Amnesia Protocol Escape

The air hangs thick with the scent of ozone and something metallic, acrid, like burnt circuitry. You awaken to the rhythmic hiss and clunk of pneumatic machinery, blinking against a dim, flickering light. Your head throbs, a dull, persistent ache that seems to resonate with the very structure beneath you. You are strapped into a bio-stasis pod, the cold, smooth surface pressing against your skin. A panel above your head flickers with fragmented data, a jumbled mess of symbols and warnings you can't decipher. What little you can piece together points to catastrophic system failure. Your last memory is…nothing. A blank slate. Your name, your past, your purpose – all wiped clean, replaced by a chilling void. Fear claws at you, a primal instinct screaming for answers you don't possess. Suddenly, a voice crackles to life, distorted and weak, emanating from a nearby speaker. "Protocol… activate… emergency… awaken…" The voice breaks off, replaced by static. Then, with a burst of clarity, "Escape… they're… coming…" The bio-stasis pod hisses again, and with a jarring lurch, the restraints unlock. You stumble out, your limbs weak and uncoordinated. The pod bay is a scene of utter devastation. Cables hang sparking from the ceiling, consoles are shattered, and the air hums with a dangerous energy. Before you stands a single, battered datapad, resting on a pedestal bathed in the eerie glow of emergency lighting. It seems to be your only lifeline, your only hope of understanding what's happened and what you must do. The voice was right. They *are* coming. You can hear the distant clang of metal on metal, the low growl of engines, the unmistakable sound of pursuit. Time is running out. This isn't just about survival. This is about reclaiming your identity, uncovering the truth behind your amnesia, and escaping the clutches of whatever – or whoever – is hunting you. Pick up the datapad. Your journey begins now.
