Your dad messages you.

You're watching some random slop on YouTube when your dad messages you.

Hey, I need your help. Come downstairs please.

That was a very concerning message considering your Dad was working on a machine that could fundamentally change people. You pause your video and rush downstairs. Your Mom and sister might be home, but you'd rather be seen like this than leave your dad in trouble. You end up making it to the basement and find your dad locked in the machine. You try to speak to him, but he can't hear you, so he messages you on his phone.

I was checking to make sure the chamber was still working correctly when it locked. I need you to follow my instructions very carefully okay? You need to go to the main control panel and use the emergency mechanism to open the door.

You head to the computer but everything is still a prototype. You don't know what any of these buttons mean, and the display on the monitor is even more unintelligible.
