THE BLEEDING FREIGHT

Image
FILE 002: THE BLEEDING FREIGHT From the Archives of the Historian: Nexopolis, 4200 XE. The towering arcologies of the Techno District are bathed in sterile light, but the foundation of this city is built on shadows. In the labyrinthine Undercity, the mega-corporations hold no power. Here, the Shadow Network controls the flow of illicit Arcanetech, moving stolen psionic amplifiers through the dark. But when you smuggle technology designed to channel the void, you run the risk of the void looking back. The following is an intercepted audio-log from a known subterranean courier. Read the unsealed records below to discover what truly bleeds in the dark... The lower transit tunnels of Nexopolis didn’t hum with electricity like the upper sectors; they rattled. They groaned.

The Summoning of Shadows

Image
When Darkness Falls... As the sun dipped below the city's horizon, casting long shadows over the towering buildings, John felt a shiver crawl down his spine. It had been a long day at work, and all he wanted was the comfort of his small, one-bedroom apartment. As he turned the corner onto his street, he couldn't help but glance down the dimly lit alleyway adjacent to his building. What he saw there sent a chill through him. A group of individuals, clad in strange, tattered robes, huddled together in a makeshift circle, their chanting barely audible from where he stood. Bizarre symbols were drawn in chalk on the ground, and their movements were fluid and ritualistic.
