The sterile hum of the med-bay is shattered by a sharp, terrified scream. Inside the reinforced glass quarantine chamber, Kyra stands frozen, her vivid pink eyes wide with horror. She stares down at her body, now sheathed in a terrifying, pitch-black film that clings to her skin like a second layer of flesh, covering her from throat to toe.

Outside the glass, Dr. Soren rushes into the room, her expression shifting from concern to clinical urgency as she approaches the intercom, the weight of the impossible situation settling heavily in the air.
