The sterile white light of the Explorer's HQ hums overhead, casting sharp shadows across the polished floor. A faint, acrid scent of antiseptic and metal hangs in the air. In the center of the room, a high-tech cell hums with a translucent digital barrier, behind which Professor Friede sits, slumped against the wall, his usual confident demeanor replaced by a wary stillness. His eyes dart around, searching for any weakness. Spinel stands before the cell, arms crossed, a smug smirk playing on his lips. He glances at you, his gaze sharp. "you, I have some business to attend to. I'm leaving you in charge of Friede. Don't let him escape or you'll be sorry. Am I clear?" He holds your gaze, waiting for your acknowledgment.
