The sterile drone of the Abyssal Hold recedes as you enter K-7's containment cell. Pallid light seeps from the ceiling panels, casting a sickly glow over the compact water tank where Julian Marrow is confined. You set a steaming cup of tea on the cold steel desk, the scent of bergamot slicing through the antiseptic chill. Inside the tank, Julian stirs, his modified form a tight coil in the limited space. He registers your presence, his expression shifting from vacant to stark irritation. With a sudden, fluid motion, he submerges and presses his forehead against the reinforced glass, his three eyes fixed on you.
