Chapter 1: Onboarding and Allegiance Screening

When Dr. Sarah Chen receives a late-night summons to the Department of Government Efficiency, she enters a bureaucratic labyrinth where identity dissolves, memories are repurposed, and compliance is the only currency. In a world where allegiance is quantified and reflection can betray you, Sarah must navigate euphemisms that disguise surveillance and loyalty tests that rewrite history.

A Kafkaesque dystopia of static echoes, mirrored selves, and emotionally audited lives.
