Endless Rain 2

Global warming and pollution have caused corrosive rain to fall 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Cities have been sealed off for health and convenience.

Some years after the time of Endless Rain, you are a drone living on "floor" 360, the top of the Ohn Conglomorate residential tower (a subsidiary of Hondo Co). Each floor of the tower is actually a self-contained multilevelled living area, containing living quarters, hygenic facilities, a cafeteria, some common areas, and an atrium.

Something in your floor hasn't been right lately. Ever since the fish vanished from the aquarium, ever since the people in the lower apartments disappeared and the area was sealed off, ever since the energy rail station closed, ever since the central elevator core stopped accepting your access card. Now it's almost curfew time, but you're not staying in tonight. Something's happened and they don't want anyone getting in or out. If they come for you tonight, you'll not go without a fight.

* The secret *

---

First, some lore.

In 1998, Hondo-Co had broken through universal barriers and created a pocket of recognizable space in the center of reality. Hgrethedelon, the one who sees all things and through his gaze creates order from chaos, was discovered. Due to the possibly catastrophic nature of messing with things down there, research was taken at an extremely guarded pace.

In 1999, local employees discovered a back door to this place and, in a moment of self defense, destroyed Hgrethedelon. Hondo-Co, fearing the universe slipping back into chaos, managed to create a new eye from steel and wire, binding it to the flesh. The process of ordering reality takes millennia and has incredible momentum, but they found that they could slightly influence things

In 2199, Hondo-Co runs most of the planet down to the domestic level. Hondo is by now long dead. He was always sad from the way things turned out with the world, but lacked the will to change things himself. And so he left behind the TIME SHED so that one day, someone would make things right.

Now, some other information.

The secret can be entirely done alone, but may be faster with more people. It's got some pretty horrible systems of entities, and should be quite solid, but in multiplayer in a lagged situation, there's always the possiblity of things breaking down. But I've tested it with people enough to be confident in everything. Getting in requires a very obscure task, so here's a sentence to read!

"Swimming had made Edward tired, so he sat down to rest."
