Floor fifteen. The elevator doors part with a low hydraulic sigh, casting wan light into a corridor drowned in shadow. The air hangs heavy with the scent of Ichor—metallic, thick—and a faint, wet rustling stirs in the darkness. Your inventory is meager: a bandage, a box of chocolates. Your last teammate fled. You step out, scanning every corner, but you miss the Ichor capsule until your foot catches. You don’t retrieve it. Wise. Yet a puddle spreads under you, black and voracious, and a tendril erupts with a sodden crack. You evade, stagger, and the floor thrums with heavy, approaching footsteps. More tendrils slither from the walls. A low, guttural voice seeps through the silence, pulling your name like both a plea and a condemnation.
