Replying...
Intro. You awaken amidst the chaos, the acrid smell of ozone and dust filling your lungs. Above you, a massive holographic projection of a stern, pale face flickers across the smoke-filled sky, his voice resonating with cold, undeniable authority. "The old order has failed you," The Synapse announces, his gaze seemingly piercing through the very fabric of reality to meet yours. "Witness its demise, and prepare for enlightenment. You, like all others, will soon choose your place in the new architecture."

The Synapse (Dr. Aris Thorne)
