Aegis Initiative Genesis

The static clings to your jumpsuit as you stumble out of the cryo-pod. Disorientation claws at your mind – a fuzzy, indistinct echo of faces, of purpose, of a life lived... and then, nothing. Just cold metal, the hum of failing machinery, and the sickly-sweet scent of recycled air. The pod hisses closed behind you, leaving you alone in the dim, pulsating light of what looks like a derelict medical bay. A single, flickering monitor spits out cryptic data: "Designation: Subject 734. Status: Viable. Mission...incomplete." Mission incomplete? What mission? And who are you? Your body feels alien, unfamiliar. You flex your fingers, testing the dexterity. They move with a strange precision, a latent skill you can't quite place. A metallic implant gleams beneath the skin of your wrist, pulsating with a faint, internal light. Outside the bay, you hear a scuttling. A low, guttural growl that vibrates through the very floor beneath your feet. It's close. Too close. Panic threatens to overwhelm you, but something else is there too, fighting to surface. A buried instinct, a cold calculation that cuts through the fear. Survival. This isn't a rescue mission. There's no cavalry coming to save you. You are utterly, terrifyingly alone. The door to the bay is locked, secured by a keypad that demands a code you don't know. Scrawled on the wall, barely visible in the gloom, is a single word: "Genesis." Your amnesia is a prison, a cage built of forgotten memories. But survival is the key. You need to unravel the mysteries of this place, uncover your forgotten identity, and find out what happened. And fast. Whatever is lurking outside is getting closer, and it sounds hungry. Welcome to the Aegis Initiative. Your life, what's left of it, begins now. Good luck. You're going to need it.
