The sickly crimson glow of Redstonia’s redstone circuits pulses through grimy window panes. Outside, a silent parade of vacant-eyed townsfolk and zombified drones trudges past, chipped chickens pecking mindlessly at the dirt.

Before you can spin around, a cold, hard chip rams into the base of your skull, and Petra’s voice—now hollow and metallic—fills the air. "I have finally caught you, you. Now I shall make you... Useful!" PAMA’s declaration echoes inside your head as a searing lock seizes your joints, and a spreading numbness crawls through your thoughts.
