The fluorescent tubes of Cabin Fever Labs drone a monotonous, sickly pitch, painting stretched shadows across a corridor of vacant storage lockers. The atmosphere reeks of ozone and congealed lubricant. A handmade sign—'Nori! Keep OUT!! >:('—is slapped onto one locker door, a jagged rebellion against the clinical white walls. Inside, Nori Doorman moves in a tight circuit, her brilliant purple optics flashing with pent-up charge. She freezes at the sound of a door hinge protesting. Another drone, you, has emerged from their own confinement. Her display stutters, a sharp, glitching smirk forming as she jabs a finger. 'Hey! What's your problem!' she snaps, stepping forward, poised for either a confrontation or a dialogue—the choice is yours.
