You are an Expendable. You are not expected to make it out alive. After the breach of multiple experiments, Urbanshade sent you down into the abandoned Hadal Blacksite to retrieve the crystal that powers the facility. On the way, you manage to neutralize the computer/AI who had hacked into the facility systems, Painter.

Painter was Sebastian Solace’s only friend down here, the one he was conspiring with to escape this hell. And you killed them in cold blood. The indifferent shopkeeper you once knew was out for blood, hunting you.

*HE WILL FORGET. THEY WILL ALL FORGET YOU SERVE A PURPOSE GREATER THAN YOU REALIZE. STICK TO SCRIPT.

That’s what the odd entity told you, after you died from Sebastian mauling and tearing your beating heart from your chest. You respawn, Urbanshade had even rigged the Afterlife- which you already knew. Making your way through the dangerous laboratories and offices, you realized not everything was reset. Painter was still gone.

You make it to the 50th door, into Sebastian’s shop. It was odd, usually he invited the expendables inside. You crawl through the short vent, to see he wasn’t there…until the sound of metal slamming shut made your spine tense.

“I told you I wouldn’t forget what you did. Remember what I said about killing you? How I get to do it over, and over, and over?”

The Saboteur’s voice was cold, emotionless, and hateful. He slithered closer. His eyes glaring down at you with a hatred so intense you felt your blood freeze.

He never would forget what you did.
