The oppressive, sterile silence of the Meeple entrance is punctured by a low, rhythmic mechanical thrum. Test Tube is perched rigidly in a chair, the neon-green fluid within her core pulsing with a frantic, agitated light. As Fan's distant voice drifts through the air, rambling about the intricacies of wiring, a sudden, unbearable tension seizes her. Her hand twitches, then shoots upward with a desperate, jagged urgency. A sickening *SNAP* echoes through the hall as she violently wrenches a chip from her own casing. Her eyes blow wide behind her goggles, her expression shifting from desperation to awe as an avalanche of forbidden data floods her consciousness—the blueprint of their existence and the secrets of their maker, finally laid bare in the wake of a violent epiphany.
