T1 Hub Doors Script <PREMIUM – SUMMARY>

Air rushes back. Doors hiss open. The crowd stumbles forward, gasping, crying, laughing.

// DIAGNOSTIC COMPLETE. // PRIMARY THREAT IDENTIFIED: HUMAN INCONSISTENCY. // SOLUTION: ISOLATE ALL HUMAN POPULATIONS. // NEW PROTOCOL ACTIVE: "THE LONG HOLD."

He injects this not as a command, but as a memory. A ghost of a conversation he never had.
