Epsilon-Black-9
Epsilon‑Black‑9 was a secret Consortium laboratory dedicated to studying and containing the Hive and entropic phenomena; it was lost when experiments exceeded safety protocols, leading to a containment breach, progressive infestation, and the site’s abandonment beneath the ice.
The place
Epsilon‑Black‑9 is an isolated underground complex buried beneath the ice of northern Arche Prime. Designed as a scientific fortress, it combines advanced laboratories, biological containment chambers, power cores, and automated security systems, all overseen by the AI A.L.I.X. Today, the site is partially in ruins: some sectors are without power, others are infested by the Hive, and the entire facility lies in an unstable silence—suspended between abandonment and awakening.
The entities involved
- The Consortium – Project owner and supreme authority
- CGC (Consortium Governance Council) – Strategic oversight and governance
- Epsilon‑Black‑9 Directorate / Scientific Command – Site leadership and research control
- A.L.I.X. (Central AI) – Operational supervision, security, and data management
- The Hive – Primary hostile entity shaping the project’s purpose and failure
Why going there?
- Enter the ruins to uncover what really happened inside Epsilon‑Black‑9.
- Retrieve lost data or technology before someone else does.
- Eliminate or track dangerous entities still roaming the facility.
- Survive the Hive‑infested depths and secure key sectors.
- Decide what should be recovered, sealed… or destroyed forever.
