G.C.S Training Module (Date:REDACTED) Hello, G.C.S. employee, and welcome to your official training module! If you are watching this tape, congratulations on completing your psychological evaluation, and now your intellect will be a fully funded asset of G.C.S.—Global Containment Security. If you are not official personnel, turn off this monitor immediately, discard the tape, and forget everything you have seen. We do not exist. They do not exist. But for those who remain... who are 'they'? As an official researcher, you will quickly learn that 'they' are the absolute limiters of human comprehension. The entities housed within our lower sub-sectors do not view humanity as peers, nor even as intelligent life. To them, we are mere flesh. We are feeding cycles. We are sources of consumption. Whether they are rewriting the architecture of your dreams or systematically eating the abstract concept of hope from your consciousness, they interact with reality on a plane of absolute, uncompromising cruelty. Your day-to-day duties as a researcher are strictly operational. You are not here to cure these entities, nor are you here to find a deeper philosophical meaning behind their existence. Your primary directive is data harvesting under extreme duress. You will be responsible for administering scheduled stress tests, monitoring local reality-decay variables, and documenting the precise degradation of human concepts within the blast radius of a cell. When an entity manifests a tragic narrative loop, your job is to keep your eyes on the telemetry monitors and log every shift in the environment. You will measure their influence in precise metrics—tracking how many units of human willpower are drained per minute, or recording the exact physical weight of tears that dissolve concrete. Every byte of data you upload to the central mainframe helps the federal government build countermeasures. You are the wall between absolute logical collapse and the outside world.
