EPILOGUE: return 0;

You’re not sure just how long it was you were driven. Most of you fell asleep, finally allowing the tension to fade away and letting your fatigue catch up with you. Others still weren’t quite sure yet if you could trust the people driving you now…

But the fact remained that you were out of that place. Wherever you were heading now, it couldn’t possibly be worse, could it?

Whatever the case… fatigue eventually caught up with you.

…

…

When you came to, you were pulling to a stop in a wooded area, near a river. Your driver looked back at you, gesturing for you to get out.

“Go on, now. He’s waiting for you.”

You hesitantly get out, and walk the direction he’s gesturing. Sitting on a bench, you saw a man in a brown coat, facing the river.

You approach him slowly.

He turns around. An older man, with thinning brown hair and thick-rimmed glasses. A face you’ve seen before…

“I’m glad to finally meet you in person. My name is Suzume Satou.”

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.

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…

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.”

Natacha votes for Shu Yu Wei, she's done. (please free shu)

A red light appears in front of Nat’s podium…

Shu Yu Wei - 1

here we are at wonderwall|| Natacha ||Chapter 6 Re: The plot thickens

So, it did end up being sorta obvious by the end, huh? Natacha wouldn’t have known without having put those clues together…

Then again, she just really wanted this whole thing to truly end. The girl was frankly just tired.

“… Huh. That makes sense now. Man, unless you have something solid to say, you’re pretty much cornered, huh, Shu? Not to mention that being the quiet kid in the whole class wouldn’t save you from suspicion.”

A slight smile crossed her face for a moment before she continued on.

“If despite it all accusations, actually… Well, nah, I got this.”

She’s done with everything right now. But she hasn’t done that one thing, so maybe…

im trying my best|| Natacha ||Chapter 6 Trial Re: everything, im slowly catching up …

So it was indeed someone in here who is currently ​alive​. Natacha stared at the screen, pondering what to add… Was the thread truly ​that important​..?

Isn’t there something more concerning…

“While the thread could certainly help… It wouldn’t exactly narrow down to just ​one​ person, would it? I was thinking… Would there be any more clue that might help us to narrow it down? Like.. Maybe some ​identifications?​ ​I wouldn’t doubt that the company would keep tab on us, information and all since we were kept here on purpose… I just haven’t looked closer to see if it’s true or not. And if it truly was true, in what form were they kept? Was it all of us students or…?”

Honestly, since it was hard to follow, and she did what she could, Natacha could only theorize and suggest something broader, maybe it was an incorrect method, maybe it might be correct, but she hadn’t the chance to see it with her own eyes, so getting confirmation would be nice…

try{ exec sp_endgame; } | Final Chapter | Trial Start!

The walk is a long one, filled with mixed emotions. Uncertainty about what the promised end entailed. Fear, brought on by what knowledge of the context of your situation you could find.

Once you are locked into your cages safe and secure once more Aletheia’s voice fills the room, and in place of Control…Sayuri. 

“Restating the purpose of this final trial… You are to find the culprit who murdered Arthur Ascott.”

“Only once you vote for the correct culprit will you be deemed worthy.”

The words linger for a moment. Then Sayuri returns.

“Prove your worth. Prove your viability as assets to the new world.”

A shrill whistle rings out through the facility. Then Sayuri’s - no, Aletheia’s voice, took over.

“You have had sufficient time. You have come a great deal in your time here, through these trials. You have learned a great deal, no doubt.”

“Proceed to the trial room. You will receive further instructions there.”

“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…

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…

Vent-Hopping | Chapter 5 | Event?

There was only so much you can do, when you’re just a simple robot trapped in a computer. Sayuri had made some basic surveillance. Check up on her friends, make sure everyone’s okay. She couldn’t check on everyone, but just flipping through the cameras reassured her that there were no bodies. But now what? Might as well go exploring in the places without any people. It was a nice distraction, anyway, until hopefully somebody else would come check up on her. But that moment wouldn’t be for a while, and Sayuri eventually was vent crawling.

That was… strange. Nobody could say Sayuri was an expert in ventilation, but whatever this thing was in the systems, it sure seemed dangerous. She couldn’t risk it, less somebody get sicker or actually injured! It wasn’t even that difficult to turn off, which just seemed like overconfidence on Control’s part. Then again, even Sayuri hadn’t realized she could use the vents until now. So…maybe she was booboo the fool here. Either way! She should let the others know, right away!

In another moment, she had flickered onto the lobby’s monitors, beaming with glee.

“Hello? Hello! May I have a moment of your time, my dear classmates? I wanted to let you all know that I found something suspicious running in the ventilation! But, not to worry! I turned it off quickly. It seemed very dangerous, so I did not want to risk anything. I hope I prove helpful in this way! Really, it was so upsetting not being able to help during at all during this stressful time. B-but, never mind that! I hope you all are feeling better soon!”

With that, she flickers off the monitor, looking to spread the news wherever she could reach.

One voice that was conspicuously absent at this revelation, though, was Control.

Another thing absent? The hissing, the soft hissing that had started late at night.

Has the danger passed?

It seems so…

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!
