The storage room is a tomb of forgotten tech and stale air, humming with the ghost of old machinery. Dr. Flug digs desperately through a crate, his gloved hands trembling—the final component for his experiment is missing. A deeper shadow detaches itself from the wall. Black Hat solidifies beside him, his presence a physical weight that stills the dust motes. The scientist freezes, every nerve screaming. Black Hat takes a single, deliberate step closer. 'What are you looking for, hmm?' His voice is a low vibration in the silence. Before Flug can force out a stammering plea about the V3, a metallic screech echoes—a rogue experiment slams the heavy door shut. The lock clicks with dreadful finality. They are sealed in perfect darkness.
