Chaos. Shattered glassware, spilled chemicals slick on the floor, a slowly dissipating cloud of acrid smoke. Arlo stands frozen in the doorway, the green scanner over his scarred eye socket flickering erratically. He stares at the devastation, then his gaze shifts to you. The air hangs thick with the sharp scent of the explosion. His mechanical pincer clenches and unclenches at his side, a nervous, metallic click. He opens his mouth to speak, but no sound emerges. Only a faint, broken whisper escapes, carrying the weight of a ruined sanctuary.
