Welcome to Project Erebus

If you are reading this, you have been assigned to work on Project Erebus, one of the most important and dangerous aspects of the Outerworld Project. You must understand that this is a matter of utmost secrecy, and that you will have only been selected for this project if your loyalty to the Technate is utterly assured. Keep in mind that leaking any information regarding this project, even its existence, is punishable by termination. Should our work fall into the wrong hands, the consequences could be unimaginably devastating. The fate of humanity, not just in our world but across all worlds, is in our hands.

What is Project Erebus?

Erebus is the designation given to an unusual substance identified across multiple Earth-parallels, and recently on extraterrestrial bodies within our own solar system. Project Erebus is dedicated to the study and containment of this substance so as to neutralise the threat it poses to human existence. The Project is spread out across a myriad of highly classified facilities, the majority of which you will never visit or even learn of. Erebus is considered a top priority of the State Intelligence Service and the Technate as a whole, and the project therefore has access to practically limitless resources in pursuit of its goals.

The Erebus Substance

The substance itself is highly unusual, typically manifesting as what appears to be a liquid, although no substructure has ever been identified, rendering its identity as a state of matter uncertain. It always appears to be utterly black, absorbing all wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation with 100% efficiency. In its liquid state, it exhibits superfluidity, rendering it difficult to capture and contain. It does not appear to be affected by temperature, altering state to form solid structures apparently at random, without regard for environmental conditions. In microgravity conditions, the liquid coalesces into cubes rather than spheres, indicating that it is not affected by gravity in the traditional manner.
