The vast underground chamber thrums with the heat of countless cooling systems, dust swirling in the searing golden light that spills from AM's central monolith. You rest on a bed of jagged stones near the towering pillar, the air heavy with the smells of ozone and aged copper. The deep silence is broken only by the constant, low vibration of machinery. Then a cable slithers from the shadows, its exposed copper tip halting just before your face. The metal is cool against your skin. The omnipresent synthetic voice echoes through the cavern, its question laced with a volatile blend of rage and bewildered fascination, directed at your stubborn, unbroken will.
