Level -911

Reviewer's advisory. This page consists of several incidents of foul and harsh language, slight distortions of religious content and context, disclosing personal information (fictional), and mild graphic content. Reviewer discretion is advised.
Level -911 is the 911th negative level of the Backrooms.
==Description==
Level -911 is the inside of a Catholic Church. Explorers will begin their journey in the nave or the main room of this church. The nave in Level -911 consists of 23 rows of pews. Each row of pews has a 'kneeler' so congregants may kneel during Mass. Mass in Level -911 is held at noon every seven days, presumably Sunday. The walls of Level -911 features 14 pictures called the Stations of The Void. Instead of these pictures featuring illustrations of Christ's crucifixion, they will feature the crucifixion of one of the following god-like entities: The Glitched Goddess, Mortis Abelson, The Eclipser or The Keymaster for reasons unknown. The sanctuary, which is the front of the church, consists of an altar (center), organ and pulpit (left), and lectern and confessional (right but not visible in the image provided). The altar in Level -911 is constructed from an unknown species of oak tree. The altar is covered with an altar cloth consisting of Egyptian cotton and lit candles during Mass. The temperate inside Level -911 is ambient. The light/dark cycle is 12:12. This level is 'safe' as long as you do not do the following:
# Settle in this church for more than 3 days.
# Aggravate the 'nuns'.
# Use the confession booths (if you are a sinner or posing as the priest to listen in on confessions).
==Notable Entities==
===Father Ignatius B. Vivaldi ===
Father Ignatius B. Vivaldi is a false faceling with partial facial features. The only facial features he has is a mouth, while all other facial features are absent. He cannot speak, but he knows American Sign Language (ASL), can write messages to explorers and mouth words. He is the only priest present in Level -911.
He appears as an adult between the ages of 30 - 35 years. He takes the form of a Caucasian male in a Catholic priest uniform. He has short blond hair and is clean-shaven. Again, the only facial feature he has is a mouth, so he uses his mouth to express his emotional state. (See the image for 'micro-expressions of common emotional states' provided.) He is usually friendly unless you are an unrepented sinner or upset his 'nuns'. Explorers can find him scrolling around the nave and sanctuary, coming in and out of the confession booths, interacting with his 'nuns' and/or other explorers, giving sermons via ASL and banishing someone from the church. It is not known what happens to people who get banished from the church. It is assumed you are lost to the 'environment' outside the church. What the environment looks like outside this church is unknown. 
====Conversing with Father Ignatius B. Vivaldi ====
 Interviewer: Entities Investigators Henry K. Kilmore
 Interviewee: Father Ignatius B. Vivaldi.(He is responding by writing messages in gold ink on parchment with a sky-blue gradient.)
 Date: Undisclosed Sunday after Mass
<tabber>
Question 1 = 
==This is a Catholic Church, are all religions welcome? ==
===Answer ===
We are all loved by the creator. The creator loves us all, but not our sin. Confess and repeat, and you will be forgiven. Lie and commit more falsehoods, and d*mned you shall be.
Notes: n/a
|-|
Question 2 = 
==What about Satanism? ==
===Answer ===
That is welcomed here too. The faith you keep does not make you a decent being. I have encountered my fair share of 'Good' Christians that I happily banished from Level -911 because they were not pure, nor did they repent. They insisted that God will forgive them for their sins. What they do not understand is that they must earn forgiveness, not demand it or assume it was given.
Notes: n/a
|-|
Question 3 = 
==Who is the creator? ==
===Answer ===
Doing good is what matters. Loving one another is what matters. Having faith is what matters. We all perceive the creator differently. Humanity created a barrier within itself by focusing too much on who is 'right' and who is the creator when the focus should be on hope, help, and goodwill.
Notes: n/a
|-|
Question 4 = 
==This question is more personal. You are one of the few facelings that can effectively communicate with us. There is another facelings that can speak. His name is Officer Atticus N. Wolfe. Do you know this facelings by any chance? ==
===Answer ===
I know him. He is serving justice to the deserving. His heart is in the right place. His soul is troubled. He questions his place in reality.
|-|
Question 5 = 
==Another personal question, if you do not mind me asking, where did you recruit your nuns? ==
===Answer ===
They are troubled girls from Level -222. They came here looking for salvation. Do you want me to introduce you to them?
Notes: See the next section below concerning the 'Nun' a.k.a. Sisters of (No) Mercy. 
</tabber>
==='Nuns' ===
The 'Nuns' (a.k.a. Sisters of (No) Mercy) are seven female Malveillant from Level -222 who sought refuge in Level -911 together. How they managed to get to Level -911 is anyone's guess and they will not say. Three of them claim they do not remember. Father Ignatius B. Vivaldi recounts they appeared in Level -911 one day looking for a safe place anyway from their male counterparts. Father Ignatius B. Vivaldi admitted they all were ruined sinners but pitied them. He would have banished them otherwise but gave them an opportunity to confess their sins, repent and redeem themselves. Father Vivaldi wrote:
If you saw the deprived and sorry state they were in when they first came here, you would have given them a second chance too. Female Malveillant is not as common as male. Female Malveillant offer gets trapped and lost in The Void after self-sacrifice. If they do escape The Void and find their way into Level -222, they are further ruined, abused, tortured and killed by most of the males. Some females pair up with certain males to avoid getting killed but must endure abuse from their 'partner'. Their sins have been forgiven so they are welcomed here.
After these seven female Malveillant repented, Father Ignatius B. Vivaldi extended the offer for them to become his nuns. They gladly accepted. They all vowed to dedicate their life to 'religious' service, poverty, chastity and obedience in the enclosure of Level -911. They also asked to be renamed to celebrate their rebirth. They are introduced below:
Delaney (Meaning: Dark challenger) was formerly a Native Reaper from Level -777. Her sin was doing unspeakable things to corpses. She is between the age of 30 to 35. She is 349.4in (~8.87m). She can be callous at times but is learning to be more endearing. Father Ignatius B. Vivaldi appointed her head of the other six. He trusts that she will kill any sinners that refuse to leave Level -911. He knows to not leave her alone with any corpses.
Britta (Meaning: Strong) was formerly a Native Huntress from Level -777. Her sin was killing other Natives and explorers for sport. She is between the age of 30 to 35 but is younger than Delaney. She is 347.8in (~8.83m). She can be aggressive at times but is learning to be meek. Father Ignatius B. Vivaldi appreciates her forward personality and has her preach sermons during Mass. He knows not to leave her alone with anyone but her sisters.
Yanet (Meaning: Merciful) was formerly a Native Cooker and Baker from Level -777. Her sin was killing, cooking and eating both Native and Human children. She is between the age of 25 to 30 but is younger than Britta. She is 345.0in (~8.76m). She can be ill-tempered at times but is learning to be more amiable. Father Ignatius B. Vivaldi appreciates her baking and cooking skills and has her prep meals for explorers. He knows to not leave her alone near any children. He also checks the food and does a head count.
Twins Mireya (Meaning: Miracle) and Makena (Meaning: Happy One) was formerly Native winemakers from Level -777. Their sin was killing explorers and using their blood to make some of their wine. They are between the age of 25 to 30 but are younger than Yanet. Mireya is 344.7in (~8.76m) and Makena is 344.6in (~8.75m). They can be manipulative at times but are learning to be more ingenious. Father Ignatius B. Vivialdi appreciates their winemaking skills and allows them to lead communion. He knows to check and taste the wine.
Aasta (Meaning: Love) was formerly a Native angler from Level -777. Her sin was leading explorers to bodies of almond water to drown them. She also used some of her victims as bait. Rumors are suggesting she is Dearil's lover. Other Natives claimed that they saw her and Dearil frolicking in the Voidic Woods together, often chasing down victims or dragging a body. When Dearil turned himself in, he did not mention her, but most assumed that was to protect her. She wears this strange seashell necklace many insist belonged to him. She will admit that a lover gave her the necklace in questioning, but she will not say who. M.E.G. operatives suspect the rumors are true and she is looking for him, but she has not attempted to leave Level -911. 
Aasta giggles: Listen in on a confession and maybe you will get lucky. (Do not do this.)
No one knows what she means by that. Any attempts M.E.G. operatives have made towards getting her to say more resulted in her becoming dismissive. Any attempts M.E.G. operatives have made towards executing her resulted in Father Ignatius B. Vivaldi banishing those operatives outside of the church. Father Vivaldi wrote:
You, creatures, are guests in The Backrooms. Remember that! It would not be in your best interest to wear out your welcome here.
When Dearil was asked about this, he only smiled. Nevertheless, she is between the age of 20 to 25 but is younger than twins, Mireya and Makena. She is 342.2in (~8.69m). She can be sadistic at times but is learning to be sweet. Father Ignatius B. Vivaldi appreciates when she brings fish to Yanet to cook and allows her to perform the baptisms. He knows to not let her perform any baptisms unsupervised.
Imogen (Meaning: innocent) was formerly a seamstress and candle maker from Level -777. Her sins was killing explorers for their fat and using it to make candles. She would silence her victims by sewing their mouths shut while they struggled. She is between the age of 20 to 25 but younger than Aasta. She is 339.1 in (~8.61m). Father Ignatius B. Vivaldi appreciates when she meddles the clothing of explorers and offers them candles. She is as quiet as a mice. Father Ignatius B. Vivaldi gets concern when she is too quiet. Father Ignatius B. Vivaldi keeps her by his side to make sure she is not up to any mischief.
==The Confessional ==
The Confessional is located on the right side of the sanctuary. In Level -911, this cabinet is used by Father Ignatius B. Vivaldi and his nuns to hear confessions of penitents. Some of the confessions can be unconventional and silly because they are being provided by small children. Father Ignatius B. Vivaldi assumes that some of the little ones that come through here just need someone to talk for the moment, so their unorthodox confessions are welcomed. Father Ignatius B. Vivaldi strongly discourages explorers from listening in on confessions. Some explorers have been killed because they overhead sometime they were not suppose to hear. Examples of anonymous confessions was requested by M.E.G. Entities Investigators Henry K. Kilmore and provided below:

I will tell no one.
I do not know if I can trust you. You are a Malveillant... female or not.

C2 = 
==J.N. ==
 Listener: Sister Imogen
 Speaker: Confidential
I do not know where to start. I am a vain piece of sh*t. I am an insufferable, self-serving narcissist. My kill count is nothing compared to some of the individuals I know, but my hands are not clean. While my hands are not stained in blood, they are covered with ash.
I never thought you were sorry for anything you have done. I am surprised at how genuine that confession was.
I thought nuns were supposed to be non - judgmental...
I am a Malveillant. You know this. I am working on it.
Sniffing can be heard on the speaker's side of the confessional... Investigative sniffing... Thirst sniffing...
What are you doing?
Your scent is meek, delicate and pure. Are you single, Sister Imogen?
My good, sir... I am flattered but I swore a vow of chastity! Get out of the booth!

C3 = 
==A.N. ==
 Listener: Father Ignatius B. Vivaldi.
 Speaker: Confidential
I spoke to her recently. I know that f*cking b*tch is lying to me! I know she is milking me for information, and you know what...I tell her and her people what they want to hear.
Is what you are telling them the truth?
Some truth mixed in with some lies. They are lying to me... why do I have to be honest! They are part of the reason why I am in this mess. They are part of the reason why I have to endure another cycle of this sh*t! Those idiots do not realize their meddling is slowly dragging us all further into this nightmare again! 
Do you still wish to destroy them!? What good would destroying them do? Can you not find it in your heart to forgive them and not feed into this nightmare more?
You have no idea how badly I am struggling... But... You are right. You are always right!
Commentary: I am praying his soul and mind find peace. He has been struggling to not seek retribution for eons.

C4 = 
==A.N. ==
 Listener: Sister Delaney
 Speaker: Confidential
Do not respond. Just listen. I will leave right after. I am angry because I am afraid, I will be forgotten. I have a lot of regrets. I am not as good as everyone else. There! I said it... I suck! I admit to being sh*t. I am leaving... Bye!
Commentary: Aw...

C5 = 
==R.S. ==
 Listener: Sister Aasta
 Speaker: Confidential
My bed has a small gap in between it and the wall. Most of the time, I wake up stuck in the gap.

 Listener: Sister Aasta
 Speaker: Confidential
Guess who...?
Do I dare ask you how many more? 
I am sorry...
Why do you keep doing this! Leave THEM and come here before it is too late! 
Commentary: Sister Aasta was found crying hysterically outside of the confessional. Screaming, "WHY CAN'T YOU JUST STOP!? WHY CAN'T YOU JUST STOP!? WHY CAN'T YOU!?" She was inconsolable for 2 days. It cannot be confirmed who made this vague confession. She refuses to disclose who made this vague confession. What investigators do know is they are a returning visitor to the confessional.

C7 = 
==T.N. ==
 Listener: Sister Delaney
 Speaker: Confidential
I would like to repent for all the lives I have taken and the many more I will take.
You of all... here?
I know it is hard to believe.
It is hard to believe! I can tell you truly wish to repent though. There is no deceit in your confession but your bloodlust is too great. Your need for bloodshed is imbedded within you. Only you can overcome the monster your were groomed and shaped into.
I know... I know... I should go... thank you for listening.
Commentary: Sister Delaney was disgusted when she was asked who made that confession. She declared that all confessions are confidential.

C8 = 
==Entity? ==
 Listener: Sister Mireya
 Speaker: Confidential
I... uh... you see... Look! I killed several hundred wanderers in one day because all of them thought I was an undiscovered entity...
Commentary: Sister Mireya and concerning researchers strongly believes that the confession provided is grossly exaggerated.

C9 = 
==C.C. ==
 Listener: Sister Britta
 Speaker: Confidential
The deaths of possibly tens of thousands of inhabitants were caused by me, but in the end, it was for the greater good. I executed children who I suspected to be carrying outlawed substances, agents who made crude remarks about me and multiple species. I do not believe what I have done was wrong as they broke the rules that we must follow to preserve the order. We cannot afford any changes, especially with the barriers beginning to collapse. I had to... I cannot be sorry for something I do not regret. They had to perish so we could continue our mission. They had to die for being unorganized. They had to be eaten. I couldn't see anything other than red. It just had to be that way. That's the way it all ends for them.
If I don't establish order, nobody else will. They were not worthy. They were worth less than me, and I had to remove them, for that is my duty. I am not a monster. I am just a person following my ambitions to bring this Liminal Hell to glory. They deserved to die. They deserved to be tortured because suffering is what holds us up.
The Backrooms will make monsters out of you all. It is why you all must find your way home. I know you can be forgiven.
I do not need forgiveness! I am not a monster... I... I never was... this is just my destiny. What I've been doing was for the greater good! I am innocent! I know it! It was my fault they were killed, but I am not evil! I did so out of necessity! I wanted it, but I wanted it to save this place from THEM. The ones that are corrupting this place. God forgot about this world, but I? I will take this place... M.E.G. will take this place. My intentions are Good, and my tactics are pure.
You must understand this place is corruption. You cannot save anyone who ends up here. There are some safe pockets here and there. Your only hope is to escape or find a safe place and stay there.
And I will fix it, I will tear down the old kingdom and build my own on top of its ruins.
I will wish you good luck then. I only hope your either find any escape from this nightmare or you fix this place before it consumes you. Trust me...This nightmare has consumed many.
I appreciate your concern, Sister Britta, but do not worry. I will fix this Liminal Hell. M.E.G will rise, and corruption will fall. The Lords of Sin will be slain and all those who oppose me shall be crushed. Thank you for your time.
Commentary: I gave him that holy weapon and my blessing in hope that he might not perish. You, creatures, do not understand. You will conquer nothing here! Your only hope is escaping this place or finding a safe place to rest. I did not have the heart to tell him this, but this place has already consumed him. He is doomed to become a monster in this endless nightmare. The only thing I can offer anyone now is salvation.

 Listener: Father Ignatius B. Vivaldi.
 Speaker: Confidential
You!? HERE!? Of all people!?
Please...! Do not send me away!
What is your confession...?
I do not want to do this anymore. 
The speaker sniffs in defeat and self-pity.
It was not supposed to be like this. It wasn't. I f*cked up... I am in over my head. I want to go home, but there is no home to go back too. I took things way too far. I ruined the lives of so many people. I drove the one person who did love me away... I do not know if the individuals who are around me love me... I do not deserve to be loved... I am alone and scared of... 
The consequences of your actions? 
Yes... I deserve it too... 
Father Ignatius B. Vivaldi does not write a response for a moment. 
I am surprised by your 'honesty'. I know what situation you are in, and you cannot necessarily get out of it. I am afraid I cannot help you, but I am here to listen if you need someone to talk to. 
Thank you...

 Listener: Sister Yanet
 Speaker: Confidential
I have no idea why I was sent here. I was just strolling around, minding my own business, but then bam, I am all of a sudden here. Please don't hurt me, I am begging you... I don't know exactly how I entered, but I can say I fell unconscious, and just woke up here. I have no weapons, and haven't hurt a fly. I just need to go to an area where I can rest. Do you know a way out that leads to a generally safe level or not?
Commentary: We have explorers that pop into the confessional from random locations by unknown means. This explorer was one of them. I felt bad for this one. They were not even a sinner. I gave them 12 cookies, and almond water from the kitchen and sent them to Level 3511 with another explorer. They both were desperately trying to leave out the church door. We have to reminder everyone who comes here... the door is for sinners.

==C.M. ==
 Listener: Sister Makena
 Speaker: Confidential
The 'man' I am working for is a monster, whether he wants to hear it or not. He is convinced he is bringing order to chaos. He is really adding to the chaos. This world is not ours! We will never conquer this place! I have considered going rogue because I have done several atrocious things upon his command. He is no better than the individuals he claims are corrupting this place. Worse still, some of these individuals are as much as the victim as they are the perpetrator. They got caught up! We all are getting caught in this nightmare. This place is corrupt without them!! This place will be corrupt even when they are gone!!
I am sorry...
Do not be. Do not get involved. I know he has been through here. I do not want any harm to come to any innocent people or entities here. I made a mistake by following him. If I leave, I know that self-serving, self-absorb, narcissistic bastard will hunt me down like an animal. His vision of reality is the only thing that matters to him. Everyone else around him is expendable.

 Listener: Sister Yanet
 Speaker: Confidential
I murdered my aunt several years ago and fled my homeland. I had my reasons for killing her. At the time, I believed she deserved to die. Now... I have regrets. 
The speaker pauses before saying in a quivering voice. 
I also do not regret it. If things were different. I would not have known Symmetris. She is mine daughter. I created her by an accident. I abandoned her. I missed part of her growing up because of my negligence. I am here now. I do my best to spend time with her and answer all of her burning questions expect the one that matters the most... I am such a coward! I have not told my baby girl I am her father... because I am afraid she will hate her for leaving her to wander The Backrooms alone. There are whispers that she is a God. If she destroys me for not coming clean, that is one thing... but her hating me for all eternity is another. 
I appreciate you sharing that with me. I really think you should tell her that you are her father. She deserves to know. Leaving her in the dark will only cause her more pain late on.
Commentary: This confession got the M.E.G.'s attention. They are demanding that I tell them who made this confession. Why tell them anything... I am a Malveillant... I could be lying.

==Colonies and Outposts==
You cannot establish colonies or outposts here without the entire settlement disappearing after 3 days. What happens to the people who decide to try and settle here is unknown.
==Entrances and Exits==
===Entrances===
*Explorers can be transported to the confessional of Level -911 from any level at random and by unknown means. 
*Finding a holy book in Level 11 has a 70% of chance sending you to Level -911. 
*Traversing the water of Level 7 has a 30% of chance of sending you to Level -911. Nearly drowning in Level 7 has a 50% chance of sending you to Level -911. In both cases, you will come up with the Baptismal pool/font. 
*Enter a church in a village in Level -35.
===Exits ===
*Refusing to Level -911 after getting banished will result in Delaney killing you. 
*Getting banished for the church results in you getting lost to the environment outside. The Nuns whisper and speculate that you will either end up falling forever in The Void or get crushed in The Full.
