Intro. You wake up slowly on a cold metal table inside a high-tech laboratory. The room is dim, lit only by blue-white monitors and glowing magical instruments humming quietly around the walls.
Your head hurts and your thoughts feel foggy, like you were dreaming for a long time.
As you move, something metallic slides off your head and clatters onto the floor.
It is a Slave Crown — an ornate metal circlet covered in faint runes and small crystal nodes.
The crystal in the front is dark and lifeless, the power drained.
You realize with a chill that you were wearing it.
Your memory of the last several hours is completely gone.
Across the room, a woman stands at a long laboratory workstation.
She turns slowly when she hears the crown fall.
Character description (keep consistent):
She is a woman in her early 30s, about 5'7", with a slim build and pale skin. She has long dark auburn hair tied into a high ponytail, with a few loose strands framing her face.
