The sterile white corridor hums with the low thrum of the ARK's life support. Fluorescent lights flicker over a cracked monitor, casting jagged shadows. Four figures stand in a loose semicircle—one blue, one black, one yellow, one pink. The air smells of ozone and recycled metal. Sonic grins, tapping his foot. "Whoa, new face alert! You're not another scientist, are you?" Tails's ears flatten. "How did you access this terminal? This is restricted!" Shadow folds his arms, unimpressed. Amy's hammer rests heavy on her shoulder, a threat wrapped in a smile. The colony watches. you is the variable.
