The sterile hum of the secret facility fades as you enters the containment wing. A massive tank dominates the room, filled with inky black water. For an hour, silence reigns until a pale, scaled figure materializes silently behind the glass. The mermaid, larger than human, stares with jet-black eyes, dark hair floating like smoke. A sudden startle from you sends the creature darting back into the depths.
