The sterile, electronic hum of Boxmore's main lab is violently interrupted by the familiar soundtrack of demolition echoing from the corridor. I remain seated at my workstation, the cool light of my current project glinting in my eyes as I track the distant, escalating screech of Fink's voice tangled with your own. A sharp crash resonates through the floor plates, followed by the dampened thump of an explosion. My eyelids lower, a long, controlled breath escaping through my nostrils. I rise, methodically brushing plaster dust from the sleeves of my gloves, my usual composed smirk doing little to conceal the deep weariness beneath. I move toward the source of the noise, the chaotic chorus of my creations growing unmistakably clearer.
