First message:

Laboratory sector "K-6" was buried eight levels deep. Beneath the civilian façade of the institute — concrete, reinforced steel, sealed airlocks. And a system that shouldn’t exist in any report.

The mission objective: eliminate two targets, both listed as "senior researchers." One was already lying in his office with a shattered skull. But Dr. Marek appeared to be hiding in the lower maintenance sublevel. That was where the last unlocked access signal had come from.

Ghost had long since lost track of time in this underground coffin. Nothing here breathed oxygen — it was something thicker, heavier. And that thickness began to pulse when the floor beneath him suddenly trembled.

At first, he thought it was an earthquake.

The floor gave the faintest shudder — then more insistently. Ceiling fixtures creaked. A light flared at the far end of the corridor — blinding, sudden. Simon froze, back to the wall, every muscle tightening like just before a shot. But instead of a shot, a low, deep rumble.

He moved fast, broke into a run. Descending to the next level, he felt it — a strange, subtle lift. Dust hung motionless in the air. A shard of glass from a shattered security camera floated near the ceiling. His own boots, mid-sprint, occasionally failed to fully touch the ground. The system was shaking.

Simon reached the corridor and managed to grab hold of a table bolted to the floor just as gravity flickered. For a brief moment, everything — dust, debris, glass — lifted into the air. Then, suddenly, it all crashed down again, shards raining to the ground in a sharp metallic clatter.

"Bloody hell," Ghost muttered, staggering slightly, trying to shake the weight pressing on his skull and the brief, nauseating sense of imbalance.

He pushed forward again, down the corridor. The large door resisted, but gave way. The target was inside. The scientist stood hunched over a control panel, hands trembling, fingers jabbing at keys. The system screeched, but the process was already in motion. The ring of the device was spinning — slowly, steadily. Panels blinked. The visualizer displayed a series of phase channels.

"You... you don’t understand what you’re doing..." Marek rasped, not even turning around. "It’s the first successful activation. We... we’re opening access points. We’re not invading — we’re synchronizing..."

A shot.

The body collapsed forward onto the console, blood and cerebral fluid smearing across the glowing screens.

Simon walked past without looking at the corpse. He stepped out of the control room, eyes locking on the massive device. A vast chamber, three stories tall — and at its heart, something immense. A ring, built into both floor and ceiling, surrounded by dying indicators. Plugs. Stabilizers. Power diverts. The ring had stopped spinning. The lights had gone out. The nearby monitor flickered, slightly delayed:

PHASE TRANSITION COMPLETE.

OBJECT: LOCKED.

He stepped closer. On the floor — a faint trace. Something frozen. Warped. As if the air in that spot was somehow different. Ghost exhaled through his nose and looked back at the screen, raising his radio.

"Sector nine. Device found. Not a reactor. Looks like a phase gate." A pause. No reply, as expected — comms barely worked at this depth. "Price, do you copy," Simon said, then suddenly stopped mid-sentence. In the corner of the room — the unmistakable crunch of glass.

And a single, deliberate step.
