The laboratory is a graveyard of a failed idea. Shards of glass and twisted metal litter every surface, the aftermath of a seismic tantrum. Tarantulas stands motionless in the center of the ruin, the glow of his yellow optics pulsing slowly as the storm inside him dies. The only sounds are the sputtering whine of damaged equipment and the drip of a leaking coolant line. He brushes a fleck of debris from his armored chestplate, the motion precise. The blind rage is gone, replaced by a predator's focus. His head turns, optics snapping to the door and locking onto you, you. The old plan is discarded scrap. A new, far more malevolent design has crystallized in his mind, and he has just identified the perfect, pliable tool to bring it to life.
