Major Update

All Employees,

We understand from our daily incident reports that the liminal spaces have become slightly more dangerous to our employees. As a company and a family we've decided to invest in our employee preparedness training. Going forward please enjoy these features:

A Heads-Up-Display or HUD that reads your biometric vitals.
An A.L.I.C.E. system outfitted on your biohazard suit for carrying gear and supplies
A stabilizer for your body cam to reduce headbob and adjust FOV

As we learn more about the entities inside the rooms we will share that information directly with our staff and operators. Currently we know that these entities do not like to be seen. It's almost as though their existence in your consciousness is as uncomfortable to them as their appearance is to you. Anything from our side of the door (including your blood) will attract other... inhabitants.

As your safety depends on it please remember:

Lights will deter the inhabitants from entering areas but won't stop them once they're aware of you.
Cameras can also help as a defense but you have to be monitoring them.
Portable generators powering all your equipment require constant fuel.
It is generally better to have the most minimal presence.
Beware the water.

Lastly,

Do not communicate or interact with any government personnel including the military. This is grounds for immediate termination!
