Author: The Archivist (Unit 734)

Subject: Operation UpWard / Motivation Protocol

Date: [CURRENT CYCLE REDACTED] / Original File Date: 1985

The dust in the bunker is thicker today. I had to clean the VCR heads three times just to get a clear picture. This tape... it was hidden at the bottom of a locked metal crate. The label simply says "1985 - ALL HANDS."

This is the briefing right before the UpWard raid. The big one. The children's asylum.

Listening to the tape now is difficult. I was so motivated. We truly believed we were going to march in there, clean out the monsters, and come home heroes. It is hard to watch, knowing what we know now about that building. I know the kinds of things that wait in those halls.

But I also know the Dark Pals. They were the best we had. Even if the raid went wrong. I know some of them are still out there fighting. They have to be. I will keep the lights on down here until they return.

They walked into the nightmare so the rest of the world could sleep. Do not let them be forgotten.

Keep the feedback coming, let us know on Discord what you're hoping to see in the full release, and don't forget to wishlist it here:
