The two friends share an office in the tax department when Victim01 leaves for the storage department to get more paper for the printer at 700 hours-17 minutes. At 700 hours-33 minutes, Victim02 becomes worried and goes to check on him. Both Victims had discovered a maintenance door that wasn’t there previously. Reportedly, Victim01 entered 18-9-6-20 and was shocked to find a seemingly endless, infinitely high, warehouse complex. At 700 hours-53 minutes, Witness01 went to investigate, and found Victim02 stumbling out of the Vault with numerous cuts and bruises, shouting, “THEY KILLED *Data Extracted*! THEY’RE AFTER ME! HELP ME SHUT THIS THING!”. After slamming the Vault shut, Witness01 and Victim02 immediately notified the police. Audio Prompt #01 800 hours-12 minutes“Victim02: CAN YOU JUST TELL ME WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON!?!?Det. Mitchell: Please just calm down, okay? If you stay cal-V2: CALM DOWN!?

Nothing matters in the end. *Laughs Once Again* All that matters is that, in the end, we…all…die.” Victim02 was quickly detained and sent to a mental institution. Witness01 was interviewed later, and was a lot more compliant. Audio Prompt #02 800 hours-62 minutes“Witness01: So that door thingy is like a…portal or something, to this place called the Rift?Det. Mitchell: Basically. And now, we need you to recount everything you remember about the incident.W01: Alright. It was about 7:53, when I went down to…what do you guys call it, the Vault? Anyway, earlier *Data Extracted* had told me his buddy was taking a while down in storage so he was going to go check on him. A while later, I was on my coffee break and I thought I should go check on the guys to make sure everything was okay, but when I looked in their office, they weren’t there. Now it was my turn to do the investigating. I was walking down to storage when I heard *Data Extracted* call out for help. Immediately, I started running. When I got to the Vault, *Data Extracted* was running at me shouting ‘They killed him!’ or something and when I looked behind him, I saw…I’m not sure WHAT it is. It looked sorta human, but skinny and burnt like it had been through a fire. He got out safely and said ‘Help me shut this!’. Once we had, I looked at him and said ‘What the heck was that!’. He said ‘I don’t know, but it killed *Data Extracted*’. So then we called the police and you guys showed up.DM: Interesting. This information will really help further investigation, thank you for your time.W01: No problem. Oh, by the way, what happened to *Data Extracted*?DM: He’ll be fine. He just kinda cracked under pressure. After pulling a gun on me we had to sedate him.W01: Huh? But…all the guards here have guns.DM: We have a covert agent with a tranquilizer just in case.” Witness01 was released later with a minor reward for compliance and keeping the situation quiet. Further exploration of the Rift revealed the mutilated body of Victim01. The PITF recovered the body and sent a condolence, consultation, and negotiation check to the family of Victim01. Four sites have been revealed and sealed off to the general public. END DATA FILE #1 Data File #29/24/2015Event recount #2Inspector on site: Det.
