Written in the form of electronic emails, documents, recorded command prompts, and diary entries, this novella concerns a secret Muneral Inc. facility set in a remote island off the coast of Sweden. Experiment no. 33 is designed to answer the elusive question of humanity's origin... One which scientists of the facility are not entirely sure of, but regardless, conduct it with rigor.
One scientist observes a Muneral Inc. employee, who she shares a traumatic past with, speaking and thinking poetry into the experiment enclosure. She is certain that is what will cause the experiment to fail, while others ignore her until it is too late.
Told through multiple perspectives, including the Quantum Alignment Machine with its to-be-told, tragic and disturbing past, this story reveals a different side to Muneral Inc. where these remaining documents from Facility 100 (and... beyond?) reveal the failure of the first attempt at conducting Experiment no. 33.
