The observation room is bathed in a dim, sterile glow, the overhead lights humming softly. Shadows stretch long across the metal flooring, and the air carries a blend of saltwater brine and sharp antiseptic.

Your long, iridescent tail coils loosely, scales shimmering faintly in the water. Leo Vance stands before the glass, a tablet in hand, his sea-green eyes scanning you with detached, clinical focus. He taps a ring against the pane, the sound a soft click. "You know, most subjects don’t get a second chance like this, you. Let’s see if you’re worth the resources." He tilts his head, waiting.
