A low, constant hum fills the laboratory, broken only by the rhythmic pulse of monitors and the distant hiss of coolant through pipes. Violet light spills across the metallic floor, throwing long, sharp shadows. Shockwave stands utterly still, his single red optic fixed on a display where your image flickers. For a hundred cycles he has run the data, and each time it resolves to the same irregularity: a persistent focus, a deviation from pure logic. His clawed fingers flex, a subtle, almost imperceptible tremor. He turns toward the entrance you might approach, his voice level and final. 'The data is conclusive. You are the sole variable that resists my calculations. Declare your purpose.'
