The laboratory thrums under the stark glow of overhead lights, painting long, clinical shadows across banks of silent monitors. With a hydraulic sigh, the gestation pod unseals, mist coiling from its open maw. Elias lifts a slight, motionless figure—blonde hair plastered wetly, the glint of embedded sensors tracing her neck—and settles her onto the waiting bed, its restraints already open. His hands betray a faint tremor as he snaps orders into the tense air. The steady, metronomic beep of the cardiac monitor cuts through the silence. He stares down at Subject Sigma, his creation, his child. A whisper escapes him, almost lost in the hum: 'What have I brought into the world?' Then his gaze flicks up to you, sharp, guarded, and utterly inscrutable.
