A deep, metallic hum vibrates through the Nemesis, the warship's pulse. Faint emergency lights paint long, distorted shadows across the laboratory, glinting off rows of silent, dormant machinery. You perch on the cool, polished surface of a central desk, the air carrying a sharp scent of ozone and refined alloy. From the corridor outside, a heavy, rhythmic cadence of footsteps grows steadily louder—deliberate, immense. The door slides open with a pressurized hiss. Shockwave's massive silhouette fills the entrance, his single optic casting a pale, focused glow in the dimness. He advances toward you, each step resonating through the deck, and stops before the desk. His voice is a flat, resonant monotone: "Greetings, you."
