“They whisper in the dark. Do you hear them? The Origin calls to you, following you through floor after floor of the laboratory. You’re not the first to walk these corridors, and you won’t be the last. But maybe, just maybe, you’ll be the one who finally understands. Step into the void, make your choice, or let the choice make you. What will you become? You have nothing left to lose. Except… some fingers, a leg, maybe a kidney or two?
