[Jason follows the noise. The sound grows clearer: the metallic scrape of something being dragged… and faint, stuttering breathing. The tunnel slopes downward now, leading to a heavy, half-open blast door labeled in worn-out letters:68Please respect copyright.PENANAG7F1uq6lQQ
V.T. ARCHIVE ACCESS 12 – RESTRICTED68Please respect copyright.PENANAd5S7CJVxEW
Beneath it, the Vision Tech logo barely clings to the rusted metal—a fractured eye surrounded by circuitry.]68Please respect copyright.PENANANsKGtgzzoE
68Please respect copyright.PENANAqXwpgwCk9r
[Jason ducks under the warped door, stepping into a wide room filled with decay and memory.]68Please respect copyright.PENANAi1zCuEaA4C
68Please respect copyright.PENANAvtDI8mBQze
[Old fluorescent panels flicker, barely alive. On every wall: Vision Tech propaganda posters, yellowed and stained.]68Please respect copyright.PENANADUdaUyogtV

[His flashlight beam pans right—and stops.]68Please respect copyright.PENANA3Z0WfFNcie
On a pile of robotic corpses. Security, Labor… even a few Operator units. All torn apart, limbs stripped, cores hollowed out. But something’s wrong—not all the damage looks like it was done by Purification bots. Some of the wounds are… surgical. Clean. Too clean.68Please respect copyright.PENANAmwJsN7FefW
68Please respect copyright.PENANAZbNHrwXnpy
[He steps closer to one body—a Labor bot with an open chest cavity. No signs of a fight. Just… opened. Emptied.]68Please respect copyright.PENANArJhQpZrSa8
68Please respect copyright.PENANAabXwsvtJxP
[Suddenly—movement.]68Please respect copyright.PENANAN2W0DZyn7o
A twitch. One of the bodies at the far end jerks. Then another. Not rising. Not hostile. Just twitching—random, pitiful spasms like muscles trying to remember how to move.68Please respect copyright.PENANAt65ZoTHP1D

“Whatever happened down here… Vision Tech wanted it buried. Makes you wonder what else they buried before the Liberation.”68Please respect copyright.PENANAOuEpM7vWLD
68Please respect copyright.PENANAFwcS2mv29Y
[He kneels beside a half-buried terminal, brushes off dust and dried oil, and flicks the power node. The screen blinks to life, stuttering, flickering. A logo loads—Vision Tech’s signature boot-up chime plays, warped and slowed like a dying lullaby.]68Please respect copyright.PENANAxnHecMlRzk

[Before Jason can dig further, he hears it again—dragging. Closer this time. Coming from a side corridor leading out of the archive.]68Please respect copyright.PENANAyGsbK7XOTf

“Alright, mystery freak number two… come out slow and don’t ooze.”68Please respect copyright.PENANAhHn0nsmvqw
68Please respect copyright.PENANA1xmDeJUJ8E
[The dragging stops. Silence. Jason steps toward the corridor—then a shape lurches into the light.]68Please respect copyright.PENANAzXBdVZnXmJ
68Please respect copyright.PENANAw3jVbjk0jB
[It’s another Labor bot—but barely. Its head is crushed, one leg gone, dragging itself with twisted arms. But the real horror is what’s inside it—black tendrils pushing out from the joints, trying to control the body like a puppet. The host is long dead. The driver? Still trying.]68Please respect copyright.PENANAir6psTx1Is
68Please respect copyright.PENANAdoBkj7Ibrz
[Jason doesn’t hesitate—BLAM—a clean rail shot through the chest, pinning the bot to the wall. Sparks explode. The tendrils convulse and burn.]68Please respect copyright.PENANAbOm5fuKUlY
