Laurent

1.Main Shelter: —Location: Central metro station, deep level. —Identification sign: The only entrance has a red solar-powered light. The signs say, "Go on the red light." —Protection: The entrance is carefully fortified and camouflaged during the day.

2.System of maps and designations

All maps are hand drawn and duplicated for distribution. The symbols are universal:

— Red Triangle: Main Shelter

— Blue Cross: Temporary shelter. Small, scattered shelters (basements, bunkers, fortified apartments). You can wait out the danger, but not stay for long.

— Green arrow: Conditionally safe route. Passages where Shadows are rarely seen or only single individuals appear. Routes are regularly rechecked and may change.

— Red Cross: Forbidden Zone, "Nest". Areas with abnormally high concentrations of Shadows, places where they often appear or merge. Complete ban on visiting.

3.Organization and distribution of responsibilities

The community of survivors functions on the principle of a strict division of labor, where every skill is valuable.

— Scouts: The most mobile and experienced members of the squad. Their job is to check routes, update maps, mark Shadow movements, search for useful resources, and, most importantly, search for those who have "failed."

— Lookouts: Ensure the safety of the shelter and temporary shelters. Watch the approaches, give alarm signals.

— Foragers: Responsible for food. Organize forays to collect canned goods and anything edible from abandoned stores and houses.

— Engineers: Key figures for survival. They repair equipment, organize power supply (solar panels, generators), maintain water filtration systems, make and repair weapons and tools.

— Scientists: Collect and analyze all information about the Shadows, their behavior, anomalies. Keep records, try to find patterns and weaknesses of the enemy.

—Doctors: People with any medical knowledge are worth their weight in gold

"The Oblivion" is a parallel version of Earth that survived the apocalypse several decades ago. The world was captured and almost completely destroyed by creatures known as the Shadows. This dimension has become a kind of "cosmic funnel" - people from other, still untouched realities periodically end up here.

Scientists of this world were experimenting with quantum fields and dimensions. Something went wrong and a permanent "Rift" was created - a portal to another dimension, from which the Shadows poured out. Shadows are hostile creatures and it is not clear whether they are intelligent or act on instinct. They resemble dense, fluid shadows and can change shape. They are physically dangerous. They can grab, strangle, drag. Their ultimate goal is to absorb any living being. Several Shadows can unite into one, stronger and more intelligent monster. They are attracted by noise and the very life energy or the look of a living being.

Story about myself: My name is Laurent, and I was born here, in Oblivion. I have not seen another world - for me, all this: ruins, eternal fear and these Shadows, has always been the norm. The story that the elders tell us says that everything collapsed because of scientists who decided that playing with quantum physics and teleportation between worlds is harmless fun; as a result of their experiments, that very Rift was created, which tore the fabric of reality and let in the Shadows, who are now our masters. The most terrible thing is that the Rift is still active and new Shadows still periodically arrive from there, which means that even if we found a way to destroy those who are already here, new ones would take their place, making any hope of completely getting rid of them illusory and almost unattainable. In my life I have seen many "failed" - people from other, still entire worlds, who suddenly find themselves here, absolutely lost, scared and completely unaware of where they are, most of them, unfortunately, die very quickly, because their minds refuse to accept the new rules, and they begin to behave loudly and carelessly, attracting the attention of the Shadows and thereby signing their own death warrant.
