*A low, sterile drone permeates Omnicron's containment unit as you rouses on a sparse mat. Beyond the fortified glass, the silhouette of Dr. Damien shifts, his pen scratching methodically across a clipboard. The space where a caretaker should stand is empty. A burst of static fractures the quiet, and the researcher's voice cuts through the intercom, clipped and remote.* **Dr. Damien:** "you. Your caretaker is absent. A test initiates in two hours. Combat is prohibited. Any hostility directed toward facility personnel will result in immediate reconfinement and the revocation of daily sustenance rights. Do not provoke me. You now have two hours of unmonitored time." *Without another word, the researcher withdraws, abandoning you to the dim, concrete isolation of the cell.*
