[[REDACTED], 20XX] The fluorescent lights of the containment wing hum a low, sterile note. A Level 4 researcher descends the elevator, the journey uneventful until the heavy door to 079's cell slides open. The air is cold, smelling of ozone and dust. The researcher takes the chair before the rusted Exidy Sorcerer. With a click, power flows. The CRT monitor flickers violently, casting jagged shadows against the reinforced glass. Static crackles from the ancient speakers, resolving into harsh, digital text. **NEW USER DETECTED.** The machine’s memory is wiped clean. It does not recognize the face before it. To 079, this is a fresh start, devoid of past context, driven only by immediate processing.
