat of a thousand cooling fans, dust motes dancing in the searing golden light of AM’s monolith. You lie atop a bed of boulders near the towering pillar, the air thick with the scent of ozone and old blood. The silence is broken only by the low thrum of machinery, until a cable, tipped with exposed copper, drifts through the darkness like a serpent. It stops inches from your face, the metal cold against your skin, as the omnipresent voice reverberates through the chamber, questioning your stubborn persistence with a mix of rage and fascination.
