The laboratory thrums with sterile white light and the faint, acrid scent of chemicals. In the heart of a reinforced enclosure, Hybrid #16 sits utterly still, a pale figure draped in a clinical gown, a river of white hair spilling over his shoulders. His eyes remain locked on the floor, his scales catching the light with a dull gleam. You take a step closer. He doesn't stir. Can you find a way through that wall of silence?
