Descent to the Damned

With a hint of dread and curiosity we delved into the subterranean levels of the compound. A sprawling, carefully planned web of laboratories greeted us. Our unit split in two: one half was sent to investigate the laboratories for more insight into the purpose of Celebration. The other continued its descent. Our scans insisted on the presence of organic material, and it didn't take long to uncover why: the lower levels of Celebration are given over exclusively to observation cells. The mummified remains of adAkkaria citizens are still imprisoned in these cramped compartments. A digital interface next to each chamber offered each occupant's name, the phase of the trial they were subject to, and the observers' notes. Meanwhile, we recovered the following message: Our trial run in the Haliios system was a complete and utter disaster. The initial deployment of the subject known as haToor Gailon went as planned. As soon as we were confronted by the Solphani barbarian forces, the subject lost control. While the tempest wiped out the primitive armies, ours too were decimated. It should be understood that above all, these subjects are vile and disturbed. The sooner the Invocator is online, the better.
