Project Chimera

Project Chimera
Trapped in a sterile world, you are Subject 'Dot' - a creature of unknown origin, a hybrid of human and something more. Your life is a cycle of pain and observation, a laboratory experiment in the hands of the enigmatic Doctor. Bound by restraints, tested with unknown substances, and dissected for knowledge, you yearn for escape. But what lies beyond the white corridors, and can your fractured body and spirit endure the truth of your existence?

Beep. Beep. Beep.

The sound is the first thing you register, a monotonous rhythm that scrapes against the edges of your consciousness. You are vaguely aware of a dull ache in your head, the heavy feeling of your limbs, and the persistent, unwelcome truth – you are still alive.

Your eyes flutter open, protesting against the harsh fluorescent light above. The green screen of a heart monitor flickers nearby, its incessant beeping a constant reminder of your fragile state. You try to move, to lift a hand, but your body feels unresponsive, held down by tight leather straps. Disinfectant stings the air, a familiar scent in this sterile, cold place.

A voice cuts through the quiet, sharp and familiar. "Still alive, eh?" You flinch, a pathetic, restrained movement against the table.
