Эндрю: Alright, why'd you call us over?

Кэт: I'm sure he has his reasons.

Стретч: Uhh, well… you guys know about Level 289, right?

Эндрю: Yeeeeaaah…?

Кэт: Well, we just updated it. Of course we know about it.

Стретч: Okay, I get it, but something doesn't add up…

Кэт: What doesn't add up?

Стретч: Level 289… nothing makes sense.

Эндрю: What do you mean by that?

Стретч: I know this sounds strange since everything in The Backrooms is random, but Level 289 is just… too random.

Эндрю: About that 'reasoning' Kat?

Кэт: Shush.

Стретч: Yeah yeah, I know I sound dumb right now, but think about it…

Эндрю: I'm thinking the Almond Water has gotten to your head.

Стретч: Mmm, very funny…

Кэт: Bro, I'm sorry. I can't think of anything that relates to what you're talking about.

Стретч: Okay listen for a sec. Every single Level we’ve found in these past few months has always been coherent. Level 0 is a set of yellow rooms, 1 is a white parking lot storage facility hybrid thing, 2 is a pipe tunnel, 3 is a prison-esque electrical station, you get the idea. They’ve always followed a certain “theme,” if you will. But this is different. 289 doesn’t have that coherence; it’s all over the place. It’s like three or four different places in one level. Something about that just seems… weird. Which brings me to my point, what's the theme of Level 289?

Эндрю: …I guess you have a point.

Стретч: Exaaaaaactly! I have seen various M.E.G. Operatives just flat out say it makes no sense.

Кэт: So… what's the point you're trying to get to?

Стретч: Right… this!… These were notes found by The Misfits back on 289.

водаводаводаводаводаводаводаводаводаводаводаводаводаводавода

It untangles me. Why must it exist?

Стретч: Sadly, the rest of the notes obtained are in bad condition and are either unreadable or gibberish. I pulled out the ones I thought were the most interesting. Specifically, for the water bits, and the name given to us called "The Shavic".

Эндрю: We already know the water can become sentient.

Стретч: Well yeah, but this mention of… the flow of time and space is just very ominous in a way.

Кэт: Most of it sounds like nonsense.

Эндрю: Seems like he's attempting to make sense of something that doesn't.

Стретч: And that is exactly what I am doing. Thank you.

Кэт: What about this Shavic guy?

Эндрю: Could just be a lost Wanderer that went crazy with the notes or something.

Стретч: Whatever these are, we should keep these. They could be very important later on.

Кэт: Yes, I firmly agree.

Эндрю: Eh… I suppose so.

Стретч: Now, I'm gonna have to ask you guys something… we need to cancel any more expeditions to Level 289.

Эндрю: Wh—

Кэт: Umm, I don't know if we could do that. It's very important to discover its irregular properties to protect the people.

Стретч: Yes, I know that… but I feel like we know that Level 289 is too dangerous to just send our operatives and especially our best teams into there. The Misfits were almost stuck in 289! They almost died! I worry for all of our Operati—

Эндрю: You mean worrying for Megan… Hmm…?

Стретч: …

Кэт: Enough. No need to stir the pot any further. Stretch is right, we need to protect our Operatives as well.

Стретч: I'd say wait a year or two, and we can return to Level 289. We still don't know much about The Backrooms, and anything could happen.

Эндрю: Fine… seems like I'm outnumbered anyways.

Кэт: It's settled then. We'll wait a year to continue research on Level 289.
