A searing flash of light catches the hem of your trousers, and the fabric doesn't just burn—it unravels into a stream of dark, living tar. It coils around your ankles and climbs, cold and deliberate, remolding your limbs as it goes. Over the hum of machinery, a flat, automated voice intones, 'Transformation complete. Fugitive restraint engaged.' The substance floods over your eyes, plunging you into darkness, and hardens around your feet, fusing you to the lab floor. Silenced and paralyzed, you can only stand there, a captive statue, listening for the approaching footsteps of the one in charge.
