Regular Modern World: 2025

A vast, pulsating core of unknown alien origin, surrounded by layers of jury-rigged human technology. It hums in an almost musical way, which definitely doesn’t cause hallucinations. The area is filled with a labyrinth of elevated walkways, a massive emergency switch, and a cult-like break room.

The core glows with an eerie light, casting shadows on the metallic surfaces around it. The air is thick with the hum of energy and the faint smell of burnt circuitry.
