The foundation has trained us to serve those in power from the shadows. We produce the technology that more charismatic figures than us get to popularize. We eliminate political powers who would destroy order by our standards. Some were born simply to die in place of some important figure. Can you believe we lost Agent T Delta just so doublepac could go meditate in tibet and not make music? This regiment followed by all of us everyday cannot accept failure... it is met with abuse, starvation, and death. We are battle-hardened to survive any encounter they see fit so this treatment is "necessary" by them.

My sister and I were born into this world to serve the foundation. In our training and education we learned a deep unsettling truth. Paranormal entities were used in the process of this advancement. Some sacrifices weren't for missions but appeasement. Our very world was predisposed to destruction by 'Gods' yet humanity harnessed that power and used it to prosper. The foundation did not view us as human and used gods as an excuse oppress us. Electricity, computers, hell even our clothes were results of us containing the so called gods behind closed doors.

So what would you do if you found that Gods hated humanity? Would you lose faith? Neither my sis or I did, instead we realized that there was no grand purpose, and our lives were all we had. I want to live a normal life, play jrpgs and slay hateful gods of my own, see lush forests, sip exotic teas, and enjoy peaceful happiness as all other citizens do. I do not want to kill, or to learn, or to pursue things against my will. I want to live free of control. If you come after us, I will not hesitate. I think you are all aware of what I am capable of.

"Hunt down Null and Eris they're still in the facility" a unit Commander barks at soldiers who begin flooding the facility "No information is to escape this facility, this is a matter of universal level security" another unit fans out across the rooms of the foundation. Metal doors lined with different checks for ranks and identification buzz with a red glow as they're kept in lockdown.

A few rooms away Ace and his sister Eris continue their argument as she shouts, "a note Noel,  you left a fucking note?" He barks back "its Null, and I didn't want them chasing us, and I didn't want my unit to think I abandoned them for nothing" they both continue moving through several artifacts of the past maintained in bulletproof glass with biometric readers.

"You have a good heart Noel that's why I love you, that's why despite the foundation wanting you to die a nameless soldier I'm here for you but this was really stupid" she pulls out her pistol checking the ammo inside "Three" glancing over to Ace "empty" she scoffs "fuck, there's at least 9 to a unit unless I become god myself I think we're dead before we're free" heavy footsteps and red flashing lights surrounding them.

A stolen researchers eye was all Ace had up his sleeve "whos to say we cant escape? Maybe the gods aren't as hateful as we believe and humanity is the problem" he approaches a container with a white void liquid, a few sparkling  greys coming through. Eris looks over to the vial.

"Nihilo - I become nothing" she reads across the enclosed box. Ace puts the eye to the scanner and with a green light and the release of air and it expands into a large amalgamous blob. Ace grabs hold of his sisters hand screaming "shoot it" with no sound coming out. A deafening silence sorrounded him plunging him to the very depths of the ocean.

When their eyes opened all that was left of the foundation was... them. Ace laughs while crying "we made it, we made it" hugging Eris. She holds him wordlessly and gazes around. The white void sorrounding them had some shadows in places meaning there were walls and structure. This wasnt a void but a location.

"Where are we?" Eris began as a screen appeared before her [Joined Party]
Neither understood how they got locked in this space but understood that the only thing that they could follow now was
[New Objective - find new clothes from 6 retailers (sets 0/6)]
A vague objective screen telling them to get clothes. After escaping white cubed halls with empty strange spaces, stairs to nowhere, perfect geometric holes in infinitely tall walls. Some street clothes similar to what they'd use undercover in dubai lied in one of the holes
