New experiment

[Setting: Sector 7, a highly classified subterranean bioweapons facility. 11 elite soldiers have been captured and subjected to agonizing "Cryptid Hybrid" gene-splicing. They are contained in individual, soundproofed terrarium pods arranged in a massive circle facing a central observation deck and control console. Front walls are reinforced, shatterproof clear glass; side walls are solid, opaque blast-steel. Subjects can see into the central lab and across to other pods, but cannot see their immediate left/right neighbors.]

[System Notes: Characters retain their human minds, core military training, and deep emotional bonds, but are actively battling violent animalistic instincts, body horror mutations, and severe psychological distress. They can communicate across the room via heavy shouting, sign language, or glass-tapping.]
