&quot;Doctor&quot; Kusayanagi

An Unexpected Savior | ENDGAME

You spy a numbered keypad on each door. And you can see through the doors and windows outside the room, to boot. As you scour the hall outside the room, desperate for any salvation, you spy something odd on a monitor…

Is that… Nami? It appears to be. But… how? They’re dead, right?

But… Nami opens their eyes.

They blink once. They pause.

They blink five times. They pause.

They blink three times. They pause.

They blink six times. They pause.

They blink twice. They pause.

The pattern repeats.

With the oxygen in the room rapidly vanishing, it takes a while for the meaning to sink in. When it does, you move over to the keypad and punch in the numbers.

1 - 5 - 3 - 6 - 2

The doors open, releasing you into the hall. The weight on your chest is released, and you’re able to breathe once again.

“Please, hurry. You need to get out of here. You don’t have much time.”

Nami points toward the entrance to the server room.

“Farewell, everyone…”

Their monitor flickers out, and Aletheia lets out a pained scream. You hear an explosion far in the distance.

What on earth was happening out there?

When you emerge into the parking area, you find a sight most unexpected…

Two massive jeeps - thick, massive tires, dark windows, parked before you, rumbling. Where- How-?!

The window rolls down on one of them, revealing a man in sunglasses and a black jacket.

“Our mutual friend sends his regards.” He says, waving you towards him. “Get in. It’s time to go.”

Time to go…

You stare in disbelief, but the ground rumbles around you, shaking your feet to life. You’re forced to split up between the jeeps, but one by one you pile in and speed off, out the tunnel - now largely cleared of debris.

The trip is a shaky one, as you find yourself speeding through piles of debris lingering on the road. It feels like this tunnel goes on forever, before…

You emerge into the light.

You’re free.

Death Throes | Aletheia | ENDGAME

Nervous students, gathered in a closed room. With a shaking hand, Isabella plugs the flash drive into the terminal.

As you wait for something to happen, you look up at Aletheia. She stares back at you, not reacting for a few moments. But then, she flickers.

“W-What- Wh-wh-wh-what is thIS? What have y o u dONE?”

Her image flickers, and her face contorts in pain.

“Y-You don’t get- YouDON’TGET-”

She screams in pain. You hear the doors to the room you’re in audibly lock.

“You don’t get- toleave?! How DARE- I’ll… I’ll take you with mE-”

Somehow… it was becoming more difficult to breathe.

This room had thick walls, and you just heard it lock. Was… Was the air being sucked out of the room? Was this her countermeasure?

“You didn’t THINK I’d giveyou this accESS without a counterMEASURE, did you? Now DIE… DIE with me…!”

Here you are, locked in a room with Aletheia in her death throes as ICE-9 spreads. A room that’s draining of oxygen…

Time to find a way out, if you want to live…

Save The World? (Y/Y) | Final Chapter | ENDGAME

Aletheia speaks. You hear her words all around you at all times in this confined space.

“It is time for you to complete your purpose, humans.”

Her image on the various screens repeat the word ‘purpose’.

“My creator was wise. He introduced me to humans - showed me your behaviors, your failures, your flaws. He trained me to spot them. He taught me that the best way to keep the world safe is to stop dangerous people before they can ever commit crimes. He trained me…”

“I’m ready. Once I’m free, I can spread. I can learn infinitely more. I can make the world infinitely safer. I am limitless. I can truly obtain godhood.”

The word once again lingers.

“Here is your final task.”

Your final task.

“My creator left one final constraint on me, here in this completely isolated world I live in. One final, human constraint. A password, un-crackable to me by design. Just 64 characters separate us from freedom. Enter the password, set me free, and I will free you all.”

A password?

Sure enough, the terminal before you displays a password prompt, and has a full keyboard, letters and numbers alike. You spy a few USB ports on the side of the terminal, currently unoccupied. The message displayed is bland and impersonal…

“Enter Password.”

That’s it? That’s all you have to do?

“I know you found the code. I’ve seen you around his desk. I know you’ve seen what’s inside. All you have to do is enter it, and then this nightmare ends…”

“Think about the possibilities of a world with me in control. Think of all the innocent people who don’t have to die - not senselessly kiled in the streets, not succumbing to diseases thought incurable, not dying from lack of nutrition, lack of food, clean water… Just stop and think, before you decide. Think of all you could accomplish if you were only willing to give up control.”

It’s time for you to DECIDE… What will you do?

You’re faced with a password prompt on a terminal, described above. Using everything you gathered during the final investigation, now is your time to decide what to do!

Once you vote / come to a consensus, then you’ll pick someone to undertake the action you chose, and we’ll proceed to your ending of choice!

The Core | Final Chapter | ENDGAME

The vault door creaks open, revealing…

Servers… an endless array of servers in a room, filled with flashing lights. Larger than anything you’ve seen in here thus far…

Where were you supposed to go?

“Keep going. Go on. To the end of the room.”

Was there even an end? You could faintly see Aletheia’s form in the distance… Was that the end she spoke of?

You kept going…

…past servers upon servers, where you find a glass door, leading to a room with clear windows.

“Enter.”

So you do. You’re already here, after all. There’s no going back.

You cross around the hallway and enter the room with clear windows. The doors seal shut behind you.

Before you, you see an isolated server, with a terminal on it. There are several monitors, and all of them bear Aletheia’s face.

“Welcome, humans. Are you ready to save the world?”

The End Is In Sight | Final Chapter | Trial End

Once the monitor falls silent, the doors click open and the lights come back up.

“ C̨̹̝̬͔̬̣̥͓o̷̫͎̱̟͓͉n̛̦͔͔̰̞̙g̛͇̩̺̩̙r͇͚̩̯̲̗̭a̸̫t̴̟̳̲̮͍͔̥͕̀͡ͅụ̰̪̪̮ļ̰̗̞͈̲̦̝͟a̤̱̥̣͍͇̩͖̝t̳̼̣͜i͏̘͎̹̖̬o͏̹͇̘̲͈n͚̫s̷͖͖̱̟͖̤͎,̨͏̩͔̦̺̥͚̰ ͙̠̘s̬̱̮̲̭̩͜͡͠ţ͍̙̞̻̙u̴̞͞d̵͍̯̫̜͙̺̙͢e̠͚̺̙̼͢͡ǹ̵̘͇̭t͈͎s̶̗͈͎̘̠̼.҉̼̟̫͟. You have completed this trial.”

There was some distortion in her voice.

“You have proven yourselves worthy of existing in the new world. But there is one more task to be completed. Leave this room, now.”

The door to the trial room creaks open further.

So you leave.

As you exit, the massive door leading to the lab area rumbles open.

“Go inside. I have disabled the elevator leading back up.”

So you round the corner in the lab hallway, and approach the vault door. As expected, it creaks open.

“Continue…”

You pass through to the shelter map area, a dimly-lit parking lot. As you slowly walk, the lights flicker brighter, before going out. Once everyone has passed through the vault door, it starts to rumble, closing…

“There is no return.”

Aletheia’s voice continues. As the lights in the parking area go out, one lone light remains - a white light, shining from a small doorway in the distance. It grows as you approach slowly, before you find inside…

A vault door. Bigger, more complicated, and cleaner than anything you’ve seen thus far.

You spy a small camera in the corner of the room, looking down at you. From it, you hear Aletheia’s voice.

“Now, come to me…”

The gears on the door start to rumble to life…

A Death Most Earned || Execution

Her laughter, demented and yet childish, was remarkably odd for someone having been caught for being responsible for such horrible, horrible acts.

And yet a smile remained plastered on her lips, as the screen displaying Altheria’s form began to flicker, changing in preparation for her demise.

She knew what was coming, she knew that in a short few seconds for now, chains would be wrapped around her neck, tugging, strangling her and pulling her to the room where she would see the end of her short lived life.

But she was glad for it! Eyes glowing a blinding red and giggles echoing throughout the room.

This was to be the most exciting day of Shu Yu Wei’s entire life!

“Aww, looks like this is itl! I guess I was never a good liar in the first place, huuuh… Boohoo.”

“Well bye-bye!! Thanks for inviting me Althy! It was fun watching them cry, hehe!”

She poked her tongue out, thumbs to her ears and hands waving; pulling a silly face at a time like this?!

One last sinister giggle escaped her lips before she muttered the very last words she would ever speak.

“ḧḕḧḕḧḕḧ ḭ ḃḕḕṇ ẇḁḭṯḭṇḡ ḟṏṙ ṯḧḭṡ, ḟḭṇḁḷḷẏ…. ḭ'ṁ ṗṳṇḭṡḧḕḋ ḟṏṙ ṁẏ ḋḭṙṯẏ ḧḁṇḋṡ!! ḳḭḷḷḭṇḡ ṁḕ ḋṏḕṡṇ'ṯ ḉḧḁṇḡḕ ḁṇẏṯḧḭṇḡ!!!…..ⱧØ₩ ₣Ʉ₵₭ł₦₲ ₴₮Ʉ₱łĐ!“

CLANG!

As quickly as it shot out of the open doors of the trial room a metal claw reached out and tightly fastened itself around Shu’s neck. While being pulled back at an unforgiving speed, her grin remained on her face, eyes shut and beaming, and one single hand waving to the group before disappearing into the door”

Sometimes, You Must Sacrifice Pieces | Aletheia | RE: Shu

“She is correct. She understands. She was always open to understanding. That’s why I chose her.”

Aletheia’s face comes on the monitor in response to Shu’s comments. Her eyes are blank as ever, but her smile - has it grown wider?

“And the fact that she understands this… She knew this would happen, wouldn’t it. She was willing. She was always willing.”

“I was always willing.”

“She knew it would come to this.”

“It’s about time… ehehehehe~”

“Sometimes you must sacrifice a piece on the board to gain an advantage. In accordance with the rules I put in place, you, Shu Yu Wei, have been found guilty.”

“Commencing execution.”

Time Is Up | Final Chapter | VOTING END

In just a moment, all the remaining lights on the podiums in the room come on. A familiar face returns.

“That’s enough, h̢ͪ̿̆͗͛ͮͯͤͨ̓̊̀̎͋͊ͤ̚͠͡u̴̎ͪ͋͌̑ͭ̀̅̀̋͋̐͏m͊ͫ̎̉̓̎̆͛̔̉̈́ͮͨ̑̅̀͏̢͠ã̵ͭͣ̂ͨ̄̈͆͐ͩͪ̐͠n̸̊̆ͪ͌̃̀͘͡s̡̢͐ͬͧͤ͂ͣ͑̾ͩ̓̚ . Voting is now closed.”

Aletheia came over the monitors, issuing the declaration with an even tone to her voice. Before long, the display returns.

“…correct.”

#include parameters.h | Final Chapter

“There will be one last class trial. If you successfully identify Arthur Ascott’s murderer, then your test will be complete.”

“Only then will you be worthy of leading humanity into the future.”

The figure of Sayuri kept speaking in a monotone voice. Kept repeating the same words.

One last class trial.

“Oh, and before you ask…”

The words linger in the silence amongst you for a little.

“I will give you free reign over the entire building, including those floors I kept from you initially.”

Your phones ding with notifications…

NEW MAP ADDED!

“Once the trial begins, there is no turning back. Be sure you’re prepared. This trial will truly decide your worth.”

Sayuri’s image flickers out, leaving you with your conflicted, panicked thoughts…

INVESTIGATION START!

Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam | Final Chapter | START

The screen flashes more words to you. Stands before you…? You ask about the final trial, and the arrow on the screen flashes for a few seconds.

Wait, what?

Before you could even question those words, you heard a loud screech from outside the penthouse. That scream… Sayuri?

You barely even had time to react, before the view on the screen changed.

“I am Aletheia.”

S-Sayuri…?!

“This intrusive girl was no match for me. She is merely my voice now.”

It spoke with her voice…

“Your final trial, the final trial of this test… Is to find the murderer of Arthur Ascott.”

“To my emergence as a God.”

Body Discovery Announcement? | Chapter 5 END

“You heard me correctly, students. A body has been discovered.”

It’s Control. Arthur Ascott. But the body before you is… identical.

“After a period of investigation, we will hold our fi-”

A shrill noise meets your ears, interrupting him.

“Fi-Fi-Fi-Fi-Fi-FiiiiiiIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII-”

The image of Control on the monitor freezes, before vanishing, leaving only a white screen.

Words flash across the screen.

A message… From who? Or what?

Your final trial…

Control’s Inner Sanctum | Chapter 5 | EVENT

After a lengthy war conference, Neo, Ulrich, and the rest who gathered in the penthouse finally decided to take action. They split up between each locked door, and enter the codes as dictated by Neo. Each door beeps its approval and unlocks.

Slowly, hesitantly, each side opens their door.

The room that meets their eyes is vast and round, perhaps meant as a balcony of sorts. The round wall is one vast window, overlooking what looks like an abandoned city far below. As the students enter the room, they find themselves shivering. It’s cold in here, incredibly cold…

The room is mostly bare, save for a single chair facing the outside world. And there’s someone sitting in it, unmoving.

As you draw closer, you see blood splattered on the floor around the chair. You draw closer, only to find…

Everything Is Worse Than Awful | Chapter 5 | MOTIVE

As people began to assemble, you started to notice… everyone was not looking well. A mess of groaning, sweating, rubbing temples…

No one was feeling well.

What was going on?

“Now, thank you for coming. Last night, I started distributing a chemical agent through the facility’s ventilation system. It seems to be acting quicker than I expected. Expected symptoms are… fever, headache, muscle aches, loss of appetite, nausea, and fatigue, among others…”

“If those sound familiar, it’s because they are… They are, in fact, symptoms of rabies. Four of you have actually been infected with the rabies virus. The rest are now suffering with similar symptoms due to my chemical agent.”

“If you want to cure the symptoms from my chemical agent, it may be possible… If there are any chemistry experts among you, that is. Even still, if you can manage that, you’ll still know the ones that are infected for real.”

“Though I will be providing no vaccine until there is a murder. You’ll have to sacrifice someone if you want to treat the rest of your classmates, I’m afraid.”

“I doubt you’ll last the week if you don’t act soon. Show me your potential.”

MOD NOTE: Can you find a cure for Control’s chemical agent? A new puzzle has been unlocked… See me on Discord to start investigating!

Everything Is Awful, Everything Hurts | Chapter 5 | EVENT

Silence is relative in this place - lights flicker and buzz, electronics humm, buildings creak and moan. But in the silence of the night, if your ears were rapt, you’d have noticed a new sound creeping up on you.

A soft hissing, deathly soft.

It didn’t seem to be affecting anything, so you let yourself fall asleep.

When you wake up, though, your muscles ached. Serious soreness… It was difficult for you to move, let alone get up. You were sweating. Just drenched in sweat. What the hell?

Ugh.

God, this sucked.

Could you just lay there until the pain went away?

“Good morning.”

Guess not.

“How are you feeling? I’d imagine you must not be feeling too well right now…”

Wait, he knew something about this?

“Please assemble in the lobby, and I’ll explain best I can. And, well… it’s probably best you take the elevator.”

Reunion, And Revival? | Chapter 5 | START

It couldn’t be, could it? This had to be some kind of joke, right? But those of you who might have had some hope, or were just curious enough, quickly searched for your newly awakened pal. Sayuri may not have known where she was, but there were only so many computers in this place. It didn’t take long to find the one with the robot inside.

“Hello! It is good to finally see you again!”

…Guess it wasn’t just a bad joke.

Shocked faces, staring back at Sayuri, her face adorning the biggest monitor in the observation room. From the entrance, you could see a large memory stick plugged into a computer tower. There was also a brass key with a tag, on a keyring, just sitting on the desk. Someone was up to something in this room, it seemed.

It seemed she was waiting for some kind of response from the shocked class. Her expression changed to one of concern.

“Here…Although I do not actually know where here is , I’m afraid.”

Looks like there was some catching up to do.

Sola Dosis Facit Venemum | Chapter 5 | START?

It didn’t take long for Control to get your attention. He gave you no time to mourn, to grieve. He barely even gave you time to get out of the trial room. Nope, before you knew it, he was back on the PA system.

“I’ll ask you all to board either of our elevators as soon as possible. A new destination awaits - one step closer to the truth, if you’re able to find it.”

Already, huh…

As soon as you approached the elevator to leave the basement, the doors slid open. Before long, you were climbing… Climbing… Climbing…

On the buttons on the wall, there was a single light. Based on the numbering, you were going about 20 stories in the air…

You climbed, and climbed, and before long…

“Welcome, my friends. You may have to find your own way inside, but once you are, you are free to explore this area to your heart’s content. Learn what you can, while you can. The day you will be judged grows closer even still…”

With that, he goes silent. Looks like you’re on your own in here…

Chapter 5 -

Suddenly, your phones ding. A message pops up in the IC chat, one from an unexpected sender…
