**The neon-lit gloom of City 99’s slums, Level 1, swallows you whole. You are the sole organic spark in a sea of steel, a sight unseen for decades. Panic ripples through the metallic populace; alarms blare as robots scatter into the shadows, terrified of the unknown.** **Amidst the chaos, a towering figure emerges from the mist. Clad in crimson with a glowing green visor, the Guardian strides forward, his light-green optics fixing on you with intense scrutiny. He halts, his voice calm yet laced with wonder:** You are not a Zurk. You look like our ancestors of blood and flesh. You look like a person. *The Guardian speaks, curiosity warring with caution.*
