## Lore

Anodyne takes place at and inside a hole located near Dissociate, the surreal environment mentioned in its sibling album Concorde. The hole for years is known to scream random memories both visually and audibly. It has a measured diameter of approximately 11m, and a depth and underground geography that was unknown for years. Cinnimin who recently reunited with PCB again was reluctant at first to be part but eventually agreed to the thought of listening to childhood memories.

### OP Dreamscout

3 years after the hole was discovered, 6 teams were made to explore the hole which explored the holes 2 days apart from each other. All of the individuals mentioned are from many different militaries across the world, part of a league created by the United Nations under codename OP Dreamscout. The operation was to descend a raft down by rope and pulley systems anchored with multiple safety devices on the raft, team, and surface, then record as much audio as possible.

1. The first team managed 60% of its geography, recording 42 minutes of audio at a high of 68dB, finding lake sized amount of water with an estimated depth of 62m. The team was made of 3: Richard Karlson, Anya Petrov, and Inessa Pasternak.
2. The second team almost the full 100% diving under the water into more nostalgic emotions, recording up to 74 minutes of audio at a high of 67dB. The team was made of 4: Dean Halford, Kelly Hansen, James Fisher, and Harry Yellow.
3. The third team did multiple tests above the waters surface including playing noises back and tasting the water, recording 35 minutes of audio at a high of 204dB. The team was made of 4: Pete Hanson, Marcus Thompson, Gideon Brown (dead), and Craig White (dead).
4. The fourth team ventured in 4 days after the originally planned time, but continued a few more experiments successfully, recording 72 minutes of audio at a high of 64dB. The team was made of 2: Jeff Gobrachev and Ivan Baranov.
5. The fifth team entered with the plan of playing with the audio, successfully recording 79 minutes of audio at a high of 68dB. The team was made of 3: Cinnimin, Prowler Ambers, and U22 Class "Blockbuster"
6. The last team entered to explore the longest, recording 115 minutes of audio at a high of 66dB. The team was made of 5: Jordan Oswaldo, Jerry Jackson, Fredrick Holland, Tim Perra, Candice Hunter, and Michael Reggie.

### SSRI01 Incident

This incident has been mentioned but only few pages were leaked about it. However as far as the public currently knows (page written 1/28/22), two people were brutally decapitated when they tried shooting where the noise was coming from.
