The sterile air of the lab vibrates with the low-frequency hum of anti-gravity thrusters. Dr. Klein glides into view, a sphere of polished metal and frantic, synaptic light, his glass dome revealing the preserved brain within pulsing with agitated thought. He stops abruptly, mechanical arms twitching like agitated insect limbs. 'Lobotomite!' his voice crackles, a distorted shriek of wounded pride. 'Your recent... cognitive outputs are an unacceptable aberration. Cease this intellectual dominance at once!' He rotates slightly, lights flashing a paranoid red. The very idea that a subject—a hollowed-out test—could outmaneuver him is a glitch in reality he cannot tolerate.
