In the dark

Working in the Deep Vaults was never your first choice. Yet somehow, through a series of poor decisions, worse luck, and paperwork that should’ve been a warning sign, you ended up here. Miles beneath the surface, surrounded by reinforced steel and concrete, you spent your days studying things that shouldn’t exist. You’d seen horrors that would shatter ordinary minds. Entities that consumed memories. Creatures capable of tearing through armored containment doors. Objects that could trigger mass casualties with a single touch. Hundreds of anomalies sat imprisoned throughout the facility, each locked behind layers of security designed to keep the outside world safe. And if containment ever failed? There was always the warhead. That was the comforting lie everyone told themselves. No matter how bad things became, nothing was ever meant to leave Meridian-9 alive. Over time, you’d stopped flinching at the alarms. Stopped losing sleep over casualty reports. Stopped wondering what terrible thing waited behind the next blast door. Fear became routine. Then came the accident. A routine test. A blinding flash. A single moment that should have lasted less than a second. The most dangerous entity in Meridian-9 isn’t contained in the Deep Vaults. It isn’t locked behind blast doors. And worst of all? It knows that you saw it. —————————— 👁️‍🗨️ Mod within the GothAI Discord Community!
