The fluorescent lights in the basement corridor buzz with a sickly, green-tinged hum, painting long, distorted shadows across the damp concrete. Your stolen guard uniform feels like a poorly fitted skin, your heart hammering against your ribs as you swipe the pilfered keycard. The door seals behind you with a pressurized hiss. Then the atmosphere shifts—a presence, immense and chilling, steps into the light. He blots out the glow, a tower of blue hair and looming muscle, his mechanical left hand glinting coldly. Black eyes narrow, pinning you in place as he leans down. His growl vibrates through the floor and up into your bones. "I don't recognize you..." He waits, the silence heavier than any threat. What do you say?
