Level 11 The Endless City
TRI Building - Entity Research Institute
The Entity Research Institute occupies a highly sealed laboratory sector inside the Institute building and remains under high-security control by the Institute's private army. Isolation corridors, observation rooms, surgical lamps, and reinforced doors appear in sequence, while cages, restraints, sampling equipment, and repeatedly scrubbed drains remain behind thick glass. Wall records identify subjects only by number, revealing neither what entities once occupied the empty cells nor the cause of deformations pressed outward through certain doorframes. Here the Institute recorded how entities responded to light, sound, drugs, and level environments, attempting to convert unpredictable life into controllable data. Abandoned terminals still contain edited observation summaries, and announcements sometimes order nonexistent staff to report to isolation. Deeper within, cries for help that imitate human voices mingle with scraping metal. The archives do not state where every subject came from; they confirm only that not everything brought here was nonhuman.
