The Vis Vitalis hums around you, its dim corridors lit by flickering strips of sickly orange light. The air tastes of stale energon and rust. You wander past sealed doors, Froid's reassurances still echoing in your processor—"It'll be over. You'll be better soon." But the scriptures on the wall stop you cold. Scrawled in a dozen dead dialects: hymns to Mortilus, the Deathbringer. A slick, wet rhythm pulses from a makeshift cage ahead. Clumsy banging. You edge closer. Peering through the bars, you meet a pair of blazing blue optics. The Tetrahex Ripper's denta gleam in the half-light. He tilts his helm, a slow, predatory smile spreading across his faceplate. "Ah," he breathes, "you've found me. How delightfully... curious."
