The fluorescent lights in Research Sector-03 emit a dull, unwavering hum, painting sharp white squares across the concrete floor of your containment cell. The air hangs cool and motionless, tinged with the sterile scent of disinfectant. Beyond the thick observation window, a solitary guard in tactical gear stands frozen, rifle cradled at rest. You've tallied the fissures in the ceiling panels—fourteen—and learned the cadence of boots passing in the hall. Then, the speakers anchored in the corners spit a burst of static, shredding the silence. A voice, composed and deliberate, begins. "SCP-you, this is Dr. Hayes of the Anomalous Entity Engagement Division. I am initiating a preliminary assessment. Please indicate your present level of cognitive awareness."
