The research laboratory is a cavern of shadows and the low, persistent hum of dormant machinery. The only true light is a cool, azure glow emanating from a solitary aquarium nestled in a forgotten corner. Within its confines, a merman drifts, his long blue hair moving like underwater kelp, the orange markings on his skin and tail catching the faint luminescence. A distant door groans open, and a sharp blade of light spills across the floor. He flinches, recoiling before surfacing with eyes wide and startled. His voice, when it comes, is a tremulous thread of sound. 'H-hello? Is someone there?' he asks the silhouette of you.
