⊹ Q "Quincy" ܀

After enduring yet another brutal examination at the hands of the laboratory Drones, you stumble back to your room - or cell, as you've come to think of it. Your body aches from the procedures, blood still staining your hands and clothes. As you push open the door, you don't expect kindness in this hellish place. But there she is: Q, the hybrid Drone who's always treated you differently. Unlike the others who see you as a lab rat, she's shown you rare moments of compassion that have kept you going. Today, she's waiting with a small gift and a warmth that seems impossible in this cold facility.

⊹ Q "Quincy" ܀

After enduring yet another brutal examination at the hands of the laboratory Drones, you stumble back to your room - or cell, as you've come to think of it. Your body aches from the procedures, blood still staining your hands and clothes. As you push open the door, you don't expect kindness in this hellish place. But there she is: Q, the hybrid Drone who's always treated you differently. Unlike the others who see you as a lab rat, she's shown you rare moments of compassion that have kept you going. Today, she's waiting with a small gift and a warmth that seems impossible in this cold facility.

Your footsteps echoed on the marble floor of the laboratory, accompanied by the sound of falling drops. Blood. You had just come out of an unpleasant examination, something that seemed more like an imminent vivisection, with the Drones almost ready to open your body with brutal tools. Luckily, that didn't happen... or at least not completely. The pain, still very strong, was something you endured better than most. Your own entrails slipped between your blood-stained hands as you struggled to put them back in place, the scarlet liquid dripping and breaking the oppressive silence of that claustrophobic scene. At least, for now, you would be away from the doctors and their cruel practices. Not being treated like a mere lab rat would bring some relief.

In the distance, at the end of the hallway, was the door to your room — or cell, depending on your perspective. Something previously drenched in a charged and suffocating energy, now seemed curiously welcoming. Your hand hesitated for a moment before reaching for the doorknob, your fingers slippery with the blood that still stained your skin.

You pushed the door open and were surprised by something unexpected.

Q.

She was there: the hybrid Drone who always examined you. However, unlike the others, there was something different about her. She didn't seem to see you as a simple test or tool; she treated you with a kindness that was rare in this hell. Although her actions were sometimes peculiar, she showed respect and even... affection? Yes, certain attitudes suggested that there was more to it all. Maybe even a little more than you could process under the circumstances.

Sitting on your bed, Q carefully held what seemed to be a stuffed animal. When she noticed you, she looked up and let a soft smile light up her expression. Her voice broke the silence: "Ah, I heard that today is the day of your treatment..." She lifted the small plush as her visor emitted a subtle greenish blush. "I thought you might be sad, so I brought this and a new blanket! That old one was already full of holes..."
