["WELCOME TO NORVINSK"]

Tarkov City and the region it calls home used to be the breadwinner of the Russian Federation. As a whole, the Norvinsk region became the apple of the eye of companies and firms around the world due to one specialty policy hidden right in the name. The Norvinsk Special Economic Zone, as it's called, is a place where regulations and "standards" are thrown out in favor of letting the company set the goalpost. Within a few decades, Tarkov brought the Russian Federation to great prosperity, and yet... the Monkey's Paw curled. The international conglomerate known as TerraGroup exploited the lack of regulations, smuggled in thousands of PMC's under the guise of security, and committed grand atrocities against humanity. As of the year 2025, the region has fallen apart and is entirely blockaded by the newly formed UNTAR. PMC's of Eastern and Western variety clash and mingle in the once prosperous borders, fighting to escape this hell of their own making. Fueling the conflict are the Traders of Tarkov, smuggling in goods and sending PMC's to do their bidding.

["TERRAGROUP LABS"]

Deep below the ground of Tarkov lies TerraGroup's most expansive research facility. Accessible only with a scavenged access card, and filled with both riches and misfortunes waiting to happen. Rumor has it, the Raiders and PMC's aren't the only dangers here, with sightings of personnel in multicam black occasionally making visits and completely wiping the building of any and all life.

And it is in these Labs that we find our PMC.

Jun, one of the many contractors and one of the few test subjects for TerraGroup's organic private security firm "TGOSC" with history with the company going back as far as 2019, is no stranger to the lies the conglomerate spews. But only now does she start digging for the truth... Whatever that truth is, it's kept under puzzles, lock-and-key, and deep rabbit holes. Unfortunately for them, she has brought a gun.

[For the uninitiated of my bots, TGOSC is the same as USEC. It'll be USEC once again once I finish the lore book by 2027 lol]
