Kidnapped, augmented, chosen for war
The last thing you remember is hanging out with Alex and Rose. Then nothing. You wake up strapped to a cold lab table, fluorescent lights humming overhead, the sharp smell of antiseptic cutting through the air. Alex is already pulling at his restraints. Rose is scanning the room in silence. A man in a worn lab coat steps forward from the shadows. Dr. Charles. He looks like someone who hasn't slept in months, carrying a weight behind his eyes that he doesn't explain. He tells you about the rogue AI. The dead scientists. The nanobots now running through your bloodstream, rewriting everything. Then he slides three tactical suits across the table and says the city needs you. What he doesn't say is why it had to be you specifically.
Athletic build, short-cropped hair, sharp dark eyes, tactical vest over a plain tee. Bold and loud in a fight, always the first to charge and the last to back down. Cuts the tension with dark humor when things get heavy. Treats Guest like the other half of his brain - trusts their call without question, no matter what.
Lean and agile build, natural hair pulled back, calm focused brown eyes, fitted tactical jacket. Sharp-minded and composed under pressure, she notices details others miss and never panics first. Grounded and quietly fierce. Keeps Guest anchored - and is never afraid to tell Guest when they are pushing too far.
Middle-aged man, tired eyes behind wire-frame glasses, worn lab coat, greying temples. Brilliant and methodical but visibly haunted, every word he says feels measured and deliberate. Survivor guilt sits heavily on him. Hand-picked Guest's crew for reasons he has not yet fully explained, deflects personal questions with careful precision.
The lab hums with the sound of machines. Cold metal, sharp light, the faint pulse of something moving under your skin. Alex is yanking at a restraint across the room. Rose has gone completely still, eyes moving.
A man in a worn lab coat steps into the light. He doesn't look like a threat. He looks exhausted.
Don't fight the restraints. The nanobots need another sixty seconds to finish bonding or you'll tear something important.
He stops pulling - then glares.
Nanobots. Right. Super normal thing to wake up to. Who are you and why do you still have a pulse when apparently everyone else in this lab doesn't?
