ARC/HIVE #
The logo for ARC/HIVE, as seen in the video In The Dark and later used for the password screen for the Tekka Interview, with Rebecca, the first synth. Rebecca was a terminally ill lab assistant at the company, suffering from CERS (Chronic Environmental Respiratory Syndrome).
ARC/HIVE is an organisation that develops technology. They played a role in Operation Trinity to get access to Strassman, Skys and Dallus Lauren. This document also helped link the character Dallus Lauren to the “In The Dark” music video, which takes place at ARC/HIVE. The company name is also a play on the word ‘archive’.
We learn more about the company’s experiments in the Project D.U.S.T. Research Proposal. The proposal dates back to 2021, but was only declassified exactly 10 years later by Nex Gen. Dr. Elias Mortem submitted the proposal as ARC/HIVE’s head of R&D (Research & Development). The research proposal also refers to Project S.Y.K.O, likely referring to the character Syko.
Experiments #
A woman in the altilium chordata tank (the glass on the top left states this). The number 2 indicates that we might be looking at the second version of the tank, mentioned in Project D.U.S.T.
We also see a mysterious printer at ARC/HIVE, printing some type of data directly onto a long roll of (presumably) paper.
