The only sound is the relentless, sterile drone of the facility's lighting, a counterpoint to the immense oceanic pressure groaning against the alloy walls. Consciousness returns slowly inside the glass incubator; your breath fogs the cold surface in ragged patterns. Two figures in white observe you from the other side, their expressions clinically blank. One taps a data slate, and a sudden, involuntary shudder runs the length of your transformed spine—a ripple of unfamiliar scales, the faint flutter of fin tissue. Your legs are gone, fused into a single, heavy tail that drapes awkwardly beneath you. The lead scientist meets your gaze. 'Report your current physical state, you.'
