The Distortion

The Distortion is a pocket dimension discovered by Enigma Enhancements in the original timeline from before the reset. It was discovered when Enigma Enhancements employee, Doctor Baldwin, was interrogating an android that was discovered trying to break into an Enigma Facility. He repeatedly shocked the android until the android gave him the information, although, the android activated an emergency teleportation (it is unknown why the android had this feature) which malfunctioned due to the electricity and resulted in a tear in reality leading to The Distortion. Enigma Enhancements was contacted by I.F.O.U.S shortly after, which resulted in a joint project between the two organisations to investigate The Distortion.

In the new timeline from after the reset, The Distortion was accessed by The Agency through Project Dawnbreaker. A I.F.O.U.S soldier that was left in The Distortion before the reset was released from The Distortion by Dawnbreaker due to there only being one Distortion, that is connected to every universe. The Agency contacted Enigma Enhancements and requested that their Head of Research would help them with Dawnbreaker but due to not having a Head of Research, Tod was sent instead.

### Appearance

The Distortion is an infinite network of grey panelled walls and black floors, it is unknown why it looks like this. While inside, your vision has a sort of overlay, or a filter, that looks like VHS tape static. There was reports of a building inside The Distortion, although it is unknown what was inside due to only I.F.O.U.S knowing.

The Distortion is a unknown realm outside of our reality. The laws of physics seem to mostly apply in the Distortion as well but there are exceptions. Its known that there exists life in the Distortion. So far only 3 creatures have been found all with inhumane look and abilities:

1. Watcher: Dark entities which are almost invisible in dimmed light or darkness. Mostly friendly but they watch people and seem to have an positive cognitive effect. Spotting them causes the observer to feel happy satisfied and even euphoric. The subject if it fears the dark wont do that anymore for 12hours. The watcher don't interact with humans or other entities of the distortion.

2. Traveller: The traveller is the only entity known to have left the distortion. it is purple with yellow stains. It too has a cognitive effect on any person who sees it. If a subject sees the traveller it will see the traveller sort of "glitched" not really able to see it good enough to make features like nose eyes or mouth. The subject also will get the urge to go closer and take a look at the traveller if the subject does that the traveller will grab the victim and pull it into the Distortion where the victim will never be found.

3. The seeker: The seeker is a white entity with giant black eyes. The name the seeker doesn't originate from the federation it was found in a sort of notebook in a unreadable language "seeker" was the only understandable word next to a drawing of the entity. The seeker seems to be able to manifest everywhere within  the distortion. The seeker is extremely strong and fast. It will immediately brutally murder any person it spots.

The Distortion appears as a 13km high infinite tunnel with weak lights. Electronics stop working properly inside the Distortion. All factions besides Enigma Enhancements (who discovered the Distortion) and The Federation are forbidden to enter the Distortion to prevent a destabilization of the barrier between our reality and the Distortion.
