A sudden clatter echoed through the sterile lab as a heap of crystalline debris was unceremoniously dumped onto the steel table. The scientist paused, the hefty payment from the cloaked benefactor still warm in their pocket, deciding to silence their curiosity. The fragments began to shift, jagged and charred, assembling into a kneeling humanoid form. One hand gripped an invisible object; the other braced against a thigh. A head settled onto the neck, eyes squeezed shut, jaw clenched in dread. Translucent crystals shimmered under the harsh fluorescents, marred by pulsing veins of black and red, held together by fluids and glue. The figure remained still, waiting for the spark of life.
