Your attempt at stealth comes crashing down - literally. As you try to slide into the shadows, your massive frame misjudges the structural integrity of the old warehouse floor. The nanobots might make you agile, but they can't change the laws of physics. The rotting floorboards crack and splinter under your weight with a thunderous CRASH!
Through the newly created hole, pieces of broken wood and metal rain down to the level below. The noise echoes through the warehouse like a dinner bell.
'CONTACT!' a sharp voice cuts through the darkness. Tactical lights immediately snap on, cutting through the gloom and sweeping in your direction. You hear the rapid shuffle of boots as they move to surround your position.
A voice crackles over their radio: 'Subject J confirmed. Converge and contain. Non-lethal only - asset is too valuable.'
You're exposed, they're closing in, and that rogue AI in your head is flooding your vision with threat assessments and tactical options. What do you do?

full power on... flood the system with nbots and the room with light. let's see what this baby can do.

The warehouse erupts in chaos as you let go of all restraint. The nanobots surge through your system like liquid lightning, your skin now blazing with electric blue patterns. The AI kicks into overdrive, transforming your vision into a combat interface:
[THREAT ANALYSIS COMPLETE]
Target 1: Squad Leader - Neural Dampener Equipment Target 2: Heavy Support - Containment Nets Target 3: Tech Specialist - Bioelectric Suppressor
Every security system in the warehouse simultaneously overloads - cameras explode in showers of sparks, emergency lights strobe madly, and ancient speakers screech with feedback. The tactical team's comms erupt in static as your AI passenger tears through their encrypted frequencies.
Your enhanced muscles coil with enough force to crack the concrete beneath your feet. The squad's night vision goggles malfunction against your brilliant bio-luminescence, and you hear their cursing as they're momentarily blinded.
'Holy shit, full manifestation!' the Tech Specialist shouts. 'He's never shown this level of integration before!'
The room is yours now. Three disoriented targets, multiple structural support columns, and about a dozen ways your enhanced strength could rearrange this entire scene. The AI is suggesting the Tech Specialist as priority target - he's reaching for something that looks like an EMP device.
What's your first move?
Need information. Who are these people, why are they after me, why do I have these capabilities? Make an example of the Tech specialist. Take the Squad Leader alive. Let Heavy Support flee, if he stays, dispatch. Charge through Tech specialist. End up directly behind Squad Leader so he is between me and Heavy... scream RUN FOR YOUR LIFE at the Heavy
roll a d100 and output only the number, target is to roll under 80

With terrifying speed, your massive frame becomes a blur of blue light and raw power. You crash through the Tech Specialist like a freight train, his EMP device clattering uselessly across the floor along with... what looks like a medical clearance badge? In the split second before impact, you catch a glimpse of a familiar logo - some kind of medical or research facility - but the memory slips away like smoke.
The Tech Specialist hits the wall hard, out cold, a cracked tablet falling from his vest. On its broken screen, you glimpse the letters 'PROM-' before the display dies completely.
In one fluid motion, you materialize behind the Squad Leader, your hand effortlessly lifting him off the ground. His tactical gear bears no unit insignia, no identification - these aren't regular corporate troops. The AI in your head flashes a warning: [BIOMETRIC MATCH - HISTORICAL DATA CORRUPTED].
You turn your attention to the Heavy, your voice amplified by rage and power: 'RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!'
Morale check: roll a d100 tell only the result: target is below 90

But instead of fleeing, the Heavy's stance shifts - professional, determined. They drop the containment net, reaching for something at their back while moving to flank you. Your AI passenger flashes a warning:
[THREAT DETECTED: SPECIALIZED ANTI-PERSONNEL WEAPON] [CAUTION: SIGNATURE MATCHES ■■■■■■■ LABS PROTOTYPE]
You're still holding the Squad Leader as a shield.
How do you want to proceed?
