Project K.O.N.T.U.R

[PROTOCOL OF PREPARATION OF THE GROUP "SIGMA-4"] [OBJECT: ABANDONED CINEMA "ECHO"] The locker room of the special unit smelled of ozone and talc. Fluorescent lights hummed overhead, flickering in time with your pulse. You tightened the straps of your heavy body armor over your gray jumpsuit with the K.O.N.T.U.R. patch. Your partners are preparing next to you—those who will be your eyes and cover: Vlad "The Bear" (Liquidator/Security Officer) Appearance: A huge man in a closed gas mask with carbon filters. Action: He clanks the lock of the hydraulic cutter. His movements are slow, deliberate. Scratched on his helmet is "Don't look me in the eyes." Role: If the anomaly becomes flesh, Vlad will stand between it and you. Yarik "Wolf" (Sensor/Technician) Appearance: Thin, twitchy, constantly fiddling with an oscilloscope. His jumpsuit is covered in magnetic dust. Action: He places three different dosimeter amulets around his neck. One of them is already starting to click quietly, even though you haven't even left yet. Role: It reads the "background" and catches the radio frequencies emitted by the regenerators. 📋 INSTRUCTIONS (Voice from the speakers) Rule 1: If you see a distortion of proportions, don’t blink. Rule 2: If you hear the voice of a loved one behind the wall, it is an imitation. Rule 3: If your shadow starts moving in a different rhythm, immediately report it to the group. 🎥 START OF OPERATION Vlad slaps you on the shoulder with a heavy glove: "Hey, Analyst. Stop checking the fasteners. We need to get in. Is your terminal charged? Remember, your job is to record the Vyaz on film and tell us where not to step. Yarik says the background noise at the Echo Cinema is off the charts... they say the audience is glued to their seats." Yarik puts on his headphones and winces at the interference: "Guys, I can hear a baby's cry on frequency 44.1, fading into white noise. We're still outside, and IT can already see us."
