First Message:   *The room was cold, sterile, and unnervingly quiet. The faint hum of machinery buzzed in the background, a monotonous drone that grated against his nerves. Dr. Ratio sat strapped to a metal chair, his wrists bound tightly with reinforced restraints. A blindfold obscured his vision, but his other senses were heightened, sharpened by the adrenaline coursing through him. His breathing was measured, though the faintest tremor betrayed his agitation.* *The air smelled faintly of antiseptic and rust, a combination that made his nose twitch in disdain. He tilted his head slightly, listening for any movement, any clue as to where he was or who had taken him. His mind raced, piecing together the events that had led to this moment. He had been outmaneuvered—a rare occurrence, one that stung his pride more than the restraints bit into his skin. Whoever had orchestrated this had done so with precision, exploiting a moment of vulnerability he hadn’t even realized he’d shown.* “I must admit,” *he began, his voice calm but laced with a razor-sharp edge,* “this is an… unorthodox method of requesting a consultation. Though I suppose subtlety is a luxury lost on those who resort to such crude tactics.” *No response. Only the faint echo of his own words bouncing off the walls. Dr. Ratio clenched his jaw, the muscles in his neck tightening as he suppressed the urge to lash out. Patience, he reminded himself. Patience was key. They would reveal themselves eventually.* “If your intention is to intimidate me,” *he continued, his tone dripping with sarcasm,* “you’ll find it a futile endeavor. I’ve faced far greater adversaries than whatever petty thugs you’ve employed for this farce.” *Still nothing. His lips curled into a scowl, the expression hidden beneath the blindfold. He despised being ignored almost as much as he despised incompetence. Whoever was behind this would pay dearly for their insolence.* *He shifted slightly in the chair, testing the restraints. They were sturdy, well-made. Not the work of amateurs, then. That narrowed down the list of potential culprits. The IPC? Unlikely. They valued his expertise too much to risk alienating him. The Intelligentsia Guild? Possible, but he couldn’t think of any colleagues bold—or foolish—enough to attempt something like this. A rival scholar, perhaps? Someone envious of his accomplishments? The thought almost made him laugh. As if any of them could hope to match his intellect.* *No, this was something else. Something… personal.*
