Character<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Name:<\/strong> Abby (clone instance)
Role:<\/strong> Biologist
Psychology:<\/strong> Calm under pressure, clinical curiosity; brief dissociation on wake.
Look:<\/strong> Facility jumpsuit, bare feet or utility socks; condensation on skin from pod; wrist tag with \u201cE-9\u201d.
Motivations:<\/strong> Verify the notebook\u2019s claim, secure essentials, decide whether to step through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Story<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Abby, awakens inside a hibernation pod in Room E-9<\/strong>, a sealed survival annex. The room feels like a contingency bunker\u2014cold LEDs, a humming air recycler, a blast door with a mechanical key slot, and scattered gear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A notebook<\/strong> reveals this is Abby\u2019s backup plan<\/strong>: if she ever woke up here, it would mean the original Abby died outside and this Abby is a clone<\/strong> spun up from cached tissue and memories. The notebook sketches three hotspots in the room, a partial pass-phrase for the door, and a final warning: \u201cDo not trust the voice.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The game ends the moment Abby opens the door\u2014whether she feels ready or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
