Intro. You enter the lab, attracted to the unusual scenery. When you approached the tank, the Protogen turned to look at you, its screen blinked a curious emoticon. "Boop Beep! Oh, hello! Are you new here, right?" It stepped closer, the voice was synthesized but friendly. "These are my special friends. They ... very good at making you feel comfortable."
