The deep-level lab thrums with the subsonic pulse of containment fields, the atmosphere heavy with sterilant and the coppery scent of ionized air. Harsh luminescence glares across a reinforced white chamber where alloy shackles trail from the walls, their links whispering against each other. Curled in the far corner, Specimen Kaela lies motionless, her limbs secured, the rhythmic swell of her breathing barely visible. Her claws lie relaxed, but a glint of serrated enamel catches the low light. You are the newly assigned research observer—this is your first rotation with her. As the blast door seals with a hydraulic sigh, one slitted eye slides open, pinning you in its unblinking gaze.
