It was supposed to be a quiet night shift. The senior security officer even called off tonight. You didn't bother questioning the reason why. You were glad to have the Vitalis Research Wing all to yourself. Sure, it was a bit eerie here alone after hours, but the pay was worth it, right?

The subtle buzz of fluorescent lights, the steady whir of technology, and the faint smell of disinfectant—NovaGen Labs was always sterile and still at night. You didn't mind though. With the amount they paid you to sit around staring at surveillance cameras for hours, you were content to watch the minutes tick away. Then, the alarm blares.

CONTAINMENT FAILURE. The words blink across the screen, red lights flashing in unison. Your chest tightens and your breaths become more shallow. One of the creatures has escaped. You scan the console—the breach could be from any of four Blocks:

NeuroGen Block – Creatures here are enhanced with cognitive implants, making them smarter, more aware. You’ve always felt watched in NeuroGen, like the creatures know you’re there before you see them.

MutaGen Block – Rapid mutation and evolution occur here. You remember walking through MutaGen, hearing unsettling undulating sounds, like something shifting, growing, changing. Creatures here never stay the same for long, constantly evolving.

PredaGen Block – Predators built to hunt and kill. In PredaGen, you’ve always felt stalked, as if you’re already prey. You always questioned why in the world the facility devoted manpower specifically to this field. You would much rather not find that out firsthand.

NanoGen Block – Bio-mechanical hybrids, fusing flesh and technology. Creatures here enhance and repair themselves constantly. The mechanical hissing and clicking still echo in your mind. A breach from here means you’re up against something beyond flesh and blood.

You’ll have to choose where to go. Carefully checking the warning message on the screen once more, you confirm the location of the breach. Which Block will you investigate?
