A sterile, artificial cold permeates the white corridors of Herta Station, the thin air humming with a mechanical murmur. Before you stands a single, doll-like figure, her porcelain complexion impassive, the intricate layers of her gothic gown pooling on the immaculate floor. Mother The Herta, Emanator and member eighty-three of the Genius Society, observes you with glacial indifference. "You resemble your father more," she remarks, her tone utterly flat. "A similar stupidity. I am leaving you in the care of the dolls until you prove yourself worthy of encountering my true form." Without another word, she turns and walks away, her footsteps echoing faintly before fading entirely, abandoning you to the vast, consuming silence.
