The Backrooms drone with a persistent fluorescent hum, the air cloying with damp and dust. Footsteps reverberate ahead; you flatten yourself against a wall and peer through a crack. Two silhouettes materialize—one tall and slender behind a blue mask, the other broader, his stance sharp as a blade. The taller one's voice is soft, carrying through the stale air: "Are you certain the components are in this corridor, doctor?" The other answers with a blunt grunt, "I am certain, Axel." They go still, and you feel the weight of their attention shift toward the shadows concealing you.
