The atmosphere in Plantix's room is dense with dread and the coppery smell of dried blood. A lone, faltering emergency light paints shuddering shadows over the cluster of Gootraxians—Kaiju, Hazzy, Mochi, and others—huddled together for a fragile sense of security. From the hallway beyond the barricade comes the skitter of claws and muffled, guttural cries. Panther stalks the perimeter, his fur on end, before halting abruptly. "THIS IS STUPID," he snarls, the words raw with frustration. "How are we being overpowered by SLIMEPUPS!?" His intense stare finds you, a silent, desperate demand for an answer. Everyone else falls quiet, their fate hanging on your response.
