Hey, can you get me a beer? Yeah, tell me. What am I doing next? Tighten 120 Nm and put 2.5 bars in. I haven't been to a bar in years. So, 2.5 hundred kilopascals. Pascals. Quite a lot of pascals. Will you
give up? I'll show you. Easier said than done.
Motonet. Motonet. Motonet.
Welcome to Dr. Creven's Dungeon. In 1988, deep beneath the remote Scottish Highlands, a secret government experiment took place in an abandoned military base. What started as a routine study quickly descended into chaos as the team encountered something far beyond their control. Decades later, investigators are sent to uncover what really happened in those dark, forgotten tunnels. But they soon realize they aren't alone. The whispers still echo through the halls, and something ancient... Waiting beneath the earth. Tonight's feature-length story. As ever before we begin, a word of caution. Tonight's tale may contain strong language as well as descriptions of violence and horrific imagery. If that sounds like your kind of thing, then let's begin.
Day One The year was 1988. The Cold War had reached its twilight, but whispers of paranoia still drifted through the halls of power in Britain. Deep in the Scottish highlands, hidden from prying eyes, lay the remnants of a decommissioned military base, once a strategic stronghold during World War II, but now a forgotten ruin buried beneath the earth. Long sinks abandoned by soldiers, the base was cold, damp and crumbling with the duress of time, its tunnels stretching like veins through the mountain's heart. To most, it was nothing more than a relic, but to a select few within the Ministry of Defence, it was the perfect location for something no one was meant to see. The landscape surrounding the base was as desolate as the base itself, wild, unwelcoming and utterly forsaken.
Rugged hills stretched for miles, covered in dark, windswept heather, seemed to absorb the dim light of the grey sky. The air was sharp and damp, carrying the scent of peat and rain, and the wind howled through the highland valleys with a mournful, bone-chilling wail. The sky, perpetually overcast, cast an eerie pallor over the land, making it seem as though the sun had abandoned this place long ago. Even the locals, those hardy souls who lived in the scattered villages at the edges of the highlands, spoke of the area with hushed voices. They called it a cursed place, where the earth itself seemed to hold grudges. Nothing grew there except the stubborn patches of grass and moss that clung to the jagged rocks.
No bird circled overhead, and the sound of animals was conspicuously absent, so even nature had decided this part of the world was unfit for life. Beneath the surface, the base's labyrinthine tunnels delved deep into the rock, a sprawling network of long-forgotten passageways and reinforced chambers. The walls were slick with moisture, the once sterile concrete now cracked and eroded, dripping with condensation from the cold earth above. Water pooled in the lower levels, stagnant and foul-smelling, and the distant echoes of the team's footsteps reverberated unnervingly through the corridors. The deeper they went, the more oppressive the atmosphere became, heavy as though the weight of the mountain itself was pressing down on them.
The lights, few and flickering, barely pierced the gloom, casting shadows that twisted into strange shapes along the walls. Every turn, every corner felt like stepping into the maw of some ancient, forgotten creature that had been lying dormant beneath the mountains The air grew thinner and colder the further you went, as if you were descending not into the earth, but into the very bowels of something far older and more malevolent. It was a place that seemed to reject human presence, as though the land and the base alike remembered what had transpired there decades before, and they did not want to be disturbed again. Here in the shadow of looming peaks, the government's most secretive and morally dubious project was reborn.
Project Blackwater Dr. Eleanor Carr stood at the entrance of the underground facility, her sharp eyes scanning the horizon before she descended into the darkened tunnels.
