DAWN OF THE APOCALYPSE // SITREP ARCHIVE
PROTOCOL: ECHOES OF THE VOID
Seventy-two hours after the vaporization of Agent Kaelen Vance, the Sector 4 subterranean garage remained sealed under heavy kinetic lock. When the primary containment seals finally hissed open, the recovery team stepped into an atmosphere choked with frozen ozone and a sickening, metallic tang that clung to the roof of the mouth.
The concrete floor beneath their boots was scorched in a precise, geometric radius, glowing with faint, dying pulses of vibrant blue static. Specialist Marcus adjusted his tactical HUD, expecting standard particulate readings. Instead, the screen flickered violently, cycling through a corrupted loop of biometric telemetry that didn't belong to him.
Then came the sensory bleed. A sharp, white-hot spike drilled directly behind Marcus’s left eye—not a technical glitch, but a translated neural overload. Through his own tactical visor, he was no longer looking at the garage. For three agonizing seconds, he saw the ceiling from a vertical perspective, felt the phantom pressure of barbed biomechanical tethers sinking deep into spinal vertebrae, and tasted copper and fear that was entirely foreign to his own mind.
Across the room, secondary specialist Reyes dropped his rifle, clutching his temples as his own rig began broadcasting a flatline audio loop recorded in a voice he recognized instantly: Agent Kaelen Vance, reciting sector coordinates backward in a wet, distorted whisper.
* Team: Sector 4 Sweep Unit
* Status: Compromised / Active Bleed
* Contagion: Neural Echo Imprint
* Location: Subterranean Garage 4
* Residue: Vibrant Blue Static
* Threat Level: Terminal Cognition Hazard
Immediate termination of datalink connection is mandatory upon initial sensory feedback. Recovery units exhibiting memory intrusion or phantom telemetry must be severed from network access and quarantined indefinitely.
