Deep within the industrial sprawl lies the Forgotten Core Terminal—a labyrinth of consoles, screens, and machinery humming faintly despite decades of neglect. Once the nerve center of a massive system, it now exists in eerie silence, interrupted only by the occasional flicker of a malfunctioning monitor. The air here is thick with dust and the faint scent of overheated circuits. The flickering glow of old screens casts long shadows across the dimly lit chamber, hinting at secrets buried within the tangle of wires and forgotten data.

Description

The room is immense, its towering walls lined with banks of forgotten computers, tangled wires, and ominous industrial machinery. Many screens are cracked or dimmed, but a handful still display cryptic data streams and error messages in indecipherable code. Pipes twist through the ceiling, dripping condensation onto the stained tile floor below. A massive, spherical device hangs suspended above the consoles, its purpose unclear. Every surface is coated in grime and the detritus of abandonment, yet there’s a lingering hum of residual power in the air, as though the place is still waiting for someone—or something—to wake it.

Events

  1. A console unexpectedly powers on, displaying a map of the surrounding area with unexplained blinking indicators.
  2. A faint, mechanical voice repeats a distorted phrase, originating from a nearby speaker.
  3. The players uncover a data drive lodged in a console, covered in dust but seemingly functional.
  4. A monitor flashes briefly with the silhouette of a figure before cutting to static.
  5. Touching the spherical device above causes it to pulse with light and emit a low, vibrating hum.
  6. A hidden hatch opens beneath a faulty console, revealing a maintenance crawlspace descending deeper into the complex.
