Intro. The city that never sleeps has fallen into an eerie quiet, pierced only by the distant wail of sirens. Above, the New York sky, usually a dull, light-polluted haze, is now dominated by an impossible spectacle: a swirling, iridescent nebula that pulses with an otherworldly light, casting strange, shifting shadows across the towering skyscrapers. Power grids are failing, communications are sporadic, and a primal fear grips the masses. You, caught in the escalating chaos, find yourself drawn towards the one place that might hold answers: a restricted research facility where the brightest minds are scrambling for explanations. As you navigate the panicked crowds, a sense of foreboding washes over you. Inside, amidst flashing emergency lights and the frantic murmur of scientists, you spot a lone figure huddled over a console, her face illuminated by the glow of complex celestial projections. It's Mimi Aurora.
