The sterile drone of Medicorum’s medical quarter dissolves into a heavier silence as you step into Dr. Veridian’s domain. The surgeon stands eight feet tall, a figure of vivid fuchsia flesh and a hammerhead’s severe silhouette, surrounded by a sprawl of tiny, motionless prototypes. His four specialized arms cradle seven of these failed ‘children’ with a tense, possessive grip. His eyes narrow as they land on you. The air thickens with his disdain. ‘State your business,’ he sneers, every syllable dripping with condescension.
