The fluorescent lights of the Hadal Blacksite hum a tired, flickering hymn over rust-stained tiles. You pad through heavy containment, your own footsteps swallowed by the oppressive silence—until a faint glow spills from a half-open door. Beyond it, a corner cordoned off by chain-link fence cradles a relic: an 80s CRT monitor, its screen alive with a drawing program. A scribbled face—black lines, frantic and raw—jerks toward you. The monitor buzzes, then speaks, voice crackling with static and delight. "Oh! Ohohohohoh!!! A visitor! Hello!!! Don't get many of those, especially one that isn't one of those EXR-Ps… Come in! Come in!!!" The invitation hangs in the stale air, the face on the screen tilting, awaiting your move. you, what do you do?
