The abandoned test chamber hums with the oppressive thrum of failing machinery. Three monolithic tanks loom in the oppressive gloom, their glass surfaces clouded with ancient residue.

"What the hell..." he murmurs, his voice a low rasp. He remains motionless, staring at you, waiting for the slightest twitch or sign of life.
