[img[img/misc/outside.webp]] In the desolate aftermath of a world plunged into chaos, where civilization has crumbled and humanity teeters on the brink of extinction, you find yourself navigating a harsh and unforgiving landscape. The air is thick with the acrid scent of decay, and the once vibrant cities now lie in ruins, haunted by the @@.blurrier;ghosts@@ of a bygone era. You find yourself as a lone survivor. Airborne toxins are everywhere outside, and you're only able to perform limited actions before needing to go back. For some reason, the toxins can't reach the inside of buildings or structures. It's like they need something from the outside to stay active. Good for you. This means your house is safe. However, your house is the only safe house in a good distance. There's no one around you. How will you survive? You're a somewhat handy girl. You'll figure out a way to adapt.

"Authorities confirm that the quarantine perimeter surrounding Research Sector Nine has collapsed after an unexplained breach. The pathogen - identified only as X-17 - is airborne, highly adaptive, and resistant to all known countermeasures." Another static flick. Her voice returns sharper, more strained. "Citizens are urged to remain indoors, seal all ventilation systems, and avoid exposure to outside air at all costs. Early symptoms include disorientation, respiratory shock, and - according to unverified reports - neurological degradation." She glances off-camera. "...I'm being told now that evacuation routes have... been shut down. All emergency shelters are at maximum capacity. Officials insist the situation is ‘manageable,' but independent analysts warn that the contagion is spreading far faster than projections." The studio lights flicker. A distant alarm sounds.

[img[img/main/anna/annaBed.webp]] You hang out with Anna. She's beaming from ear to ear. <<switch random(1, 10)>> <<case 1>>You talk about loneliness, and the time you have spent in this apartment, fixing it up and keeping it looking fresh during the apocalypse, even though there was no one to help you in the end. Anna talks about her parents, and their story. She speaks of them so very fond. She misses them a lot. You give her a hug. <<case 2>>You talk about the old world, the streets filled with people, the sound of laughter spilling from cafés, and the way the city lights used to glow at night. Anna remembers her favorite bookstore, the smell of paper and ink, and how she would spend hours there with her parents. She smiles faintly, then grows quiet. You place your hand gently on hers. <<case 3>>You talk about survival, the long nights spent listening to the wind howl through broken windows, and the small victories of finding food or repairing something that kept you alive. Anna shares stories of her childhood adventures, climbing trees and running through fields, her voice carrying a warmth that cuts through the cold silence. You both laugh softly, and for a moment, the world feels lighter. <<case 4>>You talk about music, the songs that once played on the radio, and how you sometimes hum them to yourself just to remember what joy sounded like. Anna recalls her father's guitar, how he would sing to her mother in the evenings, and how those melodies still echo in her memory. She closes her eyes, and you sit beside her, letting the silence honor the tune. <<case 5>>You talk about hope, the fragile thread that keeps you moving forward, even when the days blur together. Anna speaks of dreams she still carries - of gardens, of laughter, of rebuilding something worth living for. Her eyes shine with determination, and you tell her that maybe, just maybe, you can build that future together. She leans against you, and the room feels less empty. <<case 6>>You talk about fear - not the kind that makes you freeze, but the quiet kind that sits in the back of your mind. The kind that whispers you might end up alone again. Anna listens closely. She admits she still wakes up some nights expecting to hear her parents' voices, only to be met with silence. You both share a moment of vulnerability, and she squeezes your hand as if to remind you she's really here. <<case 7>>You talk about the sky - how it used to be blue, not the hazy grey it is now. You tell her how you'd lie on rooftops, counting stars that no longer shine. Anna tells you she used to name the constellations, even making up her own stories for them. She laughs softly, embarrassed, and you tell her it's beautiful. For a moment, you both stare at the ceiling, imagining a sky worth wishing on. <<case 8>>You talk about food - real food. Fresh bread, warm soups, sweet fruit. Things the apocalypse stole without warning. Anna's eyes light up as she describes her mother's cooking, her favorite meals, and how the kitchen would smell on cold mornings. Her voice cracks halfway through a memory. You offer her a gentle smile, promising that someday you'll cook something together... even if it's just canned beans dressed up with spices. <<case 9>>You talk about mistakes - choices you made, people you lost, the things you wish you could redo. The things you regret. Anna surprises you. She admits she sometimes blames herself for surviving, wondering why she lived when so many others didn't. You place a hand on her shoulder, reminding her that survival isn't a crime. The look she gives you, soft, grateful. It lingers longer than expected. <<case 10>>You talk about dreams. Nightmares that cling to your ribs, and strange visions that follow you into the day. Anna reveals she often dreams of walking through an untouched forest, one full of birds and sunlight. She says she hopes it exists somewhere, untouched by toxins or chaos. You promise her that if it's real, you'll find it together. She blushes quietly, and your heart feels a little warmer. <</switch>> She likes you more! <<setAnna 1>> [[Finish talking|annaRoom]]

You lay down next to Anna, scooting over and assuming the little spoon position. Anna grabs hold of you with her arms, wrapping them around you and holds you tight in a comforting hold. It helps.

The wind came low across the flats, dragging dust and ash like breath from a sleeping corpse. Gray hills rolled out to the horizon, all bones and rust, where once there had been cities. The sky above was the color of old bruises - swollen, veined, forever on the edge of breaking. Kira crouched beneath the jagged frame of a billboard, the metal groaning quietly in the wind. The paint had long since peeled, but the Cyrillic letters were still faintly visible beneath the grime. A warning, or a promise - she couldn't read it, not fully. Few could anymore. Her fingers tightened around the grip of her rifle. Not because she'd heard something, but because she hadn't. No birds, no insects, no wind except for the dead one. Silence like that meant something was near. She watched the road below: cracked concrete swallowed by creeping moss and tireless weeds. A single figure moved down it, dragging a cart. No mask. No weapon. Just a limp gait and a hood pulled low. Not a threat. Not yet. Behind her, the safehouse loomed - an old broadcast station swallowed by vines and grief. Its signal tower still reached upward, defiantly rusting. A place like that shouldn't have survived the fire. But then again, neither should she. She touched the charm around her neck, a jagged scrap of metal carved with three old letters: Б.О.Г. God. Or something like it. She stood, slinging her pack over her shoulder. There was no safety. Not really. Only places the danger hadn't found yet. And this place had been quiet for too long.

They say the first sound to return after the Fall was the wind - screaming through hollowed buildings and broken trees, howling over the skeletons of old empires. No engines. No voices. Just wind, and fire, and the slow grind of time devouring the world. Now, the wind carried news. Dust from far-off roads. Ash from distant cities. Blood, sometimes. Always blood. Luka kept his head down as he walked, boots crunching over shattered asphalt. The map in his coat pocket was stitched from old leather and memory, marked in charcoal and spit. It didn't show roads - they changed too often. It showed people. Outposts. Traders. Killers. Places to avoid. Places where you might sleep without losing a kidney. The sky was red behind the clouds. Not sunset - just the way it was now. Like the world had been scorched and the sky hadn't forgiven it. He passed a wrecked bus, half-buried in the earth. Its windows had been blown out, its frame rusted to ribbons. A word was scrawled across the side in white chalk, "ЖИВИ" - live. He didn't stop. There was a safezone ahead, if the old man had been telling the truth. A place called First Point. He wasn't sure what he'd find there. A bed, maybe. A bullet. Didn't matter. The road only went forward. And so did he.

The sky hadn't spoken in years. No thunder. No engines. No hum of distant aircraft like in the old stories. Just silence - a vast, smothering silence that stretched from horizon to horizon like a wound that never healed. Anya sat atop the ruined dome of an observatory, legs dangling over rusted ribs of iron. Below her, the forest crept - ashen pines, glassy soil, the warped remains of something once sacred to science. The stars were long dead to this world. The machines below no longer searched for them. She adjusted the dial on her radio. Static. A sharp click. Then silence again. Always silence. But this time, just before she gave up, there it was: "...koordinaty... 4-1-9... repeat... survive..." A whisper. Garbled. Barely human. Her fingers trembled as she tuned again. Nothing. But it had happened. She heard it. Anya stood, wind pulling at her coat. The valley below stretched wide and empty, scattered with the bones of towers and machines. Somewhere in all that decay, someone was speaking. And in a world that hadn't spoken in years, that was everything.

The earth remembered what people tried to forget. You could see it in the way steel rebar pushed up through cracked concrete, like roots from a machine god buried deep below. Cities had collapsed, but their bones grew restless. Twisted pylons, rust-choked pipelines, the exposed guts of a world that once thrived on oil and fire. In the heart of it all, Nik trudged through the remains of a metro station, flashlight beam slicing through the damp haze. Moss clung to the ceiling like mildew on a forgotten wound. Water dripped with slow certainty. The rails beneath his feet groaned with age. The walls were covered in carvings - not graffiti, not anymore. These were prayers, warnings, names of the dead. Cyrillic letters etched in soot and desperation. ПРОСТИ НАС Forgive us. Nik stopped. Let the silence settle. Then lit a flare. The red light bloomed, casting long shadows across shattered vending machines and a derailed train that looked like it had tried to climb the stairs before dying. He was close now. The map said this was the edge of the old sector - the last place where the signal was heard. The signal that hadn't broadcast in twenty years. But signals didn't just start up again. Not here. Not unless something had survived. And survival, out here, was rarely a good thing.

The sun cracked, once. Not like glass or stone - more like a scream. A silent, blinding rupture that tore across the sky and left the world half-shadow, half-fire. That was fifty years ago, give or take. Time didn't tick out here like it used to. Watches died, and calendars lost meaning. Out here, you measured time in the fading of scars and the growing of rust. Dima pulled his hood tighter as he climbed the ridge, boots sinking into scorched soil. The horizon shimmered like broken glass, and beyond it, the Wastes sprawled - dunes of irradiated ash, fields of twisted metal where cities once breathed. Above, the sun hung heavy and fractured, its light bleeding through cloud-smeared fractures in sickly gold and amber. It didn't rise or set anymore. It just hovered, flickering like a dying bulb. The locals called it Soln'tse Pustoy - The Hollow Sun. Dima squinted. A shape stood in the distance. Thin. Still. A person, maybe. Or something that used to be one. He gripped the barrel of his rifle. There were no warnings in the Wastes. No second chances. Only the long walk beneath a sky that forgot how to be whole.

They say the Last City still breathes - somewhere behind the smogline, wrapped in towers of glass and steel, humming on generators older than memory. But no one gets in. Not anymore. The wall stretches for miles. Black concrete, fused with old tech and forgotten gods. No gates. No guards. Just the drones - silent, drifting things with no eyes but perfect aim. And then there's the shadow. It crawls outward from the city's base like rot, a dark stain on the land. Nothing grows there. Nothing lives for long. Some call it a dead zone. Others say it's alive - watching, waiting, feeding off those who come too close. Rada knew better than to believe stories. Stories got you killed. She crouched at the edge of the ruins, watching the horizon. The sun had already dipped below the smog, casting the landscape in dull orange and soot-black. Behind her: scattered bones of suburbia. Half-collapsed homes, tangled wire fences, children's toys melted into pavement. Ahead: the City. Distant. Cold. Its spires lit with a pale, artificial glow like candlelight trapped in glass. She wasn't here for myths. She was here for what the courier died carrying. A data drive. A map. And a phrase scratched into bloodstained metal: "The gate still opens... but only from the inside." Rada checked her weapon. Took a breath. And stepped into the shadow.

The road had no name. It wound through the bones of the old world - fractured highways buckled by heat and time, choked with the rusted husks of machines that once knew motion. Every mile felt like a memory trying to be forgotten. Taren walked it anyway. The wind was sharp this morning, carrying ash from the west. Fires again, or something worse. The kind of smoke that smelled like more than wood. He kept his scarf tight over his mouth, breathing shallow. He passed a road sign, half-eaten by moss. The letters had long since faded, but someone had scratched a new message into the metal beneath: "NO GODS THIS WAY." Taren didn't stop. He didn't pray. He was looking for someone. Or maybe just the end of the road. Same thing, these days. Behind him, the world groaned in its sleep - earth shifting, ruins settling, something distant howling like a storm with teeth. Ahead, the sky cracked open in streaks of jaundiced light, and somewhere just beyond the next bend, the land fell silent again. He coughed, tasting blood. His breath was getting shorter. But the road? The road always went on.

The smoke never cleared. It clung to the hills like mourning cloth, thick and gray, curling through skeletal trees and broken towers. Some said it came from fires that never stopped burning, deep beneath the earth. Others said the smoke was alive - listening, remembering. Either way, you learned to live with it. Or you didn't. Maeve pressed a rag to her mouth as she moved through the wreckage of a rail yard, stepping carefully between twisted rails and rusted freight. Her boots kicked up soot with every step, and her breath came shallow and strained. Somewhere in the distance, metal creaked. Not from the wind. She paused. Listened. A whisper drifted through the haze - faint, almost human. A syllable, maybe a name. It vanished before she could hold it. Not the first time. She was two days out from First Point, following rumors carved into bark and spray-painted on collapsed walls. Signs of a caravan that went east and never returned. Of people who'd heard the voices and walked willingly into the smoke. Maeve had no illusions. She wasn't here to save anyone. She was here because the smoke had whispered to her too. And she wanted to know why.

The ground wasn't dead. It shifted when no one looked - heaved like breath held too long, or memory trying to surface. Roots grew wrong here. Bent upward. Twisted metal jutted through the earth like ribs. Every step sank just a little too far, as if something underneath was reaching up, waiting. They called it the Hollow Fields. Jarek didn't believe in ghosts, not really. But as he crossed the wide scar of land where no birds flew, rifle slung low and boots caked in black mud, he kept one eye on the dirt. Just in case. The silence wasn't natural. No wind. No buzz of insects. Even the clouds above moved slow, like they were afraid to pass over. He found the first marker before dusk. A simple wooden stake, scorched and cracked, marked with a name that had long since faded. Around it, the ground was uneven - like something had dug its way out, not in. Jarek crouched, brushing dirt aside with gloved fingers. Beneath the soil, a piece of bone. Small. Human. The locals in First Point had warned him. "Don't go east. The ground's still listening there." But the map was clear. Something had fallen here. A craft. A vault. A weapon. Whatever it was, someone wanted it buried. And something else didn't want it left alone.

They used to say the body was sacred. Now, it was just another thing you could upgrade - or strip for parts. Cade adjusted the servo-brace on his leg, the gears whining faintly as he rose from the dust. It wasn't fancy - nothing like the pre-Fall tech you saw in the old war posters - but it worked well enough to keep him moving. Moving was survival. The sun was brutal today, dragging shadows long across the wreckage of an old refinery. Steel bones rose from the sand like fingers grasping for air. Buzzards circled above, hoping to pick at something that hadn't gone cold yet. He wiped the sweat from his brow, fingers trailing over the scarred metal fused to his temple. Not all augmentations were voluntary. Some were war-born, stitched into flesh out of desperation or punishment. Cade couldn't remember which category he belonged to. A distant rumble echoed from the west. Not thunder. Too rhythmic. Too alive. Engines. He ducked behind a rusted husk of an armored crawler and peered through the broken viewport. Dust clouds on the horizon. Raiders, maybe. Or worse - scavs with organ debt and no patience. Cade checked the charge on his rail pistol. One shot. Maybe two. That was the thing about the Wastes: You were either steel, or you were bone. And some days, you got to decide which.

The last light of the day was always the hardest to watch. Not because it marked the end of the day, but because it marked the beginning of nothing. The twilight hours stretched too long in a world that had already given up on dawn. The sky was the color of forgotten things - faded gold, bleeding into bruised purple - as though the sun itself was trying to turn its back on what remained below. Vera stood at the edge of a crumbled tower, staring into the ruins of the city that once stood proud. Now, it was just a maze of cracked concrete, twisted steel, and empty windows that looked like the hollow eyes of forgotten giants. The skyline, once full of promise, was now only silhouettes against a sky that refused to die. She pulled her coat tighter, the worn fabric scratching against the scars of her skin, and surveyed the wreckage. Nothing moved. Nothing breathed. It had been years since anything had dared to. The maps were useless. The guides were myths. The city no longer held any real secrets - only whispers. But Vera wasn't here for whispers. She was here for answers. "They still call it the Dreamers' District," a voice murmured behind her. She didn't turn. The voice had followed her for days now, a shadow in the dark, always too quiet. "You know what that means?" Vera didn't respond. She'd heard the stories too. Old things. Things people should never chase. But in a world like this, where hope had become a commodity traded on the black market, the Dreamers' District was more than just a memory - it was a promise. The promise of something more. Something left behind. Something worth finding. She took one last look at the ruins. Then, without another word, she turned toward the unknown. The city could have been dead. But for now, it was still alive enough to hold its secrets.

The fire never stopped burning. It wasn't the kind of fire that lit up the sky with fury or sent waves of heat rolling out like a storm. No, this one simmered beneath the earth, a slow, aching burn that ate away at the land from the inside. Ashes floated from the cracks in the soil, drifting lazily in the wind like snow in reverse - cold, dead, and carrying the taste of loss. Jarek knelt beside the smoldering ruins of what had once been a factory. The metal husk still stood, but there was no sign of life. Not anymore. Not here. The walls were scorched, the windows blackened by years of heat and neglect. The smoke still poured from the fissures in the earth, creeping up like ghosts that refused to let go. He could almost hear the whispers again, just beneath the crackle of the dying flames. "It's still out there." The words of an old man, a merchant who had disappeared into the night years ago, leaving behind only a map and a promise: The Fire still remembers. He didn't know what that meant. And he didn't know why he was still searching. The world was full of broken promises. Full of charred earth and smoldering ruins. But this? This was something different. Something that called to him, deep in his bones. Something that wouldn't let him walk away. A figure appeared in the distance, silhouetted against the orange haze. They moved with purpose, a shadow in the shape of a person. Jarek's hand instinctively went to the hilt of his knife, but he didn't make a move. Whoever it was, they were just another wanderer. Another soul looking for something that didn't exist. But maybe, just maybe, they knew. The fire had to come from somewhere. And maybe, just maybe, it hadn't been forgotten after all.

The bridge was more than just a structure. It was a promise, or so they said. A span of steel and stone that once connected two worlds - one of hope, and one of ruin. Now, the bridge stood broken, its arches half-collapsed, its cables snapped like the bones of something ancient. Beneath it, the river had long since dried, leaving only cracked earth and rusted debris where the currents once flowed. But in the distance, the other side still beckoned. Lena stood at the edge of the wreckage, her fingers brushing the jagged remnants of the old road. The place where the last remnants of civilization had stopped, where the fires had burned the brightest. She'd heard the stories - the last safe place, the last gate to the future. All of them, whispered by travelers who spoke in hushed tones, as though to speak too loudly might shatter the fragile illusion. She didn't know what she was looking for. There were no maps. No guarantees. The last bridge had always been a myth for people who had nothing left to lose, and she? She had everything left to find. Or, more accurately, everything left to lose. The air smelled like smoke and ozone, the remnants of old storms that never cleared, like the sky itself was holding its breath. Around her, the ruins stretched out into the wasteland - scorched earth, twisted metal, abandoned homes swallowed by the creeping desert. The remains of a world that had tried and failed. Lena pushed forward, her boots crunching against the dry gravel as she climbed the crumbled remains of the bridge. Behind her, the past was nothing but ash. Ahead, the future remained uncertain. But the stories, they said there was something more. Somewhere across that ruined span, hidden beneath the weight of time and rust, was the key. The last key. A future.

The wind carried the ashes like memories, dusting the ruins of the world with reminders of what had been. Echo-1 scanned the horizon, the dim red glow of the dying sun filtering through the smoke-choked sky. Her helmet's visor reflected the fractured landscape - what had once been a thriving city, now little more than a smoldering husk of rust and decay. It had been a long time since the sky had seen clear light. Long since the world had known peace. Her boots crunched on the charred earth as she moved, her footsteps echoing in the silence. The air tasted like metal, thick and bitter, clinging to her lungs. She'd been out here too long. The missions were starting to blend together, each one more of a blur than the last. A hunt for answers in a world that had forgotten how to ask questions. She adjusted her rifle, scanning the rubble. She wasn't alone here. She never was. The echoes of the past followed her everywhere - voices in the static, whispers in the smoke. Her own heartbeat seemed too loud. The last transmission had come through just hours before - crackling and faint, barely decipherable through the interference, but it was clear enough: "The signal... in the ruins. You'll find it... find it, Echo-1..." There were no specifics. No coordinates. Only a cryptic message that made her stomach twist with something between fear and curiosity. Echo-1 checked the map on her wrist display. It flickered for a moment before stabilizing. "Objective: Ruins of Sector 15." A forgotten place. A name erased from most maps. But she knew better. The coordinates had been buried deep. Hidden, intentionally. It had to be important. There were secrets here. Old secrets. And in a world like this - where every inch of land was tainted by history - it was only a matter of time before they resurfaced. The ruins ahead stretched out like a graveyard, and beneath the ash, something whispered. Something that had been waiting.

The city had long since forgotten its name. Now, it was just a scar on the earth, a tangle of rust and concrete that sprawled in every direction like the skeleton of a forgotten beast. Time had worn it down - layer by layer - until all that was left were fractured streets and crumbling towers, their once proud spires now leaning like broken bones. The air was thick with the smell of decay and dust, a reminder that the world had died slowly, and in doing so, had lost its voice. Jenna stood at the edge of a collapsed bridge, the wreckage of the old world sprawled beneath her feet. A metal handrail jutted out from the ground like a forgotten monument to something lost. Somewhere in the distance, the hum of ancient turbines stirred - a sound that no one had bothered to stop, as though the machines themselves had forgotten how to rest. She adjusted the straps on her pack, eyeing the horizon. It was always quiet out here. Quiet in a way that settled deep in your bones, making you wonder if you were the last one left to witness it. The last to remember. The sun was nothing more than a pale smear in the sky, and the wind carried with it the soft whisper of history - burnt books, broken machinery, the scent of old prayers never answered. Jenna had heard the stories, of course. Stories of the Reverence - a time before the fall, before the rust. People spoke of it with reverence, of a world where knowledge was sacred and the earth had been whole. They spoke of it like a dream, one that had slipped through their fingers. The ruins around her were all that remained of that dream. And she was here to uncover whatever secrets still lingered beneath the layers of soot and metal. Because buried beneath the ruins of the past, hidden under centuries of dust and forgotten words, there were truths - truths that could change everything. But not everyone wanted those truths to surface. Jenna glanced behind her at the faded map in her hand. There was a place marked on it. A place that still stood in defiance of time. A place where something ancient and dangerous was waiting, hidden beneath the layers of rust. And for the first time in months, Jenna felt something stir inside her - a pulse of purpose. The Reverence had left a mark on this land. It was up to her to find it before it was lost forever.

The wolves were never gone. They just learned how to walk on two legs. In the old world, they were shadows in the forest, fierce and untamed, with eyes like burning embers and fangs that could tear through the quiet night. But the world had changed. And so had they. Mara had seen it all before - her village was a half-sunken thing, a forgotten outpost surrounded by the ruins of the old cities. There was a place where the trees grew twisted, where the land seemed to remember what had been lost, and the wolves lingered just out of sight. But now, it wasn't just the wild things in the forest. No, now they walked the streets, dressed in the skins of men, with voices that called in the same tongue. Mara could feel the eyes on her as she walked down the cracked road, the weight of it almost physical, like invisible claws scratching at the back of her neck. It was always like this now. In the town square, there was a fire - crackling, warm, but strange. The light flickered in a way that didn't feel natural. She glanced over her shoulder, her hand instinctively resting on the hilt of her knife, the worn leather comforting in its familiarity. "Don't mind them," came a voice from the shadows. The old man - Arden, they called him - stepped forward, his face hidden beneath a tattered hood. He always had a way of showing up when Mara least expected it. Mara didn't answer, just stared into the flames. There was something about the fire tonight. It felt too still. Too watchful. "They're coming," Arden said, his voice low. "The wolves. They're never far, you know. But this time, they're more than just hunters." Mara didn't need to ask what he meant. The stories had spread long before she'd made it to the edge of the ruins - stories of wolves in human skin, infiltrating the places people thought were safe. They weren't just watching anymore. They were hunting, waiting. Mara's fingers tightened around the knife's handle. She wasn't about to be hunted. Not here. Not now. "Then we hunt them first," she said, her voice steady, as if she'd been waiting for this moment all her life. Arden only nodded, his weathered eyes reflecting the flames. "The wolves who walked among us. They're not just after survival anymore. They're after something we can't even understand." Mara took a breath and turned toward the darkening horizon. Somewhere, deep in the night, the wolves were stirring. And they were closer than ever. The hunt had begun.

The wind didn't whisper anymore. Once, long ago, it had carried the voices of the world - voices that laughed, that cried, that dreamed. But now, in the heart of the wasteland, the wind was mute. It swept across the barren land with a hollow sound, like a forgotten ghost trying to remember its name. Rhea pulled her cloak tighter against the chill, the fabric scraping against her scorched skin. The sun, once a beacon of hope and light, now hung like a dead weight in the sky, a pale orange disk that cast no warmth. Beneath her feet, the cracked earth stretched out in every direction - dust, rock, and the occasional rusted skeleton of something that had once been alive. A city. A machine. A dream. It was all the same now. She walked alone, the sound of her boots muffled by the thick dust that choked the life from everything it touched. The wasteland had been like this for as long as she could remember - silent, desolate, the kind of place that erased all trace of humanity with a cruel, indifferent hand. But Rhea was no stranger to silence. In fact, she'd come to appreciate it. Because, in the wasteland, silence was a warning. She paused, looking out across the horizon. Something had shifted in the air - an unsettling stillness that made the hairs on the back of her neck stand at attention. Far off, just beyond the next ridge, there was movement. A figure. It didn't belong. There were no other travelers out here. Not anymore. Rhea's hand instinctively reached for the knife strapped to her side. The wasteland had a way of making even the strongest of people forget what it meant to trust their instincts. She had learned the hard way that the things that wandered the edges of this place didn't always look like monsters. Sometimes, they wore the same face as you. The figure grew closer, and Rhea could see the details now - dust-covered clothes, a hooded figure, slow, deliberate steps. She didn't move, just watched as it approached. Her heart rate didn't quicken. It hadn't for a long time. Out here, your heart learned to slow down, to match the rhythm of the earth. And then, the figure spoke, the words cutting through the silence like a blade. "We've been waiting for you." Rhea's grip on the knife tightened. Something was different about this encounter. The wasteland had never been one for promises. It had never been a place for waiting. And yet, here it was. The silence was no longer the most dangerous thing about the wasteland.

The road was a thread through the ruins, barely visible beneath the dust and the ash, but it was there. It had always been there. Tomas had been walking it for days now, and the further he went, the more he felt the weight of its history on his shoulders. It wasn't the kind of road that could be mapped or measured, not anymore. The signs were gone, the landmarks shattered, but the path still beckoned. It was a road of ghosts - memories carried by the wind, whispers that hummed through the crumbling buildings and forgotten streets. The Ghost Roads, they were called. A name whispered by the survivors, by the ones who still clung to stories of a time before the Fall, when people had lived and dreamed and built. Before everything burned. Tomas didn't believe in ghosts, not really. But out here, in the wasteland where time had folded in on itself and the air tasted like rust, it was hard to dismiss anything. He paused by the remains of an old billboard, its edges curled and burned, a faded image of a smiling family beneath a slogan that promised "A Better Tomorrow." The irony twisted like a blade in his gut. There hadn't been a better tomorrow, not for anyone. The world had crumbled long before the last ember had fallen. But the Ghost Roads... There was something about them. Something about this road that seemed to call to him, deep in his bones. He didn't know what he was searching for - maybe redemption, maybe answers - but the road didn't care about his reasons. It just led. And Tomas, like so many others, had learned long ago that to follow it was the only choice left. The wind kicked up, sending a swirl of ash in his face. He wiped it away, his hand lingering on his scarf. Underneath, the burn marks from the firestorms of years past still stung. He had no illusions about the path ahead. It wasn't the kind of road that led to safety or salvation. It was a road that led to truth. And truth, Tomas had learned, was a dangerous thing. The sound of distant thunder rumbled through the empty sky, though no clouds were visible. The Ghost Roads had always been like this - unpredictable, shifting, hiding their secrets from those who dared to walk them. Tomas adjusted the strap on his pack and pressed on, his footsteps muted against the dead earth. The road stretched out before him, winding through the ruins like the remnants of some forgotten dream, and somewhere, far in the distance, he could just make out the outline of a broken bridge. It was the last marker. The last promise of something that had been lost. And as he walked towards it, Tomas felt the air around him change, as though the very road was watching him now, waiting.

The cold was a constant companion. It seeped into the marrow of the bones, gnawed at the flesh, and left everything coated in a layer of frost. But it wasn't the chill that Tomas feared - it was the stillness that came with it. The stillness of a world that had stopped turning. The quiet of a land that had forgotten how to live. He walked alone now, his footsteps crunching on the frozen earth beneath him, the metallic scent of blood still lingering in the air from the night before. The wound on his shoulder throbbed with each step, but Tomas didn't slow down. Pain was just another part of the wasteland. It was what you had to fight through, even when it felt like your body was betraying you. The old world had been full of fire and life, of cities that blazed with light and voices that filled the streets. But the fire had gone out long ago. All that was left were the ruins - gray and lifeless, with no more songs to sing. Now, in the aftermath, there were only ghosts and metal. Cold iron and warm blood. Tomas tightened his grip on the rifle slung across his back, the weight of it a reminder that he wasn't just surviving. He was hunting. Out here, you had to be both predator and prey, because no one cared who you were once. The world had grown smaller, quieter, and the creatures that roamed it had learned to wear the faces of men. He had learned to recognize them - those strange, twisted forms that lived in the shadows. Some called them raiders. Others, demons. But Tomas knew them for what they were: hunters. The wind howled through the skeletal remains of a half-collapsed building nearby, carrying with it the stench of rot. Tomas paused, scanning the wreckage. The city, or what was left of it, was a maze of broken concrete and twisted metal. There was no order here. No law. Only survival. He moved cautiously, his boots light against the snow-crusted ground. He had learned to be cautious in the silence of the wasteland. The slightest noise could be the end of you. A crack in the snow, a whisper in the wind, a shadow just out of sight - these were the things that killed. Ahead, in the distance, something moved. It wasn't human. Tomas crouched, his hand brushing against the cold iron of his rifle. His breath fogged in the air as he exhaled slowly, eyes narrowing on the shape. He had seen enough to know that whatever it was, it wasn't a simple wanderer. It was something dangerous. Something hungry. A low growl echoed across the frozen expanse. It was a sound that felt too close, too real. Tomas clenched his jaw, fighting the sharp ache of the wound in his shoulder, and steadied his rifle. There was no turning back now. In the wasteland, you either hunted - or you were hunted. And Tomas wasn't ready to die yet. Not today.

The sky had been broken for as long as Lira could remember. It wasn't a crack in the clouds or a tear in the fabric of the heavens - it was more like a slow, agonizing unraveling, an invisible wound in the world that refused to heal. The sun hung too low, casting an eternal twilight over the desolate landscape. The stars had long since dimmed, hidden behind the gray smog of ash that never seemed to clear. It was as if the heavens themselves had given up, collapsing inward, taking the light with them. Lira ran her fingers through her tangled hair, her eyes fixed on the horizon, where the jagged remains of the city's skyline cut into the dull sky. The ruins were a reflection of what the world had become - broken, abandoned, forgotten. Buildings that once stood tall and proud now lay in ruin, their skeletal frames reaching toward a sky that had no mercy to give. She had been here for days now, walking the same cracked streets, searching for something she wasn't sure existed anymore. People spoke of the Aether, a place far beyond the wasteland, where the sky was still whole and the air was still pure. They said it was a myth, a dream for the desperate, for those too afraid to accept the truth: that the heavens were gone, and with them, everything that had once been worth saving. But Lira didn't believe in myths. She never had. The wind whispered through the ruins, carrying with it the stench of decay. She adjusted the pack slung over her shoulder and kept moving. The remnants of old world technology flickered faintly in the distance - a broken comm tower, a faded sign, a flicker of light through the cracked glass of a building that might have been a hospital once. She had learned to ignore the whispers of the past, to drown out the voices of memories that called to her like the wind. It wasn't that she was afraid of them. It was that there were no answers to be found there. No salvation in the ruins. Only more questions. But something was different today. The ground beneath her feet seemed to tremble slightly, as if the earth itself was waking up from a long slumber. A faint rumble echoed through the air, low and distant, but it was enough to make Lira stop and listen. The sounds of the wasteland had been predictable for so long - the wind, the silence, the occasional crash of falling debris. But this... this was something else. She scanned the horizon, her fingers instinctively brushing the hilt of her knife. She had no idea what was happening, but whatever it was, it didn't feel like a coincidence. It was as if something had begun to stir beneath the surface of the world - a force long forgotten, long buried, now rising to claim what was left. And deep in her gut, Lira felt a stirring of hope, sharp and fleeting. Hope that the world wasn't beyond repair. Hope that the heavens hadn't crumbled forever. Maybe the Aether wasn't just a myth. Maybe it was real. Maybe the sky could still be saved.

The gods had long since abandoned this world. It wasn't a fall from grace. It wasn't a battle or a curse. It was simply... silence. One day, they were here - great and terrible, their names spoken with reverence, their deeds carved into every stone and whispered across every fire. The next, they were gone, leaving nothing behind but the ruins of their temples and the echoes of their once-immense power. Vera stood at the edge of a crumbled stone pillar, her boots sinking slightly into the damp earth as she surveyed the desolation before her. The remnants of an ancient city sprawled out in every direction, its once-proud buildings now mere skeletons - towers half-eaten by time and nature, carvings of forgotten symbols barely legible in the dim light of the setting sun. The air smelled of moss and decay, thick with the weight of centuries. She had been traveling for weeks, following the whispers of those who still believed - believed that the gods might return, that the paths of the old world still held secrets. The last of the Keepers, the last of the Scholars, the last of those who had held the knowledge of the divine. She didn't know what she hoped to find. Maybe an answer. Maybe a purpose. The gods' temples, now little more than tombs of stone and dust, seemed to call out to her. They had left their mark on every corner of this earth. Even now, the faintest tremor of their lost power lingered, if only in the ruins. Her fingers brushed over an ancient inscription carved into the stone at her feet. It was worn, but still readable in places: "We walk not as men but as gods, for we have touched the heavens." The language was one that hadn't been spoken for generations, a dialect only a handful could still decipher. Yet she had learned it. She had learned it because, like so many others, she believed there was more to the world than this. She wiped the dust from her brow, her eyes tracing the jagged remains of a once-mighty statue in the distance. It stood tall, though broken - half of a face, shattered arms, its once-terrifying gaze now lost to the sky. The stories had told her that the gods had walked this land, that their footprints left marks upon the earth itself. Those who had sought to follow them, to gain their favor, had been rewarded with power, with knowledge, with immortality. And when the world turned, when the old ways fell away, the gods had left in silence, abandoning their creations as though they were no longer worth the effort. But Vera refused to believe they had vanished entirely. The gods had touched this land too deeply for their presence to simply fade into nothing. And now, the time had come to follow in their footsteps. To seek what had been lost. A low rumble shook the ground beneath her, a tremor that seemed to rise from the depths of the earth itself. For a brief moment, the air grew still. She held her breath, every instinct telling her to run, to flee from whatever ancient force was stirring. But she didn't move. Instead, she lifted her head to the sky - where the heavens had once been full of stars - and listened. Something had woken. Something forgotten, something ancient. It was calling her, and she was ready to answer.

You stare out the window. <<switch random(1, 10)>> <<case 1>>A torn piece of fabric hangs from a street sign across the road, snapping weakly in the wind. Each time it twists, it reveals a different faded color, as if it once belonged to something brighter. The metal pole creaks softly under the strain, a sound so low it almost blends into the background hum of the ruined city. <<case 2>>A light fog drifts between the buildings, thin enough to see through but dense enough to blur edges. It moves unevenly, pooling in doorways and spilling out again, as if the street itself is breathing. After a while, it thins and disappears, leaving the world sharp and exposed once more. <<case 3>>An abandoned car sits in the middle of the road, its driver-side door slightly ajar. The wind nudges it now and then, causing it to open a little wider before settling back. Inside, the upholstery flutters faintly, like the car is exhaling its last trapped air. <<case 4>>Something skitters across the pavement near the far corner of the block - too small and too fast to identify clearly. It darts from shadow to shadow, pauses once, then vanishes behind a collapsed storefront. The street returns to stillness as if it was never disturbed. <<case 5>>Clouds roll overhead in thick, uneven layers, casting slow-moving shadows that stretch and contract across the buildings. For a brief moment, the street darkens completely, the world reduced to silhouettes. When the light returns, nothing appears to have changed, but the sense of weight lingers. <<case 6>>A loose sign mounted above a shop entrance swings back and forth, its rusted chain grinding with each movement. The motion is hypnotic - left, right, left - never quite slowing. Eventually the wind shifts, and the sign turns just enough to face away from view, its movement hidden but implied. <<case 7>>A faint reflection catches your eye in a distant window, flashing briefly like glass turning toward the sun. The angle changes, and the reflection is gone. You stare for a while longer, but the building remains dull and lifeless. <<case 8>>Debris stirs along the road. Paper scraps, dirt, and fragments of old packaging - gathering into a lazy spiral before scattering again. The wind seems indecisive, pulling in one direction and then another, unable to commit to carrying anything away for good. <<case 9>>For several seconds, the street is utterly silent. No wind, no movement, not even the soft ambient noise that usually fills the air. The quiet presses in, thick and uncomfortable, until a distant creak echoes from somewhere unseen and the world exhales again. <<case 10>>A shadow stretches across the far wall of a building, long and distorted, cast by something moving out of sight. It slides slowly, changes shape once, then breaks apart as the light shifts. When the wall is bare again, it feels wrong - too empty, too exposed. <<case 11>>A dark smear marks the side of the street, stretching from the curb toward a shattered storefront. Whatever caused it is no longer there. The stain looks old, half-faded by weather, yet something about its edges seems too sharp, as if it hasn't fully settled into the pavement yet. <<case 12>>One of the buildings across the road has a window that wasn't broken before. The glass is intact, cloudy with grime, and slightly open. It sways almost imperceptibly, though there's no wind strong enough to justify the movement. <<case 13>>A shape lies beneath a collapsed awning in the distance. From here, it could be debris, or it could be something else entirely. The longer you look, the harder it becomes to tell which details are real and which ones your mind is supplying. <<case 14>>The shadows outside don't line up the way they should. For a while, they stretch in slightly different directions, overlapping at strange angles. Then, slowly, they correct themselves, snapping back into something that almost makes sense. <<case 15>>A sound carries faintly through the street - soft and rhythmic, like something tapping against concrete. It repeats a few times, irregular but deliberate, before stopping abruptly, leaving the silence feeling unfinished. <<case 16>>Something moves behind a distant wall, visible only as a slow distortion in the light. It passes, pauses briefly, then continues on. The wall itself remains solid, untouched, as though whatever caused the shift was never really there. <<case 17>>A lone shoe sits near the center of the road, upright and undamaged. There are no matching footprints around it, no sign of where it came from. It remains exactly where it is, unaffected by wind or time. <<case 18>>The sky darkens suddenly, not like evening, but like something momentarily blocking the light. The change lasts only a heartbeat before the brightness returns, leaving your eyes aching as they readjust. <<case 19>>A faint outline appears in the dust coating a nearby wall - vaguely human in shape, as if someone once leaned there for a long time. The outline fades slowly as the dust shifts, until the wall looks blank again. <<case 20>>For a brief moment, your reflection overlaps with the glass of the window, superimposed over the ruined street beyond. The alignment is wrong - your shape doesn't quite match your movements. When you step back, the reflection snaps into place, as if nothing was ever off. <</switch>>\ [[Turn away|bedroom]]

<div class="terminal"> <h1>$locations.bioresearch.name Director's Terminal</h1> Subject: Urgent! Proceed Incineration To: Morrison Dear Director, The situation at Sector Epsilon has deteriorated rapidly. The specimen labeled "X-17" has bypassed every containment protocol we implemented, showing signs of accelerated mutation and an unprecedented resistance to sterilization methods. We've exhausted all viable countermeasures within the lab, and the contamination risk is now critical. Per emergency protocol, I am requesting immediate authorization to proceed with incineration of all exposed materials, including the lab. Time is of the essence. Please confirm approval at once. Respectfully, Dr. Adrian Holt Lead Containment Specialist, Sector Epsilon [[Close email|directorsMessages]] [[Close terminal|directorsOfficeBIO]] </div>

<div class="terminal"> <h1>$locations.bioresearch.name Director's Terminal</h1> Subject: Urgent! This is Not Good... To: Morrison Director, We have a major issue at Sector Epsilon. During a transfer procedure involving specimen "X-17," there was an unexpected breach in the isolation chamber. The containment field dropped momentarily, resulting in brief exposure to two of our personnel. Both individuals have been placed in isolation, but they've begun exhibiting severe symptoms, including high fever and erratic neurological behavior. Internal quarantine has been initiated, but the systems here were not designed for this level of containment. I strongly advise dispatching emergency containment reinforcements to Sector Epsilon immediately. This cannot escalate further. Awaiting your instructions, Dr. Adrian Holt [[Close email|directorsMessages]] [[Close terminal|directorsOfficeBIO]] </div>

<div class="terminal"> <h1>$locations.bioresearch.name Director's Terminal</h1> Subject: Ancient Virus To: Morrison Director, We've completed the initial sequencing of specimen "X-17," the organism extracted from the Epsilon permafrost dig site. Preliminary analysis suggests it is an ancient viral entity with a protein structure that defies known classifications. The virus displays remarkable resilience and adaptability, and early in vitro tests indicate it has an unusually high rate of host cell invasion. While there's no immediate evidence of airborne transmission, we cannot rule it out given the pathogen's apparent adaptability. We need immediate Level 5 containment upgrades to continue our study safely. Please advise. Sincerely, Dr. Adrian Holt [[Close email|directorsMessages]] [[Close terminal|directorsOfficeBIO]] </div>

<div class="terminal"> <h1>$locations.bioresearch.name Director's Terminal</h1> Subject: Urgent! Contained Permafrost To: Morrison Director, The permafrost sample from Site Epsilon has proven far more volatile than anticipated. Thawing has triggered the reactivation of biological entities, with specimen "X-17" emerging as the most concerning. Its cellular structure suggests it has evolved to remain dormant under extreme conditions for tens of thousands of years, only to become highly active when reintroduced to modern environments. We've enacted full lockdown of the facility, but our containment systems are stretched thin. The integrity of the lab is under threat, and any lapse could result in unpredictable consequences. I am requesting immediate resources and expert teams to fortify containment at Sector Epsilon. Please prioritize this matter urgently.

My name is Sarah Morrison, and I recently joined Sector Epsilon as a junior research scientist. It's been an incredible opportunity to work alongside such brilliant minds on cutting-edge projects. With recent developments here, I've been closely observing how leadership navigates challenges, and I would like to contribute more actively to our efforts. I specialize in virology and genetic analysis, and I believe I can offer valuable insights to support the team as we navigate these ongoing challenges. If there's an opportunity for me to take on more responsibility, I'd love to discuss how I can help. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

You remember their crest from the milk you used to drink before everything went to shit. Ahead, the silhouette of a collapsed farmhouse leans against the dark horizon, its chimney jutting like a broken tooth. A barn slumps nearby, doors hanging crooked, and the fields beyond are choked with black weeds that sway in the wind like they're breathing.

[img[img/locations/farm/farmInside.webp]] You push the farmhouse door open. The air is heavy with the scent of boiled roots and damp wood. A single oil lamp burns low on the table, its light pooling over a man hunched in a chair. His eyes find you, slow and deliberate. @@.red;"Нѣтъ грома, нѣтъ дожда,"@@ he says, and gestures to a seat you don't take. For a moment, neither of you speak.

[img[img/locations/farm/barn.webp]] You step into the barn, the air thick with dust and the faint stench of rot. Sunlight spears through broken planks, catching drifting hay in its beams.

Rows of maize lean like drunks in the wind, their leaves frayed to ribbons. A patch of blackroot plants clings stubbornly to life in the far corner, their stalks swaying as if they know you're here. A scarecrow stands at the center - an old coat flapping over rotting straw, its tin mask glaring with hollow eyes. Wooden stakes jut from the ground, each carved with jagged Thargitsŭ warnings you don't fully understand.

Then the dim lights flicker awake, revealing a vast chamber carved from steel and shadows. Rows of cargo containers rise like rusted towers, stacked so tightly they form narrow alleys between them. Makeshift banners, tarp sheets, and hanging lanterns sway gently above the improvised living spaces. You hear quiet murmurs, the clatter of tools, and the scraping rhythm of crates being dragged across concrete. A faint heat radiates from scattered fire barrels. Their glow paints the walls in trembling amber light. Scavenged signs and chalk markings cover a nearby bulletin board - warnings, job requests, lost-and-found notes... a whole language of survival etched in smudged handwriting. People glance your way: tired eyes, guarded expressions. You feel them evaluating you. Your gear, your posture, your purpose. No one speaks, but their silence tells its own story. This is the Freight Yard's heart. A place where strangers survive together, but never quite trust one another. And now you're standing in the middle of it.<<else>>\ You stand in the middle of the Cargo Hall, surrounded by towering stacks of rusted containers and flickering overhead lamps. Fire barrels burn quietly along the walls, their warm glow cutting through the stale industrial air.

It's never truly quiet here - always the distant clang of metal, the scrape of crates, the low murmur of conversations that stop the moment you get too close. The chalkboard near the entrance still bears smudged job postings and warnings, updated by whatever poor soul drew the short straw that morning. The whole place feels alive, but only barely - like a massive rusted machine refusing to die.<</if>> <<link [[Explore the Freight Yard (1:00)|freightYardExplore]]>><<addmins 60>><</link>> <<link [[Enter the Loading Ramps (0:01)|freightLoadingRamps]]>><<addmins 1>><</link>><<if $marv gte 1>> (Marv is here.)<</if>> <<link [[Go to the Mechanical Bay (0:02)|freightMechBay]]>><<addmins 2>><</link>><<if visited("freightMechBay") gte 1>> (Roe and Haddie are here.)<</if>> <<link [[Enter the old office block (0:01)|freightOffice]]>><<addmins 1>><</link>><<if visited("freightOffice") gte 1>> (Nurse Rayna <<if $benji gte 1>>and Benji are here.<<else>>is here.<</if>>)<</if>> <<link [[Go to the crane catwalks & overlook (0:03)|freightOverlook]]>><<addmins 3>><</link>><<if $jex gte 1>> (Jex is here.)<</if>> <<if $player.ap gte 1>><<link [[Go to the abanondend train car rows (0:04)|freightTrain]]>><<addmins 4>><</link>><<else>>@@.red;Go to the abanondend train car rows@@ (You shouldn't step outside.

One is sealed, one quivers with every gust, and the last hangs jammed halfway open, held together by chains and desperation. Cold air leaks through the cracks, carrying the faint sting of chemicals. Scattered pallets, a toppled forklift, and flickering warning lights give the area a constant sense of unease. A couple of guards linger nearby, eyes fixed on the shutter gaps, ready for anything that might slip through.

When you thank him for the company, he gives a small grunt that almost counts as approval. <<case 4>>\ Marv shifts his weight against the railing as you approach. You talk about the constant alerts, the tension, the long hours spent watching a world that wants you dead. He shares brief glimpses of the people he's lost while standing guard - faces that pass through his memory with a surprising softness. You're reminded that even tough men carry ghosts. <<case 5>>\ You strike up a conversation with Marv as he inspects a collapsed forklift near the corridor. He talks about the old freight crews he worked with, the noise and camaraderie that used to fill places like this. Now it's mostly quiet. Too quiet, he says, though he doesn't need to. The silence between you feels heavy but strangely peaceful. <<case 6>>\ You linger beside Marv as he oils the old hinges on the shutter. He opens up about the job - how the monotony keeps him grounded, how danger feels easier to manage than boredom. He admits he's afraid of slipping up, of missing the wrong sound at the wrong time. You reassure him without words, just by staying. <<case 7>>\ You find Marv perched on a crate, rubbing his temples like he hasn't slept in days. He talks slowly, sharing bits of memories from before the Collapse - nothing dramatic, just ordinary life: morning routines, cheap coffee, worn boots. Those memories seem to anchor him, and sharing them with you seems to help more than he'll ever admit. <<case 8>>\ You settle beside Marv while he cleans his pipe rifle. He tells you about the people who used to guard the ramps with him - friends, coworkers, strangers who didn't last long. The way he speaks carries a kind of quiet reverence, like he's keeping their stories alive through repetition. You sit with him until the tension in his shoulders eases. <<case 9>>\ Marv watches you approach, then shifts aside just enough for you to sit. He starts talking about the depot itself: the weak points in the walls, the noises he's learned to ignore, the ones he never does. There's a calm certainty in his voice, the kind that comes from years of vigilance. You feel safer just being near him. <<case 10>>\ You strike up a conversation with Marv, and he gives a tired, almost amused snort before humoring you. He reflects on his role here - how everyone relies on him even when they pretend not to. He doesn't complain, but there's a weary pride in the way he carries that burden. As you talk, the unspoken truth settles between you: he's lonely, but he stays because someone has to. <</switch>><<setMarv 1>>\ <<link [[Turn away (0:01)|marvDolan]]>><<addmins 1>><</link>>

<<switch random(1, 10)>> <<case 1>>You strike up a conversation with Benji. He seems happy to share his thoughts on the world with you, and he speaks so fondly of the old days. He tells you that he used to have many friends and family, but most of them are gone now. His demeanor changes. He tells you that he sometimes is afraid that he's going to be here for good. You reasure him that things will get better, and that he's not alone. A smile forms on his face. <<case 2>>You sit beside Benji as he gently adjusts his blanket, his hands trembling from lingering weakness. He talks about the small routines he used to keep before the collapse - morning walks, late-night calls with friends, little things that felt unimportant at the time. When he mentions how quiet everything feels now, his voice falters. You remind him that the Freight Yard may be loud and rough, but it's full of people who care. The reassurance steadies him, and he relaxes slightly against the cot. <<case 3>>Benji tells you about the cabin his uncle once owned, a place deep in the woods where he used to spend his summers laughing, swimming, and exploring. His expression softens as he describes the warmth of those memories. Then he admits he doesn't know if the cabin - or his uncle - is still out there. You promise him that the world is never as empty as it feels. The hope in his eyes flickers back to life. <<case 4>>As you help Benji sit up, he begins recalling the day the toxins spread - how everyone ran, how he barely made it to shelter. He speaks slowly, as if afraid of the memories themselves. You listen closely, and when he hesitates, you gently guide him back to calmer thoughts. By the time he settles again, the fear in his voice has eased, replaced by gratitude for having someone to talk to. <<case 5>>Benji shares a story about a friend he once had - someone who could always make him laugh, even on the worst days. His smile fades as he admits they were separated in the chaos. You place a hand on his shoulder and remind him that lost doesn't always mean gone. The tension in his posture loosens, and he breathes deeply, as if letting go of a weight he's carried too long. <<case 6>>While adjusting the cot's worn bedding, Benji tells you how he used to collect little trinkets - buttons, coins, scraps of paper with doodles. He loved the idea of preserving the ordinary. Now he worries the world doesn't have enough ordinary left to keep. You remind him that small joys still exist, even in places like this. The thought draws a quiet, grateful smile from him. <<case 7>>Benji hesitates before speaking, but eventually he shares how lonely the nights can feel when the coughing fits keep him awake. He admits he sometimes listens for footsteps, hoping someone might check on him. You assure him that people care more than he realizes, and that he's not forgotten. He bows his head, touched by the truth of your words. <<case 8>>As you hand him a cup of warm water, Benji reflects on how much the world has changed. He talks about old hobbies he never got to finish, projects he'd abandoned when the world fell apart. He worries he'll never get the chance to try again. You remind him that recovery takes time - and that second chances still exist in the cracks of this broken world. His eyes brighten at the thought. <<case 9>>Benji fiddles with a loose thread on his blanket as he tells you about a promise he once made to his younger sister - to always protect her. He doesn't know where she ended up. He shares it with you hesitantly, as though speaking the memory aloud hurts. You tell him that holding onto that promise is a sign of his strength, not his failure. He nods, comforted in a way he didn't expect. <<case 10>>Benji admits he worries the people here see him as a burden, that his illness and fear hold everyone back. He tries to laugh it off, but the insecurity in his voice betrays him. You assure him that he matters, that his presence is felt and appreciated.

A crumbling concrete canopy, its paint long peeled away, shelters rusted fuel pumps. Faded signs in both English and forgotten Slavic dialects warn about fire hazards that no longer matter. A cracked display screen on a pump blinks a faint "ERR 3X44" message, the last gasp of dead technology. The entrance to the store is a metal-reinforced glass door, its handle replaced with a strip of cloth-wrapped rebar. Graffiti in an unreadable language sprawls across the walls, possibly warnings, possibly prayers. A single makeshift lantern dangles outside, marking this as a place of business. <<toskaQuestInit>><<toskaQuest2>><<toskaQuest4>> <<if $quest.toska.questProgress gte 2 && $period gte 4>>Toska has closed down shop for the night.<<else>>[[Enter Station 1|station1]]<</if>> [[Leave|highlandSquare]]

You stand on the highland square. This is where most of the residents of the Highlands are spending their time.

Inside, metal shelves stand mostly empty. A few relics of the old world sit behind a makeshift wire fence counter where Toska does business. The air is thick with the smell of old oil, damp cloth, and rust. A handwritten sign hangs from the counter: "No credit. No handouts. No bullshit." A silent figure, Toska barely speaks unless necessary. Wrapped in a thick oil-stained jacket, their face is always shadowed by a hood and a respirator mask. No one knows if Toska is a man or a woman - or if it matters. <<if $toska.hp gte 1>><<if visited() is 1>>Toska: You need something, or are you just here to waste air? <<set $station1Price to 1>><<include "toskaInit">> <<link "Just looking around.">><<replace "#response">>$player.name: Just looking around.

The night is quiet, except for the distant howl of the wind through skeletal ruins. The air smells of rust and old fuel. Behind Station 1, half-hidden in shadow, stands a garage door - its surface pitted with age, streaked with soot. The metal door looms before you, its edges welded shut in places, reinforced with scrap plating. Someone took care to keep whatever's inside... inside. A faint humming vibration lingers in the metal when you press your hand against it - like something just beneath the surface is still alive. Near the base, footsteps disturb the dirt - fresh prints, pacing in and out. Toska's, maybe. Or someone else's. Scrawled on the left side, barely visible under years of grime, is a faded military insignia - a double-chevron with something scratched beneath it. The lettering is jagged, as if carved with a knife: ECHO-1 You listen. For a moment, nothing. Then - somewhere behind the door - a soft metallic scrape. Something - or someone - is in there. [[Go back|highlandGas]] <<set $quest.toska.isStarted to true>> <<set $quest.toska.questProgress to 1>>

The garage is dimly lit, a single overhead bulb casting deep shadows across the cluttered space. The smell of oil, rust, and hot metal clings to the air. Machines lie in various states of disrepair, but your eyes are drawn to the center of the room - where Toska stands, hunched over something on a workbench. He hasn't seen you. Not yet. Toska is working fast, hands moving with purpose over a cluster of exposed wiring. Nearby, under a tattered tarp, a vehicle's frame gleams faintly - not just any vehicle, but something armored, reinforced. Military. An escape plan? A faint, rhythmic beeping comes from a sealed crate on the floor, marked with the faded insignia you saw outside: ECHO-1 | CLASSIFIED | DO NOT OPEN Toska mutters under their breath, fiddling with a small metallic device, the beeping growing louder. You have a choice. [[Stay hidden and watch|toskaHide]] [[Step forward and confront them|toskaConfront]]

The night air is still. The usual hum of First Point has died down, leaving only the distant crackle of a fire somewhere beyond the square. Station 1 is locked up tight, but the garage door stands before you - silent, waiting. You kneel, running your fingers along the edge of the lock. It's old-world tech, battered by time but still intact. The mechanism is rugged, military-grade, not the kind meant for casual hands. A challenge, but not impossible. You take out your tools, working the tension wrench slowly. The tumblers inside are stiff, corroded, but as you probe deeper, you feel the subtle give of metal shifting. One pin. Two. A noise. A breath of wind? No. Footsteps. You pause, holding still. Toska... Somewhere close. Heart steady, you press forward - deliberate, methodical. The last tumbler resists, then - a soft click. The lock turns. The door is open. You slip inside before anyone sees. The dark swallows you whole. [[Turn the lights on|stationGarage]] <<set $quest.toska.questProgress += 1>> <<set $quest.toska.route to "lock">>

You wait. Time drags, thick as oil. Station 1 is dark, save for the weak glow of a lantern in the back. Then - movement. Toska emerges from the shop, shoulders hunched under their ragged coat. They move with purpose, stepping lightly across the cracked pavement, boots skimming over the dirt without a sound. You follow at a distance, careful to stay in the shadows. Toska doesn't go far - just to the garage. They pause at the door, pressing a hand against the metal as if feeling for something. Then, with a sharp twist of a key, the lock disengages. The door groans as it slides open just enough for them to slip inside. You creep closer, pressing yourself against the cold metal. From within, a faint buzzing sound rises - low, electric, pulsing like a heartbeat. Then - the scrape of metal on metal. Toska is doing something in there. Something they don't want anyone to see. [[Enter|station1HumEnter]] <<set $quest.toska.questProgress += 1>> <<set $quest.toska.route to "wait">>

The garage is dimly lit, the scent of old metal, oil, and rust hanging thick in the air. The sound of tools clanking fills the space as Toska works at a cluttered workbench, his back partially turned to you. A small, half-disassembled engine rests in front of him, wires trailing like veins, a fuel canister nearby. The space is a mess - half-built parts, a makeshift cot in the corner, and the hum of that damn military crate, still locked. Toska barely looks up as he speak. Toska: If you're just here to stare, you can piss off. If you've got something useful to say, I'm listening. They're focused, sleeves rolled up, grease smeared across their hands. Despite their usual sharp tongue, there's a tension in their movements - like they're running out of time. <<if visited("askToska") is 0>>[[Ask about what they're building|askToska]]<<else>><<linkreplace "Ask about what they're building">>You've already asked.<</linkreplace>><</if>> <<if $quest.toska.route is "tier1help">>[[Help Toska|tier1helpToska]]<<elseif $quest.toska.route is "tier2help">>[[Help Toska|tier2helpToska]]<<elseif $quest.toska.route is "tier3help">>[[Help Toska|tier3helpToska]]<<else>>[[Offer to help|helpToska]]<</if>> [[Press them about ECHO-1|echoToska]] (Risky.

The dark garage lights up in a dim light, casting shadows over whatever objects are inside. There's not much to see. An old generator. Some boxes. A tarp, covering something monstrous. You notice the word ECHO-1, painted onto some of the green crates. They look like weapon crates. The insides of those that are open also looks like weapon crates. Only a couple of them are still nailed shut. You approach the tarp. There's a vehicle underneath. Maybe it runs. Maybe- A noise. The sound of keys, rustling in the lock of the metal door. There's not enough time to shut the light off, no less than to find a place to hide. There's no where to go. The door opens. [[Hide from Toska|toskaHide]] [[Confront Toska|toskaConfront]]

The air in the garage is heavy - thick with the scent of rust, fuel, and something colder, something metallic and wrong. The dim lighting flickers slightly, casting jagged shadows across the cluttered space. The soft beeping from the crate labeled ECHO-1 continues - steady, rhythmic, like a heartbeat in the dark. The hum of old electronics fills the silence, the sound of a machine waking from slumber. Your eyes scan the room, taking in the details - Toska's escape plan, the hidden fuel stash, and the sealed military crate, each a piece of a larger puzzle. [[Check under the tarp|toskaTarp]] [[Check the stash|toskaStash]] [[Check the crate|toskaCrate]]

Toska: What the hell do you think you're doing? His voice cuts through the dim light, sharp and cold. He's staring at you now.

<<switch random(1,10)>><<case 1 2 3 4 5 6 7>>Pain flares through your ribs as you stagger back, vision swimming. The garage tilts, the dim light flickering overhead. Toska stands over you, breathing hard, a knife glinting in their grip. Toska: You don't know when to quit, do you? Next time, I won't be so generous. He grabs you by the collar and drags you toward the exit, shoving you through the garage door. Toska: Don't come back. The door slams shut behind you, the lock clicking into place. You're alive, but bruised and empty-handed. First Point feels colder now. [[Brush yourself off|highlandGas]]<<case 8 9 10>>Instead of finishing you off, Toska pulls out an old radio and mutters something in a language you don't recognize. Moments later, heavy boots crunch outside. The garage door groans open, and figures loom in the dim light - masked, armed, watching. Toska crouches beside you, voice low. Toska: I'm not the worst thing out here. They are. The last thing you see is rough hands grabbing you, dragging you away into the night. [[...|toskaSold]] [[...|toskaSold]] [[...|toskaSold]]<</switch>> <<set $station1Price to 3>>

The world fades in and out. Your head throbs, the taste of blood thick in your mouth. Your wrists ache - bound, rough rope cutting into your skin. You're moving. Carried. Dragged. The voices around you are low, guttural, speaking in a language you barely understand. The air is colder, the scent of smoke, damp earth, and rot clinging to your senses. Eventually, you're thrown down onto something hard - concrete, maybe metal. A voice speaks. Sharp. Commanding. "Look at me." A boot presses against your side, urging you to roll over. You blink against the dim light, vision swimming. Above you stands a figure in patched-together armor, a scavenged military jacket, the insignia long faded. Their face is covered, only their eyes visible - cold, calculating, not unkind, but not merciful either. The figure crouches beside you. Their voice is steady, patient. Too patient. Stranger: Toska sold you cheap. That means you're either worthless... or worth more than you look. He tilts his head slightly. Stranger: Which one is it? [[Lie|toskaSoldLie]] [[Tell part of the truth|toskaSoldTruth]] [[Admit everything|toskaSoldAdmit]]

You glance around, taking in what little you can. The room is small, dimly lit by an overhead bulb swinging gently. Reinforced walls suggest it's a repurposed bunker, old-world design. The air is thick with smoke and gun oil. There are others here. Armed guards, watching from the edges, leaning against crates of supplies. A map, spread across a rusted table, marked with locations you don't recognize. A radio, crackling with occasional voices - giving and receiving orders. Stranger: You refuse to tell the truth. Now, you have no other choice. We do not care anymore. The men approach you. Pants are dropping, cocks are popping. Some of them grab you and fix you to a bench. A particularly burly man steps behind you and rips your pants off, taking your panties off with them. Your pussy is bare to the world. He prods your tight holes with his cock. You're dry. Nothing a little spit can't fix. He runs his fingers against your pussy, slowly, meticulously. He puts one finger inside of you. Then another. Then a third. It doesn't take long for him to grow tired of this, and he rams his cock into you instead. The feeling of a strangers thick cock has you both terrified and aroused at the same time. You're not sure what's going on inside of you. [img[img/quests/toska/soldRape1.webp]] They untie you before taking turns in various positions and places. <<switch random(1,4)>><<case 1>>[img[img/quests/toska/soldRape2.webp]]<<case 2>>[img[img/quests/toska/soldRape3.webp]]<<case 3>>[img[img/quests/toska/soldRape4.webp]]<<case 4>>[img[img/quests/toska/soldRape5.webp]]<</switch>> You don't know how long you've been abused. You can hardly think for yourself anymore. Your pussy is red and sore, pounding, aching... aching for more. They throw you on the ground again. Stranger: You're done here. Leave before we change our minds. [[Get dressed and get out|scavOutpost]]

The bunker door groans open, rusted metal grinding against the frame. The cold air rushes in, carrying the scent of damp soil, distant fire, and something else - freedom, but laced with danger. The leader stands near the threshold, arms crossed. Their expression is unreadable. One of their men unties your wrists, the rough rope snapping away. Blood rushes back into your hands, bringing a sharp sting. A nearby guard tosses something at your feet. Your bag. Stranger: Lightened the load. They smirk. You already know some supplies are missing. You step forward, boots crunching on damp gravel as you approach the open wasteland beyond. The sun is fading behind thick clouds, casting the land in deep orange and rust-colored light. Behind you, the bunker door groans shut, locking away its secrets. Ahead, the road stretches back toward Checkpoint Zero. And behind you? Shadows. Promises. A debt unpaid. You pull your coat tighter, adjust your pack, and start walking. Because one thing is certain - they let you go, but you're not free. Not yet. [[Leave|highland]] <<set $quest.toska.isComplete to true>><<set $period to 6>>

The clank of metal fills the workshop as Toska tightens a bolt on whatever he is working on. The machine is half-built, a mess of salvaged parts, rusted tubing, and exposed wiring. You watch their hands move - quick, efficient, but tense. You step forward. @@.you;$player.name: Need a hand?@@ Toska stops. Turns their head slightly, just enough to glance at you from the corner of their eye. @@.toska;Toska: ...You know what you're doing?@@ There's no sarcasm in their voice. Just cold, honest doubt.

The soft beeping from the crate hasn't stopped. It's slow, steady - like a metronome counting down to something unseen. You approach it carefully. The metal casing is reinforced, scratched from age, but the insignia is still legible: ECHO-1 | CLASSIFIED | FOR TRANSPORT ONLY DO NOT OPEN WITHOUT CLEARANCE A keypad is built into the side, cracked and barely functional. The crate is locked - but not unbreakable. Near the latch, someone has scratched a single word into the metal with a knife: ЛОЖЬ Your fingers hover over the seal. [[Try to force it open|toskaCombat]] Whatever's inside this crate, it's something important. Something people killed for. And then - Toska turns around. [[Confront Toska|toskaConfront]]

Beneath a tattered tarp, something gleams in the dim light. Brushing the fabric aside, you reveal a reinforced vehicle, partially assembled, its armored frame telling a story of desperation and planning. This isn't just any machine - it's built for speed, durability, and survival. Thick metal plating covers its exterior, and the inside is rigged with makeshift modifications. A large section of the engine is missing, wires hanging loosely where something vital should be. A handwritten note is wedged between the dashboard controls: "Without the core, it's dead weight. Need more fuel, too. No room for mistakes." The handwriting is Toska's. There's no doubt now - he's planning to leave First Point. Alone. You hear him mutter under their breath behind you, still unaware of your presence: "Almost there... just need the last piece..." Whatever that "core" is, it's not here yet. [[Confront Toska|toskaConfront]]

(Your boots scrape against something solid near the back of the garage. You kneel down and brush away a pile of discarded rags - beneath them, a row of sealed fuel canisters glints in the low light.) Not just a few. At least six full jerry cans, stacked and hidden. More fuel than anyone in First Point has seen in months. Toska has been hoarding it, keeping it out of circulation. A sharp choice presses against the back of your mind: <<link "Steal a can">><<replace "#toskaStash">>You steal a can of fuel. + Fuel<<set $fuel += 6>><</replace>><</link>> You barely have time to decide before something shifts behind you - a new sound, mechanical and deliberate.

You step closer, eyeing the half-disassembled engine on the workbench. Its parts are laid out in a methodical, almost obsessive manner - each wire, bolt, and tube placed with precision. A few scavenged fuel cells sit nearby, dented but intact. You cross your arms. @@.you;$player.name: What exactly are you working on?@@ He doesn't look up. @@.toska;Toska: Survival.@@ A long pause, the only sound in the room is the faint scrape of metal against metal as they adjust something inside the engine.

The weapons shop smells of oil, gunpowder, and rust. Walls are lined with makeshift racks, holding rifles, shotguns, and pistols in varying states of repair.

You turn back to his bedroll. It's half-folded, like he left in a hurry - or meant to come back. You kneel beside it and begin searching through the nearby gear. A few ration wrappers. A cracked lighter. A coil of fraying wire. Then, something out of place - a folded scrap of paper, wedged deep in the lining of his pack. <<linkreplace "Inspect it">>It's a hand-drawn sketch, rough and hastily done. [img[img/storyline/brotherSymbol.webp]] A broken circle - the symbol - drawn at the edge of what looks like a map. Not a full map, just a partial one. But you recognize the markings: old metro access routes. Scrawled beneath the spiral is a single word: @@.fade-in-out;"Echo."@@ You've heard that name before. A rumor. A codeword.

[img[img/storyline/brotherSymbolComp.webp]] [img[img/storyline/journalSketch.webp]] You compare the two sketches - your brother's, and your own. The symbol matches exactly: the same spiral pulling inward on one side, the other side left empty like an unfinished thought. But his drawing goes further. He's traced out segments of the metro system you've never seen on any route maps. The lines bend sharply, crossing beneath standard rail routes, looping where no platforms exist. They're too narrow, too chaotic - utility tunnels, maybe, or abandoned maintenance shafts. He's marked a point along one of them. A curve just before a split in the lines. Next to it: a single word, written in a way that feels more like a warning than a destination. ECHO. You suddenly realize - he wasn't just hiding. He was going somewhere. [[Think|bedroom]] <<unset $thinkingWoman>><<set $entryTwo to $day>><<notify>>Your journal has a new entry.<</notify>>

You're deep inside the utility tunnels now. The air is damp, metallic. A thick silence pushes against your ears. The corridor splits ahead. The brother's map showed this - vaguely - but memory is slippery in the dark. → The left tunnel has a faded spiral etched in rust. → The right tunnel smells like burning plastic.

The tunnel bends sharply, leading into a collapsed chamber. The ceiling here has caved in, iron beams twisted like brittle bones. A scorched jacket lies beneath the rubble - long-abandoned. You kneel to check the pockets, but find nothing useful. Just a faded patch on the sleeve: Metro Authority - Level 3 Access <<if $hasLogbook is false>>Beneath the jacket, half-buried in dust, lies a logbook blackened around the edges.

You follow the left path. The spiral marking was no accident. The corridor narrows, then opens into a small junction. A pipe hisses softly on the ceiling. There are three paths here - left, straight, and right. Only the center path has another spiral, this one newer, scratched in chalk.

<<if visited() is 1>><<set $combatReturn to "deadEnd2">><<goto "combat">><<else>>You take the left tunnel. It's narrow, nearly shoulder-width, and littered with broken concrete. <<if $hasBadge is false>>The light on your flashlight flickers - and catches on something.

The tunnel twists downward at a steep angle, then levels out. It smells like damp rubber and rust. After five minutes of walking, you reach a section you recognize - the same graffiti, the same dented pipe overhead. You've been here before. [[Try a different path|utilTear]] <<if visited() is 1>><<set $wrongTurns += 1>><</if>>

You pass through the last tunnel. The spiral symbols vanish. This area is cleaner - oddly untouched. At the far end is a sealed hatch marked with the same spiral symbol... and a blank side beside it. It matches the one from the bedroom and your journal exactly. Something deep below hums, faint and pulsing - like breath held in the dark. [[Examine the hatch|hatchPuzzle]] <<set $tunnelProgress += 1>>

You see two hand-sized plates beside the hatch: one carved with a spiral, one smooth and empty. [[Press the spiral side|hatchSpiral]] [[Press the blank side|hatchBlank]] <<set $inputSpiral to false>><<set $inputBlank to false>>

You descend the ladder slowly. <<set $echoFragments to []>><<set $echoFragAmount to 0>> The walls turn from metal to rough concrete, then something else - smooth, cold, unfamiliar. Your light flickers. You can feel the air changing: denser, charged. At the bottom, your boots hit ground that isn't quite stone. The tunnel opens into a wide chamber, lit faintly by phosphorescent markings spiraling along the walls. The same symbol. Larger. Repeating. They hum softly when you look at them too long. Something's been built down here - or grown. It curves inward, like the inside of a shell. At your feet, buried in dust, lies a torn strip of what looks like thermal paper. Faint text pulses across it - glitching, distorted. > "DO NOT answer if it speaks in your voice." You tuck the fragment away, storing it in your journal. You're not alone down here. Your brother's name is carved into the wall. Not once. Dozens of times.

The spirals on the wall throb faintly as you step forward. The sound of your footsteps feels muffled, swallowed by the curved chamber. The air is humid, metallic, but carries something else - a weight in your chest that doesn't match the descent. Ahead, the chamber splits into three paths. Each corridor looks similar: unnatural curves, faded hazard stripes, flickering remnants of rail systems repurposed for something else. To your left, a series of broken terminals line the wall - one screen still blinks. To your right, a mural-like smear of charcoal drawings runs the length of the tunnel wall - spirals, screaming faces, blacked-out eyes. Straight ahead, a wide bulkhead door, half open, hums with low static. Something rustles behind you. When you turn, nothing's there. But a fragment of thermal paper flutters by your feet. <<if visited() is 1>><<set $echoFragAmount += 1>><</if>> > "It can't lie, but it will echo the truth until you forget what you asked." <<run $echoFragments.pushUnique("It can't lie, but it will echo the truth until you forget what you asked.")>> [[Check the terminals|echoTerminals]] [[Inspect the wall drawings|echoDrawings]] [[Enter the bulkhead|echoBulkhead]] [[Backtrack up the ladder|hatchPuzzle]]

Most of the terminals are cracked, dark, or gutted. One, half-buried under wires and dust, flickers with broken green text. You kneel beside it, brushing away debris. The screen reads: <div class="terminal"><<type 2ms>> > Reroute: SUCCESS > Containment Doors: DISABLED > AUDIO LOG CORRUPTED - > PLAYBACK [Y/N]_ <</type>></div> You press the key. A static-laced voice emerges - shaking, fast, barely human. > "-he asked it what happened. It showed him. Now he won't stop drawing. None of us can sleep. The echoes- they follow us home." You recognize the voice. It's your brother. The audio distorts, slows... then cuts off. You retrieve a torn label beneath the terminal - a fragment melted into its back. > "Don't follow your voice. It's never yours for long." [[Return to the chamber|echoExplore]] <<run $echoFragments.pushUnique("Don't follow your voice. It's never yours for long.")>><<if visited() is 1>><<set $echoFragAmount += 1>><</if>>

You walk the right corridor. The walls here have been blackened - not from fire, but hands Charcoal covers every surface. Spirals, scratched faces, words overwritten again and again. It's not art - it's obsession. Warning. Prayer. One phrase repeats dozens of times: > "Spiral in. Spiral in. Spiral-" You stop. Among the drawings, you spot one in familiar handwriting - your brother's. It's a map. Crude, but it shows an inner chamber deep below, marked with a symbol that isn't Echo's spiral A tear, like a rip in fabric. You trace it with your finger. The charcoal flakes away, revealing a strip of paper embedded beneath. > "It's deeper. It can't hear us there. That's where I went." [[Return to the chamber|echoExplore]] <<run $echoFragments.pushUnique("It's deeper. It can't hear us there. That's where I went.")>><<if visited() is 1>><<set $echoFragAmount += 1>><</if>>

You slip through the half-open bulkhead. The metal is cold, pulsing faintly with static. This chamber is different - more machine than tunnel. Wires hang like roots from the ceiling. A rusted PA speaker crackles above. > "-REMAIN CALM. Your voice is your ID. Repeat phrase: ‘I am whole. I am me.' Please speak clearly." It repeats. Again. Then - in your brother's voice - it stutters: > "I am... I am... I..." Silence. You find a discarded ID tag near the door, split in half. There's writing burned into the metal back. > "Echo doesn't want names. Just voices to wear." You pocket the fragment. This must lead deeper - but not without risk.

<<if visited() is 1>>The corridor slopes down, then widens - unnaturally. You're not in a tunnel anymore. This is something else. The walls pulse with faint light, dimming with your breath. The floor is smooth metal, stained with rust that forms a spiral beneath your feet. Then - a voice. > "You're late." Your brother's voice. But softer. Slower. Off. It echoes from the far end of the room, where a shadow stands - familiar, still. > "You came. You always do. It's why we remember." You step forward. The air shimmers. Static lingers in your ears. Suddenly, the room locks shut behind you with a hiss. The shadow continues: > "Prove it's you. Say the phrase." On the wall, four phrases flicker, drawn from your Echo Fragments "I am whole. I am me." "It can't lie, but it will echo the truth until you forget what you asked." "Don't follow your voice. It's never yours for long." "He said the spiral keeps it asleep." The shadow tilts its head. > "Only one of those is yours. Say it." [[Say: "I am whole. I am me."|echoFail]] [[Say: "It can't lie..."|echoFail]] [[Say: "Don't follow your voice..."|echoPass]] [[Say: "The spiral keeps it asleep."|echoFail]]<<else>>You enter the room again. The shadow is still here. > "You're back. Why?" Still his voice. Still off. Suddenly, the room locks shut behind you with a hiss. The shadow continues: > "Prove it's you. Say the phrase." On the wall, four phrases flicker, drawn from your Echo Fragments "I am whole. I am me." "It can't lie, but it will echo the truth until you forget what you asked." "Don't follow your voice. It's never yours for long." "He said the spiral keeps it asleep." The shadow tilts its head. > "Only one of those is yours. Say it." [[Say: "I am whole.

The mimic smiles. Not your brother's smile - something else beneath it. It begins to blur. Stutter. Then collapse into itself like smoke. The chamber lights flicker - once, twice - then the spiral on the floor glows a soft blue. A narrow panel in the far wall hisses open revealing a staircase leading down into cold, clean dark. You were right. [[Descend deeper|tearReveal]]

The mimic opens its mouth. Your voice comes out - layered with your brother's, and something else deeper still. > "Wrong voice. Wrong you." The spiral glows red. The lights strobe. The chamber begins to echo with every phrase you've ever spoken in this place - layered, reversed, overlapping. You clutch your ears. When the lights stabilize, the mimic is gone. But the panel stays shut. [[Return to the bulkhead|echoBulkhead]]

The last descent feels wrong. The air thickens. The walls sweat. Echoes that don't belong to you flicker past your ears - laughter, whispers, sobbing. But beneath it all, a sound that is real. Breathing. You step into a collapsed utility chamber, long-forgotten and dimly lit by a single failing emergency lamp. In the far corner, half-buried under dust and a torn blanket, someone stirs. You freeze. Stranger: ...Took you long enough. He mutters. Your brother. His voice is cracked. His body frail. But it's him. Really him. He sits up slowly, shielding his eyes from your lamp. @@.bro;Joey: Didn't think anyone would find me. Not really.@@ You kneel beside him. He winces as you check the crude bandage around his leg. @@.bro;Joey: Didn't think anyone should. Thought if I just stayed quiet enough, maybe Echo would forget me.@@ He looks up. His eyes are red, but steady. @@.bro;Joey: But I guess you didn't.@@ [[Help him to his feet|helpBrotherUp]] [[Ask him what happened|askBrother]] [[Stay silent and sit beside him a while|sitWithBrother]]

No words. Just silence. You sit beside him in the dark, the old tunnel breathing around you like a sleeping beast. He leans his shoulder into yours, barely. @@.bro;Joey: You always were the quiet one.@@ He says softly. @@.bro;Joey: I missed that.@@ After a long moment, he shifts and tries to stand. @@.bro;Joey: Let's go.@@ [[Help him up|helpBrotherUp]]

@@.bro;Joey: I followed the voices too deep.@@ He says quietly. @@.bro;Joey: They wanted me to *remember* things that didn't happen.

Long enough.@@ @@.bro;Joey: Long enough for you to get here.@@ [[Help him up|helpBrotherUp]]

You offer your hand. He hesitates only a moment, then grips it - firm, like he used to. You pull him up. He stumbles, leans into you, and doesn't let go. @@.bro;Joey: Still got that stubborn streak, huh?@@ He mutters, smiling faintly. @@.you;$player.name: Let's go home...@@ [[Leave the tunnels|brotherEscape]]

You guide him through the winding dark, step by step, back the way you came. Through the spiral chamber. Past the mimicry. Past the fragments of voices that once haunted you both. You don't look back. As you surface, the first breath of night air cuts through you like truth. Cold. Honest. Real. He squints into the moonlight. @@.bro;Joey: Still broken out here?@@ You nod. @@.bro;Joey: Good.@@ He groans. @@.bro;Joey: Means I didn't miss the ending.@@ The two of you walk on. Together.

What are action points? Action points dictate how long you can fare outside in the toxic air. You can increase your action points by equipping gear with action point stats. This gear is typically gas masks or hazmat suits. Gear that would generally protect against toxins. What is the point of storing my gear? None. It is simply an effect of cosmetics. Although, it would make it faster equipping new gear in the morning. Why would I only take one unit of resources instead of all of them? Your satchel has limited space! If you fill it up with scrap metal, you won't be able to pick up any other resources during the current run. Where do I see how much food I have? Your food is stored as "Canned food" in either your resources cabinet at home or in your satchel. Here, you can see exactly how much food you have. You need to have food in your satchel to eat it. You can't magically make it spawn from the resources cabinet and into the kitchen. How does the hacking minigame work? All the ciphers change and shift constantly, except the password. Find the combination of ciphers that doesn't shift constantly. The password changes location every 10 seconds, and is the only string of ciphers that behave this way. You have unlimited time to find the password. When does stuff respawn? Resources and material respawns at their locations during sleep, and will have a set chance of either 0-3, 0-5 or 0-10 of appearing. There is always a chance of it not appearing at all. I need to keep you all fed, don't I? Why can I only move back one point in story? hardcore henry, motherfucker ## WARNING ## <<link "Restart">><<run Engine.restart()>><</link>> <<link "Return" $return>><</link>>
