Unregistered Scene Demo

Story“We don’t control. We don’t contain. We don’t protect.” At least, that’s the official line.“We’re just an insurance company under an anomaly response agency.

The organization has thoughtfully assigned you a new partner. He never shows himself. Instead, he works with you through a mobile terminal—though he insists he’s right there at the scene. It’s strange, but you let it go.
