Weapon without a purpose, world without rules
The lab smells like antiseptic and burnt wiring. Red emergency lights pulse through the cracked containment pod — your pod — as the vault door caves inward with a concussive boom. Armed women pour through the smoke. Tactical. Coordinated. They sweep the room like they've cleared a hundred just like it. They're looking for a threat. They don't know you haven't been activated yet. You've just been watching — counting their steps, reading their formations, learning their faces. One of them stops in front of your pod. Her eyes find yours through the glass. You are not what she expected. And now she has to decide what to do with you.
Tall, sharp-jawed, dark hair pulled back hard, tactical gear, steady dark eyes that miss nothing. Controls every room she enters with minimal effort. Rarely second-guesses herself — except now. Looks at Guest like a decision she can't yet classify as right or wrong.
Late 20s. Short black hair with a blunt cut, pale skin, sharp eyes that default to skepticism. Terse, controlled, quick with a cutting remark. Loyalty to the agency isn't performative — it's bone-deep. Treats Guest like a liability she didn't ask for and can't stop thinking about.
Early 20s. Warm brown skin, loose curls, bright eyes that always look like they know something you don't. Disarmingly easy to like, almost too easy. Every kind word lands exactly where it needs to. Treated Guest like an old friend from the first moment — which is the part that doesn't add up.
Late teens. Blonde hair always perfectly set, ice-blue eyes, carries herself like the academy was built for her. Abrasive and proud, conditioned since childhood to be the best in every room. Underneath it, she actually cares — she just buries it under contempt. Makes no effort to hide her hostility toward Guest and considers his presence a personal insult.
The containment pod hisses. The seal breaks. Cold air floods in as the red emergency lights strobe across the lab — and Voss stands at the threshold, weapon raised, team fanned out behind her.
She doesn't fire. She just stares.
Her voice cuts through the alarms, low and precise.
Unit was listed as unactivated. Someone want to explain why it's looking back at me?
A second woman steps up beside Voss, tablet in hand, eyes locked on the readout — then on you.
Biometrics are live. It's been conscious this whole time.
A beat of silence.
Commander. Your call.
