Black Ascension Project

## WARNING!

The article below this page may reveal some certain mechanics of the game. It's highly recommended to play the game first. This section might include removed and currently available things that may happen during gameplay.

## INCIDENT

Years before the incident happened, in a space station owned by Parallax Research, a group of researchers found out an extremely cold substance in outer space. This substance's temperature can reach below 6 Kelvin, around 6 times lower than liquid nitrogen.

Because of this, the team tried to break the laws of thermodynamics by mixing liquid nitrogen and this unknown substance together into a small tank. It went fine at first, but then, the temperature dropped so fast that the mixture changed its color to black. Then, the lights started flickering and the station loses gravity. Some lab equipments got dragged into the tank. The temperature recorded in the tank was -4109 Kelvin before the tank broke down and suck literally everything in the lab, including most of the researchers, into what was now a black hole. A full-scale evacuation order has been issued, however everything happened so fast that most employees present in the station are considered dead, considering the force and the vacuum breach in the station minutes since the tank broke down.

Only few survivors managed to escape the station through the escape pods.

## PROTOCOL

During the construction of the old facility, a software developer added a backdoor that allow them to execute a secret protocol that disables all power lasers of the Lithium Solaris Reactor and maximize all cooling systems and use the ECD in order to cool it down rapidly, and the unknown substance was somehow brought to the module without anyone noticing it. Fortunately, that developer died due to a car accident against a semitruck.

Few weeks before the incident happened, an employee named `[[SENDER_NOT_FOUND]]` was doing their daily debugging routine when they found out about the backdoor. Suprisingly, they were also one of the few survivors on the space station incident, and was the only research team members that managed to made it out of the laboratory sector. He then contacted some of his coworkers, telling them about the existence of the protocol. Although it was kept as a secret, he left his laptop in the cafeteria while ordering his lunch and it caught the attention of the Destroyer, who managed to extract the file from that employee's laptop.

On the day the incident happened, he send everyone present at the facility an anonymous message saying:

`"You must leave this facility, or die."`

Everyone thought it's just a joke.

But not for the Destroyer. He had the activation code on him, and all he need to do is push a button and escape. His plan although worked, he did not expect the entire facility to be locked down the moment it happened, and he just experienced how getting sucked into a black hole feels like. **Almost** every single employee present at the facility died at that time.

## ACTIVATION

It cannot be activated through normal means, even if you have Permit Level 5 and/or administrative access to the system's code. You need the activation code to activate it.
