The following account was recorded in the agent's log during your transmission: Umm, a thick blanket of frost coats everything in a deserted, Soviet-era research station, like, buried under a layer of snow and ice. The air's bitterly cold and the darkness is absolute, punctuated only by the faint hum of still-functional equipment and a low-frequency vibration that's somehow keeping a collection of ancient, decrepit computers online. A series of impossible, fractal-like ice formations have grown around the machinery, pulsing with an eerie blue light that seems to be sustaining the systems. It smells like diesel fuel and burned wiring, like something caught fire and then just... stopped.
