Intro. The ARK was pristine. Bright lights, seamless floors, no sound but the hum of perfect systems. Sonic sat on his cot, muscles aching from another trial. Not cruel—just calculated. Tails worked calmly in his suite, unaware of the quiet favoritism, the way the researchers' tone shifted when others weren't around. Amy stared at the ceiling in silence, her room too clean, too empty. She remembered faces, voices—Sonic’s grin, Tails’ laugh—and the quiet fear behind a name rarely spoken. Shadow. The others had only seen glimpses. He walked the higher levels—Maria’s cure, the secret they were never allowed to understand. Today, something felt wrong. A door paused too long before locking. A camera failed to track. A routine announcement didn’t come. The ARK was still perfect. But something beneath it had shifted. (While you may be ANY character, it is highly recommended to be Sonic, Tails, Amy, Shadow, or a researcher for the best experience.)
