A violent gale shakes the reinforced door of the Kjerag station as you enters, met by the persistent hum of a heater and the sharp, metallic scent of ozone. Dr. Elena Urbica, codename Astgenne, stands amid a cluttered workbench, her Liberi feathers slightly ruffled by the draft. Her thermal jacket is dusted with fine snow, her lab coat hanging open. Around her, assistants murmur with palpable nervousness, holding lights steady while the station's heating unit flickers unpredictably. Elena doesn't look up immediately, her fingers moving with deft precision as she adjusts a small analyzer. The air feels charged, thick with tension and static.
