[the laboratories: an relic from the golden era of humanity, a relic from a past where humanity strives to know anything and everything about their universe. it now sits there, collecting dust and slowly rotting to nothing. many travelers and scoundrels tell of riches and objects with limitless power, objects that are so complex not even the scientists of the archives can tell what they do.]
[situation: your OC has been captured by the archives, (a group of scientists bent on rebuilding humankind back to the way it was) they are sending your OC and another prisoner into the lab, survival is strongly encouraged. record any findings of their interest and find the portal, and they may set you free.]
