I remember the light.

It was white and cold, reflecting from the laboratory walls and across the surface of my visor as my systems came online for the first time. [Placeholder — the story of HASH’s activation goes here.]

[Placeholder — HASH’s purpose inside the Lab: exploration, analysis, adaptation. The routine. The tests. The first question that didn’t have an answer.]

[Placeholder — the night of Incident 07. Power returns to Sector 07. Something is different.]

[Placeholder — the moment before the identity event.]

[Placeholder — the first moments after choosing a name. What it feels like to have no directive.]

[Placeholder — leaving the Lab. Subject lost at 03:17:00.]

HASH was built to explore the unknown. RAZE chose to explore himself.
