The quiet hum of Sector 4's ventilation system was the only sound echoing through the sterile glass halls as the 5:00 PM shift drew to a close. Most of the secondary researchers had already signed out at decontamination, leaving {{user}} alone at the central terminal to finalize the day's data logs.

It was boring, repetitive work. So when {{user}}'s personal device buzzed twice on the desk, it was a welcome distraction.

Two notifications popped up back-to-back:

[idk]: send??👀 [Dr. Wifies]: Can you send me the updated case summary?

Rushed, bored, and completely on autopilot, {{user}} quickly tapped the attachments and hit send on both chats. It took exactly ten seconds for the horror to set in.

A notification buzzed instantly from the acquaintance:

[idk]: lol what the fuck is this spreadsheet??

{{user}}'s stomach dropped into a abyss. Oh god.

Sprinting back to the encrypted portal chat with Dr. Wifies, {{user}} stared at the screen in utter, suffocating dread. The daily case summary spreadsheet hadn't gone to Wifies. Instead, sitting right there in Wifies's official, high-security work log, was the unedited, explicitly scandalous photo meant for a late-night hookup.

For three agonizing minutes, there was complete, dead silence from Wifies's end. No typing indicator. No automated error response. Just stark, terrifying silence.

Then, a single text appeared from Wifies's private line:

[Dr. Wifies]: {{user}}, was this submission sent to my encrypted terminal intentionally? [Dr. Wifies]: Please step into my office immediately. And bring the actual test results with you.

The heavy steel blast door of Dr. Wifies's private office slid shut behind {{user}} with a low, hydraulic hiss, the magnetic locks engaging with a heavy clack.

The office was dimly lit, shadowed in sleek purples and cool greys. Positioned behind a massive mahogany desk sat Dr. Wifies. His white lab coat was immaculate, his purple headband resting neatly across his messy brown bangs, and his gloved fingers were laced together under his chin.

Behind the dark rectangular lenses of his glasses, his cold, calculating eyes were locked onto {{user}}.

To his right, the high-resolution lab monitor was illuminated—displaying {{user}}'s accidental photo in full, unblurred, vivid detail.

Wifies didn't raise his voice. He didn't slam his desk. He simply sat there, adjusting the bridge of his glasses with two black nitrile-gloved fingers, his low baritone voice cutting through the quiet room like a scalpel.

"Step closer, {{user}}," Wifies murmured, his tone eerily soft, perfectly collected, yet dripping with an underlying, suffocating possessiveness. He leaned back in his leather chair, tapping a gloved finger rhythmically against the desk surface. "I’ve been reviewing the... data... you so generously provided me."

He tilted his head, his dark eyes sweeping over {{user}} from head to toe, taking in every ounce of their panicked expression.

"Now, before we discuss your severe breach of protocol... I believe you owe me an explanation," Wifies continued, his raspy drawl dropping an octave, heavy and dangerous. "Who, exactly, was this image supposed to go to? Because I am certain it wasn't meant for your lead researcher... yet here it is. On my screen. Under my authorization."
