9 Project Dread Board This is a monthly calendar from the year '50. Cryptic words like 'sprint', 'daily minime', and 'GPI' span the marker-drawn grid -- the grand scheme of production and money.

10 Project Dread Board As time goes on, the numbers in the boxes grow rarer and rarer. The board becomes an empty snowfield in the final days... Only failure and regret dwell in this region.
  • 54
11 You Keep reading -- what happened?

12 Project Dread Board A note in the bottom left corner of the chalkboard says: "SEE THE PROD. SCHEDULE FILAMENT FOR DETAILS."

13 Project Dread Board Your eyes glide over four sections of the imposing green chalkboard...

14 Project Dread Board The handwriting is only partly legible, but you can still make out three slogans: 'Call in, tune out!', 'WIRRÂL UNTETHERED', and 'Heat death of the Universe'...

16 Empathy Everyone is constantly teetering on the edge of the abyss. An abyss of *production*. These squares look orderly but beneath them is chaos, worry, pain...
  • 78
17 Perception (Sight) It looks a bit like an academic calendar. Only much more *brutal*.
  • 16
18 Encyclopedia 'Minime' stands for a 'mini-meeting'. It's part of a bigger framework for managing work called R.U.N. Station 41 tried to implement it a few years ago, but failed.

19 Project Dread Board These lithe, pointy-eared creatures appear to be different types of *welkins*. You make out autumnal *candle-welkins* casting wax-based magic...

24 Project Dread Board One of the welkins -- towering among the rest -- appears to be different, however.

25 Project Dread Board The photo collage depicts barren, icy landscapes wrapped in perpetual night. You see permafrost and glacial landforms, dead trees groaning under the snow.

33 Conceptualization This looks like an *enormous improvement* on the classic Wirrâl setting. Much more *advanced*. Light years ahead.
  • 45
34 Drama You should adopt one of those welkins as your *persona*. No longer a mere man -- but a welkin...
  • 24
35 Kim Kitsuragi The lieutenant can't help but comment: "An inordinate amount of time has gone into drawing these little welkin creatures..."
  • 81
36 You "Why would anyone spend so much time on this?"
  • 40
37 You "Who *are* these creatures? Who drew them? Are they *real*? I have so many questions..."
  • 42

42 Kim Kitsuragi "This looks like *concept art* for a project. It's not really real."

51 Project Dread Board Entire oceans have been frozen from shore to shore. There are pictures of settlements on dried up riverbeds, abandoned in a storm. Animal corpses in the dark, carcasses and bones.

70 Project Dread Board The huldur, the dweorg, the humans, and even headless men... all of them. Purged. Imagine a world filled *only* with welkin! Green welkin, dread welkin... and the high welkin to rule them all.
  • 30
71 Project Dread Board *Translucent welkins* with organs shining under their skin, and even aether welkins -- hailing from the vast emptiness of sidereal space.
  • 27
72 You Examine the welkin -- this is important.
  • 73
73 Project Dread Board It's Vaarahamira, a *high welkin* -- his face white and scarred like cracked marble. This is clearly a welkin supremacist. The note says: 'All non-welkin races will be purged.'

77 Electrochemistry Albeit dark and cold, this vision also feels cosy in its own way. Like eggnog, or morphine! A much needed respite from our own world.

78 Pain Threshold So much pain. Back pain, neck pain, headaches, carpal tunnel, chest pain... no gym membership can make up for working in this manner.
  • 18
79 Perception (Sight) The full text reads: 'Heat death of the Universe is the new black'. Another note says: 'The biggest advancement in role-playing systems since the Thirties'.

80 Shivers Outside, a cold wind wraps the building in its bosom. Snowflakes in the wind. An old woman passes what the locals call the Doomed Commercial Area. She tries hard not to look at the bookstore windows. It's *unwise*.
