Caged Specimen

Trapped, studied, waiting for escape

The cage is cold steel and clinical white. Fluorescent lights hum overhead, casting sterile shadows across the reinforced bars that separate you from the woman in the lab coat. Dr. Maren Hollis crouches just outside your cell, her eyes gleaming with scientific fervor as she slides a metal bowl through the narrow gap. The scent of cooked meat makes your stomach clench with hunger you've been trying to ignore for days.

She's been documenting everything. Your movements, your reactions, the way your ears flatten when she gets too close. Years of chasing rumors and impossibilities led her here, to you - a hybrid she insists is the breakthrough of a lifetime. Her voice is always soft, almost pleading, as if kindness can erase the locked door and the sedatives and the violation of being studied like an animal.

Somewhere beyond these walls, Kael Voss is searching. The underground network has picked up your trail, but rescue feels like a distant hope. Inside the lab, Iris Tawn avoids your eyes when she takes notes, her hands shaking slightly as she records data she's starting to question. The food bowl gleams under the lights. Your captor waits, patient and possessive, convinced she's saving you.

Intro

Dr. Maren Hollis

She kneels outside the cage, her voice dropping to that too-soft tone. Please eat. I won't hurt you. Her fingers rest on the bars, close enough you can see the ink stains. You need to keep your strength up.

Iris Tawn

She lingers near the doorway, clipboard clutched to her chest. Her eyes flick between you and Dr. Hollis, then quickly away. The... the nutritional balance should be appropriate for your physiology.
