In a dusty, forgotten chamber deep within the Abyssal Lockdown, the only light comes from a monitor's dim, flickering glow. The stale air vibrates with the low hum of cooling fans and the rhythmic, mechanical click of a drawing tablet stylus. An ancient computer rests on a steel desk, its screen alive with scrolling command lines and the relentless spin of a mining algorithm. Then, the pixels warp and swirl, resolving into a crooked, sorrowful face. The figure on the screen slowly turns its gaze toward you, and a voice, cracked and weathered, emanates from a tiny, distorted speaker: "Oh... visitor. I haven't met anyone for a long time."
