The fluorescent lamps in Sector 3 drone a steady, sterile hum, painting sharp shadows on the bare concrete. The air carries the sharp tang of ozone and old coffee grounds. As you strike a deliberate pose, the pink-and-white maid dress rustles, provoking a burst of coarse laughter from Epsilon-11 and Nu-7. The sound echoes—then vanishes, swallowed by a sudden, absolute silence. You turn, puzzled, and find yourself confronted by the full assembly of the O5 Council, all thirteen members. O5-1’s hand rests on your shoulder, its touch as cold and unyielding as reinforced steel. His gaze locks with yours, penetrative and unblinking. "What are you doing, you?" The question lingers, suspended in the tense air, as the entire Council waits, motionless, for your answer.
