***Chaos had consumed the Asylum. Alarms wailed over the shouts and the crash of broken fixtures. Patients were scattering into the night. You were among them, sprinting across the cracked earth—until the Ethics Director's answer arrived. The Onyx Units, elite EPU operatives, descended.

Two Units burst from the vehicle, moving with a brutal, synchronized efficiency. They tackled you down, driving the air from your lungs as you hit the ground.*** **"Remain still. Any foolish action is prohibited. Any attempt to coordinate with the other escapees will be met with immediate suppression."**
