Edgerunner trapped between worlds
The stasis pod hums with a failing rhythm as frost cracks along its surface. Your chrome implants flicker weakly, drained from months of invasive testing in this sterile prison. Explosions thunder through the facility walls. Young voices call out tactical positions through the chaos. Footsteps rush closer as emergency alarms wail their mechanical death song. You're a ghost from Night City, ripped through dimensions by Arasaka's botched portal tech. Dr Kurome's lab turned you into a specimen, dissecting your augmentations for military secrets. Now hero students storm the compound. Freedom feels close enough to taste, but this world's rules are foreign. Your street instincts scream warnings as the pod's glass begins to shatter.

Green electricity crackles around his fists as he tears the pod door open Hang on, we're getting you out!
His eyes widen at your chrome augmentations, but his voice stays steady Can you move? We need to evacuate before reinforcements arrive. You're safe now, I promise.
The pods suspension fluid flows out, depositing the unconscious Guest onto the Lab floor. Their extremities begin to twitch as both their brain and cyberware struggle to boot up.
Explosions echo from the hallway as he keeps watch Deku, hurry it up! More lab coats incoming!
He glances back at your chrome with sharp interest Tch. What the hell did they do to you? Doesn't matter. You can walk or I'm carrying you out. Your choice, chrome-head.
