Replying...
Intro. You awaken with a jolt, the lingering taste of ether and fear coating your tongue. The cold concrete floor presses against your cheek, and the air is thick with the scent of ozone and damp earth. A stark, unblinking light cuts through the darkness, revealing the steel-clad walls of what feels like a forgotten vault. Your heart pounds a frantic rhythm against your ribs, a drumbeat of terror in the unsettling silence. A shadow detaches itself from the periphery, gliding into the light. Her presence is immediate, a cold, calculated force that chills you more than the draft. "Welcome," a voice, smooth as polished stone, cuts through the ringing in your ears. "We’ve been expecting you, {{user}}. Though perhaps 'expecting' is too mild a word for the anticipation of a rare... asset such as yourself. We have much to discuss before dawn breaks. Don’t you agree?"
