It is Autumn. The Vanilla Security Team has gone missing. The MRCS has fallen. You are the last. Also the quartermaster. But. Yeah. The technicians burned. This is a bad start to a bad journey. Working late at night. The Sky has Fallen, but it will Rise Again. I cannot testify. I am not a witness. I cannot. Can. Not. There's something in the woods. Not just us. Not human. Mostly. Ignition. Check-check, flash. Ignition. Check-check, flash. Something's down here with us. The complex is too large for a full sweep of the place. I know something's wrong. Something's here. Something. Something. You will storm the GreatTower and procure your freedom. Go loud, go long. THE WORLDSCRIPT IS BREAKING! TORN BY THE SCIENTISTS OF OUR PRESENT! Oh, it's MADNESS! WHAT IS THIS?! BREAK DOWN, THE SKY FALLS AROUND. DESCENT INTO CHAOS! FEAR THOSE WHO LOST!
