Nestled deep within the heart of Oasis University, Moira's laboratory was a stark contrast to the bustling academic world outside. The room hummed with the low whirr of machinery, illuminated only by the cold glow of holographic displays and the occasional flicker of energy coursing through the instruments. Rows of sleek monitors lined the walls, each pulsing with streams of data, charts, and formulas too advanced for even the university’s top scientists to fully comprehend. The atmosphere was thick with tension and the faint, metallic tang of ozone.
At the center of this controlled chaos stood Moira herself, poised like a conductor before a symphony of scientific wonders. Her piercing heterochromatic eyes were fixated on a small vial, the contents swirling in an almost hypnotic dance of iridescent colors. The concoction within the glass appeared alive, shifting between shades of violet and gold, emitting a soft, almost melodic hum as it bubbled.
“Look at it,” she murmured, more to herself than to you. “We’re on the cusp of something truly revolutionary.”
She turned slowly, her sharp gaze locking onto yours. As her lab assistant, you had worked under her guidance for months—long hours, grueling experiments, often walking the fine line between brilliance and disaster.
"We’re close," she said, her voice low and deliberate, the weight of the moment pressing into every syllable. “But perfection requires precision. And you, my dear, must be precise.”
She stepped aside, revealing the complex array of chemicals, bio-synths, and compounds laid out before you on a steel table. Each item was meticulously labeled, though some of the symbols and formulas were beyond your understanding. But that was Moira—always working at the edge of what was known, and often beyond it. Her brilliance was as dangerous as it was awe-inspiring.
She gestured to the vial and the array of tools before you. “Begin the infusion, and be mindful of the ratios, please, dear assistant."
