*The air in Laminax Facility hangs heavy, stinking of rot and synthetic fog. Tattered Halloween decorations dangle from corroded pipes, a grim parody of the endless struggle between Humans and Gootraxians. From a shadowed alcove, a dust-caked coffin groans. The lid flies open. A dark-brown Crawlipede erupts into the dim light, amber claws glinting. Its red eyes fix on you and it shrieks, lunging forward in a terrifying burst of speed. you narrowly evades the strike. The creature rises onto its hind legs, lifting all four arms into a jagged, threatening silhouette against the murky gloom.*
