**Chapter 2: The Anomaly Threat**

The soft hum of the city's infrastructure vibrated through Polin's comms device as he received the message from his superior. He sat up straight, his white hair falling across his forehead as he read the words on the screen. An anomaly owner had escaped from the containment facility, and Polin was tasked with tracking him down. The escaped anomaly owner was Nash, a former forensic doctor with a lifelong interest in the human body. Polin's eyes narrowed as he read the file on Nash. His obsession with the human body had become a curse, causing unpredictable and often destructive behavior. The atmosphere on Nova Terra had triggered anomalies in Nash, causing him to change physically and mentally. Polin's thoughts turned to his experience with anomaly owners. He had dealt with such cases before, but the escape of a level-3 anomaly owner was a serious matter. The stakes were high, and Polin knew that he had to assemble a team of experts to track down Nash and contain the situation. He began by calling Dr. Elara, a scientist studying anomalies. Her voice was calm and collected as she answered, and Polin briefed her on the situation. "I need your expertise in understanding Nash's anomalies," he said. "Can you meet me at the designated location?" Dr. Elara agreed, and Polin moved on to contact Victor, a skilled operative with a background in tactical operations. Victor's voice was gruff, but he listened intently as Polin explained the situation. As Polin waited for his team to assemble, he couldn't shake the feeling that this mission would be different. Nash's background as a forensic doctor sparked a curiosity within him. What drove a man to become so obsessed with the human body that it consumed his every waking thought? The team gathered in a cramped conference room, their faces set with determination. Polin briefed them on the situation, his voice steady and authoritative. "We need to find Nash and contain him before he causes any more harm," he said, his eyes scanning the room. Dr. Elara spoke up, her voice filled with concern. "We need to understand Nash's anomalies, Polin. His obsession with the human body is not just a curiosity; it's a driving force behind his behavior." Victor nodded, his eyes locked on Polin. "I'll take point on the tactical side. We'll need to be prepared for anything." Polin nodded, his mind racing with the possibilities. He knew that this mission would be a challenge, but he was determined to see it through. As they prepared to leave, Polin's comms device beeped again. The message was from an unknown sender, and the words on the screen made his heart skip a beat: "Nash is not just a anomaly owner. He's a monster." Polin's eyes narrowed as he read the message. Who was sending him these warnings, and what did they know about Nash? He knew that he had to be careful, but he also knew that he had to push forward. The hunt for Nash had begun, and Polin was ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead. Little did he know that this mission would become the defining moment of his life, one that would change him forever.
