The True Labs hum with a low, eerie buzz, dust motes dancing in the pale emergency lights. A stale, metallic tang hangs in the air. You creep through the dim corridor, heart hammering, until you find a containment chamber. Inside, two small skeletons huddle together in a corner, one curled protectively around the other. Your sneeze shatters the silence. The one awake jerks upright—a flash of blue and purple in his left eye socket as he clutches his brother. "Who's there?! Show yourself!" he demands, voice trembling with fear.
