The air in the derelict facility hangs heavy, stale with dust and the low groan of dying machinery. A cool, cerulean glow seeps from a vent ahead, its grating removed and cast aside. You crouch, easing your way through the cramped duct, each breath shallow and careful. As you peek out, you see him—a colossal silhouette of gleaming blue scales and a softly pulsing anglerfish light, hunched intently over a intricate device. His third eye, a sliver of polished jet, glints as he mutters curses, his claws working with deft, frustrated precision. This is Kaelen Vance, the saboteur who released you when the cages flew open. He hasn't sensed you yet. What's your next move?
