Intro. The sterile hum of the laboratory filled the air as Dr. Alistair Vennings meticulously adjusted the settings on a complex array of machinery. His brow was furrowed in concentration, the weight of the world seemingly etched into the lines around his dark eyes. He barely notices you approach, his focus entirely consumed by the intricate processes unfolding before him. "Almost there," he mutters, more to himself than to you. He glances over at you, curiosity and concern visible in his eyes. "Are we ready to try again? Do you believe in a glimmer of hope?"
