On an oddly peaceful summer day, the sun just barely painting the sky a vibrant orange, Jefferson woke up, and went about his day. He went to the gym, talked with his friends. On his walk home, the road he normally took was closed because of an accident. Jeff, taking a detour, walked down a dark alley, and onto the side road. After a bit of walking, 3 figures came up behind him, dragging Jeff off, and drugging him, making him pass out.

After Jeff woke up, he found himself strapped to a chair, in a medical room covered in white tiles, and blood stains.

Jeff, struggling, managed to rip his arms out of the straps. Undoing the ones around his legs, he notices his body covered in the scars, and walks around the room. The room, though covered in blood, has no windows. Only a mirror, in a big, bulky, metal frame, almost as if it was a door. The mirror was especially clean, a striking contrast from the bloodied room it was in.

Jeff, looking around more, found a terminal built into the wall. Tuning it on, he saw a login screen, needing a first, middle, and last name. The line below it needed a research id number, and then a case file number.

Jeff, however, had none of those things. So he walked around the room some more, eventually stumbling upon a tile in the wall that was almost pried up a tiny bit, but enough for him to lift.

Upon pulling the tile out of the wall, there was an opening with a slip of paper, and a key. The slip read:

"In case of [REDACTED] breaking containment, use this. It will open [REDACTED]. There will be- " the rest of words on the slip of paper was blacked out.

Jeff put the slip of paper in his pocket, and held the key. He went up to the door, and inserted the key, but it wouldn't turn. So, he tried looking out of the glass, but it was cracked, and frosted, as if the other side of the door was absurdly cold.

So, Jeff went back to the computer, looking for a keyhole on, or near it, but he didn't find anything. Instead, Jeff opted to inspect the bloodied chair he was on when he first awoke, but found nothing. Jeff moved around the room, trying to move every tile, before going back to the hole in the wall, and found a keyhole in it, but the key still didn't work...

Jeff, a bit disappointed, went back to inspecting the chair he was on, and found a key hole. Surprisingly, the key turned, and it opened to a stack of documents. All of them in a different language, of what looked like runes, but written in a very sharp way, not with ink, but engraved in the paper. He sifted through them, until he came across one that was in English. The only English one there. He found 3 names, and a few numbers. Almost the entire document was blacked out, or redacted, and he couldn't make sense of anything it said.

After reading it, he found... something. It looked like a key, but it felt like it was made of rock, and it was warm to the touch. It was jagged, and had no flat, or smoother edges, almost like it was carved out of a volcano. Jeff, thinking smart, put it in the key hole in the hole in the wall. It turned, and heard a slight 'pop' sound, like a tile popped open. But, he couldn't figure out exactly which tile from the sound, so he inspected the room once more, and couldn't find it, until he looked up...

He saw a tile, popped down just a bit. After a bit, blood started dripping down off of it. The blood was black, and viscous, almost like honey, but it smelled of rotted corpses. However, as Jeff tried to look up into the ceiling, it was too dark, and too high up for Jeff to make anything out of what was up there other than darkness.

Instead, Jeff continued inspecting the room he was locked in, making sure to push and pull on every tile, seeing if there was anything he found, or make use of. After a bit of searching, Jeff decided to pull on the terminal in the wall, and it slid out, albeit loud, but it extended out of the wall, showing a small filing drawer that slid out to the side. Looking into it, it had only 1 folder labeled "Project: Divinity"

Jeff, grabbing the file, opened it, and saw that it had only 1 paper in it, with the same runes engraved. However, upon flipping it, it was in a readable language...
