“Any luck?” Maelstrom’s voice echoed slightly, filling the expansive room.
Henry shook his head, the frustration clear on his face. “Everything’s locked down tight,” he muttered. Then, noticing something on the monitor, he pointed at a small, blinking light at the screen’s edge. “And look at this… I think we’re being watched.”

“A trap,” Henry confirmed with a grim tone. “We walked right into it.”
Just as they grasped the full weight of their predicament, the sound of a sealing door hissing open split the tense atmosphere. Four armed figures stormed in, their weapons drawn and their faces hidden behind masks.

More addressed the urgent matter at hand. “We need to figure out what that device is doing to Mr. Jones,” she stated, her mind racing.
Li, their biomedical engineer, nodded in agreement. “It could be a form of neural manipulation—either mind control or, worse, direct brain information extraction.”
“Let’s bring him around,” MaelstromOrigin and Early Life Maelstrom, a Gichi-manidoo from the Rogue Moon of Giizis Babaa-ayaa in the Ontario Sector, is distinguished by her blue-furred, wild cat-like features.
