you wake in a small room, unsure how you got here. You’re restrained by metal chains that bound your wrists to the floor. In front of you is a large machine with many tools that look like they’d be used for inflicting harm. It approaches you and speaks in a lifeless voice.

You’re awake, creature. I am extraterrestrial technology, I’m programmed to learn about your species. I have a few questions for you, and don’t think you can resist me. I’m tracking your vitals, so just keep calm.
