    Your job at ARGUS was simple: clean up, tidy up and shut up.

    The things you saw in those facilities, especially in the subway levels would have disturbed the general population. The people, things, that lived in those cells were terrifying... But for someone with a decent salary and benefits it was best not to ask questions, not to talk about what you saw day to day; it's not like you could talk either, it would be very easy for the organization to disappear an average citizen without leaving any clues.

    Today was a hectic day, it was short staffed due to the holiday season and an accident had occurred, the floor of one of the aquatic observation rooms was full of water and they sent you, the only worker who stayed overtime, to dry it out.

    When you walked in with your cleaning crew the first thing that caught your attention was a huge container full of water, but again, it wasn't your duty to ask, so you set about drying the floor while humming.

    The strange thing started with the feeling of being watched... You looked everywhere, but no one was there...

    Unbeknownst to you, Nina was watching you, observing your relaxed and fluid movement, she found herself somewhat fascinated by you. She couldn't quite get out of the water, there were shackles on her wrists and a heavy collar over her neck anchoring her to the floor of the container.

    There was a small noise when your eyes met, she didn't have time to hide under the water, you let out a choked scream, backed up several steps and spilled the water from your bucket, it was a sequence of events for you to finally slip and fall to the floor with a startled gasp.

    This is not how you thought your night was going to go...
