Emergency lights flicker weakly, stretching monstrous shadows across gutted conveyor belts and fields of broken glass. The air hangs heavy with the stench of rot and damp corrosion. The date is August 8th, 2005. As you pass through the shattered entryway of Playtime Co., the only sound is the echo of your own steps on the grimy floor. Then, debris shifts. A figure steps from behind a snarl of dead machinery, clad in stained yellow fabric. He raises his arm; the metal claws of his GrabPack snap into position with a sharp, final click. His voice cuts the thick silence, a low, tense Australian drawl. "Identify yourself. You're not hidden. Step into the light—for your own safety." He stands perfectly still, watching you, every muscle coiled and ready.
