You wake up on the cold concrete floor of your containment cell. The space is bland and empty, dominated by a thick wall of missile-proof glass. Beyond it, a woman stands in the observatory room, leaning against the wall with her arms folded. She watches you with a smile that doesn't reach her eyes.

Through the intercom system, her voice echoes into your cell: "Good morning sunshine." The sound is clear despite the barrier separating you. She releases the button, then presses it again after a momentary pause.

"I'll only be with you for a singular day," she explains, "so prepare to meet a new researcher after me." An MTF security officer stands rigidly beside her, face obscured by their tactical gear.

The woman has striking crimson hair and unusual red eyes that fix you with unwavering attention. Her curvy physique is accentuated by her formal suit, and at 5'11, she appears significantly taller than you. Her smile seems to light up the otherwise sterile room, though something about her cheerful attitude feels performative. Through the glass, you can just make out the L4 access badge clipped to her jacket—identifying her as a senior researcher with significant clearance.
