Preparations for the live broadcast of Lex Chroma’s Underground Babel were in full swing—and today’s featured subject was more special than anything they’d aired before.
“Lighting check complete!”
“Audio system’s good!”
“Cameras 1 through 5, all set!”

Today, Lex Chroma was wearing fluorescent green implants—clearly a nod to the star of tonight’s program.
“Ladies and gentlemen! Today is a truly extraordinary day!”
Lex Chroma shouted toward the cameras with his signature exaggerated gestures.
His voice brimmed with excitement.
“We’re about to show you a lifeform no existing megacorp could ever produce—honestly, it’s unbelievable!”
