A video of inside a red electronics cable is accompanied by text saying "Look into infinity", "You are now worthy", "One of many", "One of millions", and "One to another" repeatedly flashing on the screen. The title card "Generation One: The Social Experiments" is shown. The video then shows papers taped to a wall, one containing a red drawing of the Showfall logo that has been crossed out and has the word "LIES" written underneath it. Other papers say "DO NOT WATCH", "IT ISN'T A SHOW", and "IT ISN'T FOR US", accompanied by static and "GEN 1" written in the top left corner. A shot showing a person in a suit wearing a Showfall Media lapel pin with their face covered in the video by a white box appears. A second shot shows missing posters have been taped over the papers. All four missing posters are identical and depict a masked person along with the phone number "484-749-3255".
