    Summary

    Porter had served only three years of his life sentence, and he was getting pretty tired of it. How convenient that on the eve of his incarceration-versary, an eerily charming man convinces him and his fellow inmates to accept his company’s insane offer. It was too good to be true, but “high chance of death” be damned, Porter was finally getting out of there.
    Of course the reality of the deal he’d been given finally hit him once he found himself practically buried alive thousands of metres below sea level. The other prisoners in his team died, murdered by what Porter could only describe as a monster. Surely Porter’s life would go next, and this could all end. Surely
    (It was anything but the end, as it soon turned out.)

    //aka my Pressure AU where the expendable you play as is actually a character of their own, the plot is more structured and can be read completely outside the confines of video-game logic, or something. blehhh original characters be upon ye
    Addendum: writing, chapters and plot points are very prone to change. Any new chapters posted are their first drafts, and older chapter will update sporadically as I keep editing them.

    Summary

    [Written by Dragonfruitflamb3, edited from chapters 9 to 32 by CopperNuggets]

    Sebastian Solace is trying the best he can to work his way out of the Hadal Blacksite while still staying sane as he has to deal with the pathetic human expendables.
    Unfortunately for him, he might be two steps away from snapping, all thanks to a chatty new 'friend' who's far more lucky than he'd like. Though, he'll have his fun with how readily they listen to him.

    You are a nosy little newbie who Very Much So should Not be on death row, so getting an opportunity to avoid that is great! You're going to take this chance to continue your work, and maybe also find out what the heck is up with the monsters down here? Because those exist. Apparently.
    They said something about escaping, making it to the end, yadda yadda. For now, there's research to collect and documents to earn.

    Summary

    INTERFACING - You flip the small, plastic card around, and back over, and around once more. It feels too easy. Flip, flip, flip.
    IDENTIFICATION CARD - Hello! My name was Mercer Patrovich. Here’s a picture of my face, taken roughly two months ago. Note the distinct lack of a hole in my brain when the picture was taken.

    -

    When a CEO falls out of his office with a hole in his head, freshly partnered Harry and Kim are asked to look into it. Things only get weirder when they find the scene disturbed, not in an attempt to clean anything up, but rather to make it easier for the RCM to identify the victim.
