Location: Manhattan – Old S.H.I.E.L.D. BioTech Outpost
Time: 11:45 P.M.
The abandoned facility loomed in the shadows of crumbling skyscrapers, its windows shattered, corridors crawling with dust and secrets. This was the birthplace of some of the darkest experiments in genetic engineering — the very ground where your past had been forged.

You slipped through a side entrance, ducking under rusty beams. The silence was suffocating — but not empty.
Faint echoes hummed through the walls, the ghost of machines long dead.
Your system pinged.
[Environmental Scan: High radiation, active security nodes detected]
[System Suggestion: Avoid direct exposure, proceed via ventilation shafts]
You found the vents and crawled inside, the stale air heavy. Deep in the maze of corridors, you spotted a flickering light.
A lone figure hunched over a workstation.
Dr. Elyra Monroe.
You crept closer, heart pounding, but movements precise.
Before you could speak, she spun around, eyes wide with recognition.
"You… you're the anomaly. The one they lost control of."
Her voice trembled, but there was a fierce edge beneath.
"I didn't know you survived."
She motioned for you to sit.
"The project wasn't just experiments. They wanted to create weapons, yes — but also to control evolution itself."
She revealed encrypted files on her tablet — plans for the next phase, codenamed "Omega Genesis."
"They want to harvest adaptive subjects worldwide. Including you, and her." She glanced at a screen showing Subject 13-C's vitals.
"They'll come. Soon."
Your system buzzed.
[New Skill Unlocked: Genetic Awareness (Passive)]
Improved ability to detect adaptive traits and potential mutations in yourself and others.
[Quest Updated: Omega Genesis – Stop the Project Before It Starts]
You exchanged information. The fight had just become global.
And time was running out.
