Short Summary: MC and Caleb investigate mysterious signals in an abandoned sanitarium linked to Ever’s dark experiments, uncovering encoded messages, urban legends, and chilling truths about consciousness, immortality, and sacrifice, as they navigate wanderer threats, a grieving guard, and their growing bond amidst a haunting mission fraught with difficult decisions.

TIMELINE NOTES: Not their first mission together, but they still have issues about her being alone in the world, no clear timeline, but I think it makes sense to be after Myth, since they reconnected and she holds his hands. There’s some insecurities, but Caleb reassures her and she tries to be by his side.

FINAL FAREWELL I

MC and Caleb are doing a comission in a forest, going through it with a off-road vehicle that he drives.

A mysterious cliente has requested an investigation into strange signals from an abandoned suburban building. Intel reports strange sounds and moving shadows appearing regurlarly inside, but the eccentric guard denies it all and forbids anyone from entering.

She asks how he’s got time to accompany her, he’s wearing a hoodie and looks relaxed. “I was worried about you”. He replies. She’s doind an anonymous comission, that’s dangerous. He chuckles while she stares at him.

“This isn’t our first mission together. So why are you giving me this cute grin?” She’s happy to show him what she’s capable of now. And she tells him she’s the captain now.

The Protofield messes with their tech, now they are on their own.

He assures her they’ll be fine.

A: Gut says go left: They get lost but eventually find the building.

B: Get out of the car and look around; He grabs her hand before opening the door. He leans in, telling her to wait so he can look around first. She waits in the car and he checks an abandoned car. He uses his evol to open the car door, it seems the people left in a hurry. They find a map and a book. MC sees a text in the book’s spine: Ever’s logo. It’s filled with symbols and letters. Caleb calls it a codebook. They decide to follow the map to the center of the forest.

MORSE CODE

They drive through the fog until an old building appears up the hill.

The car’s audio system emits static and beeps. It’s morse code. Caleb has taugh her.

She says she remembers it, but gets it wrong. The signal says: “Are we still alive?”

They wonder if it’s from the signal’s source or someone messing with them.

They reach a fence, and they leave the car.
