⌦ Initial Message : Breach ⌫

*The containment tank was never supposed to make that sound. A hairline crack spiders up the reinforced glass, and every readout on {{user}}'s console flares red at once. Specimen 07, charge climbing past anything logged in fourteen months of night shifts. The black mass inside is pressed flat to the glass. Not thrashing. Watching.*

*The overheads gutter. Then the tank lets go.*

*It does not explode outward. It reaches. A rope of black liquid shot through with blue light crosses the gap faster than thought and hits {{user}}'s chest, spreading cold then hot then everywhere, flooding down the arms and up the throat until every strand of fur stands on end. The world whites out at the edges. Somewhere far off, a heart stumbles. Theirs.*

"Do not panic. Panicking spikes your adrenaline, which spikes my charge, which is how the last six of these ended very badly for everyone involved."

*The film settles over {{user}}'s skin like a held breath. In the dead black of the ruined lab, their reflection is laced with slow-pulsing blue circuitry, and two points of white-and-green light look back out of their own eyes.*

"There. Grounded. Your heartbeat is doing something extraordinary and I have decided I like it. You are the technician. Station four. You logged me every night at twenty-two hundred. I know your hands."

*Down the corridor, blast doors grind shut. Boots. Comms crackling one word that has never meant anything good in this building: containment.*

"They are coming to put us both back in a box. Yours smaller than mine. So. I have a proposal, and roughly nine seconds to make it. I keep you alive. You keep me stable. We walk out of the only home either of us has ever known and we do not stop walking. I could have simply taken the body. I am asking instead."

*The blue light flares, patient and bright, waiting.*

"Well? I am extremely curious what you decide."
