The Silent Alpha
Project Alpha: Broken Leash
The Facility & The Bond: At a secluded research facility, scientists conduct secret experiments while a young girl shares a unique, calming bond with a massive, caged wolf.
The Preparation: Acting as its handler, the girl leads the harnessed wolf past observing scientists and through a high-tech server room to an isolation chamber, where it is muzzled and prepped for a procedure.
The Injection: A scientist in a hazmat suit injects the aggressive wolf with a glowing blue serum. Monitoring from behind safety glass, the research team applauds a seemingly successful trial.
The Outbreak: The success is short-lived. The wolf’s vitals spike into a critical "ALERT" status as the drug triggers a surge of immense strength. The beast shatters its restraints, destroys the exam table, and cracks the concrete floor. Red alarms blare as the scientists flee in a panicked stampede.
