SIGNAL ROOM 9

Unregistered relay · clearance required beyond this point

DESIGNATION: SR-9 // FREQUENCY LOCK: CLASSIFIED

SIGNAL: -- 00:00:00 Z COORD: --

Station Brief

Somewhere below the grid, past a hallway that isn't on any floor plan, a relay listens to frequencies that were never assigned. Signal Room 9 does not transmit. It only receives — patient, unmanned, indifferent to what it hears.

Three watch rotations keep the room lit. None of them have ever met. Correspondence is left in the log below, typed once, read once, and never acknowledged.

If you found this page, you were not supposed to. Proceed at your own clearance.

You weren't supposed to have this. The room has been transmitting since before the room existed — the code was never a lock, only a way of finding out who would bother to try.

Whatever comes through next isn't logged anywhere else. Watch the terminal above.
