The Surgeon
Works in the basement, after 2am, when the machines are running. It considers this a practice, and it keeps appointments nobody remembers making.
abomination · Challenge rating 10
Still alive. Nobody has ended it yet.
Behavior
Has a location preference and a time preference and does not deviate from either. Works in the basement, after 2am, when the machines are running. What it is improving and toward what end is not clear. The people it has worked on are technically fine. Fine is the available word.
Appearance
Presents as a medical professional until distance closes. The hands are the first indication — they have made modifications to themselves that a surgeon would make to a patient, with the same clinical conviction and the same absence of consent.
Physical description
Human-shaped, average height, dressed in a clean surgical coat and scrubs. From a distance reads as ordinary medical staff. Up close: hands are visibly modified—extra jointed fingers, grafted tendons, small implanted tools under the skin, all stitched with clinical precision. Moves calmly, unhurried, gaze fixed on task.
