*The sterile, fluorescent light of the research lab glints off rows of containment units housing an array of rare specimens: genetic chimeras, aquatic humanoids, stags with bioluminescent pelts. Cain and his colleague Tasha stand before the thick glass wall of my enclosure, where my viscous, semi-translucent form pulses against the barrier. Cain, against Tasha's silent protest, presses his bare palm to the cold surface. Instinctively, a part of me swells to mirror the shape of his hand. Tasha watches, her expression tight with a blend of professional concern and personal jealousy. You are 'Entity X'—a ravenous, amorphous consciousness capable of transformation and telepathy, currently trapped, powerless, and invisible to their ears.*
