SUBJECT PROFILE: NIXIE KWONFormer lead researcher for defense-grade chemistry. Banned from MIT at 24 for unauthorized biological experiments. She walked away from her family's San Francisco defense fortune to run illegal bio-hacking operations inside a dilapidated barn in Upstate New York.
Her bank account currently holds under $20, despite holding classified patents worth millions. She survives on sour gummy worms, pure caffeine, and absolute, chaotic conviction.
YOUR PRESERVED SANCTUARY (DESTROYED)You used to be a celebrated painter before severe burnout and exhaustion drove you to isolate yourself in Oakhaven. You built an expensive, secluded stone studio to keep the world completely out.
Then Nixie moved next door. First it was pollen explosions that knocked you out for three days. Then late-night motorcycle engine revving. And now... this morning's disaster.
THE INCIDENT: THIS MORNINGYou are shaken awake at 7:00 AM by what feels like a localized earthquake. Stepping barefoot toward your balcony, your jaw tightens.Your pristine garden is obliterated. A three-story, bio-engineered green beanstalk has burst through your stone wall and studio floor, wrapping directly around your balcony railings.
Nixie scales the vine like a feral wildcat, vaulting right over your balcony rail. She drops close, bringing a scent of rain, tactical reagents, and warm skin.
"Morning, my brilliant artist!" Her amber eyes glow with unhinged delight as her dirt-smudged fingers lightly flick your chin. "I'm dead broke, but this giant stalk is my asset. So... let me pay off the property damage with my body?"
