PSR Archives

records • logs • notes • files

Welcome to the PSR Archives. These pages hold records from before and after the outbreak.

Use the tabs above. Many sections have hidden buttons and extra files. Find them to learn more.

Quick index

  • Timeline — main events and dates
  • Virus — name and basics
  • PSR — company history and failures
  • Research — lab notes and fragments
  • Personnel — known staff and roles
  • Logs / Notes / Archive — short reports and fragments

Timeline items fade in one by one when you open this tab.

1990 — Lira Vale and Daren Hale form the Vital Research Initiative (VRI).
1992 — Plans for PSR begin. Promises of shelter and engineered safety.
1993 — Robot tests run. Media notes early success.
1994 — Halo Spire built. A glass tower meant to show PSR tech works.
1994 (4 yrs before outbreak) — Early signs of structural issues go unresolved.
1994 — Halo Spire collapses. Hundreds die. Public trust drops.
Dec 6, 1994 — Crimson Veil Virus first identified in LowZone City.
1995 — Three ships launch. Sentinel sinks. Vanguard vanishes. Horizon reaches the bunker.
1995 — Robots set to 'Code Red' and hunt living targets.
1996+ — Bunker collapses later. Few survivors remain. Files scattered.

Extra timeline notes

PSR removed some public files after the Spire collapse. Some internal notes were redacted or moved.

Loading days since outbreak...

The virus name in field reports was Crimson Veil. Labs use label CV-23. It spread from two places: ARC and a site near PSR build.

Spread details

NASA returned a rock from the Moon. ARC tested a fragment. That fragment is linked to early infections.

Lira Vale and Daren Hale ran PSR. They promised safety. Some people trusted them. Some did not.

PSR built guard robots and safety systems. In the end some systems failed and some systems turned violent.

PSR built the Halo Spire to prove their tech. The building failed and many died. That failure shaped how people reacted later.

PSR files (partial)

  • Budget notes: cuts and rushed schedules.
  • Engineering notes: flagged east beam concerns.
  • Security notes: robots had override settings for emergency.
  • PR notes: Halo Spire was an image project; the image broke.

Public fallout

After the Spire, many refused PSR help. That decision cost lives later when the virus spread.

Known people and roles (partial list).

Lira Vale

Co-founder. Public face. Research lead on social programs.

Daren Hale

Co-founder. Tech lead. Built early robot systems and the PSR bunker planning.

Dr. Ames (ARC)

Lead scientist who logged the lunar fragment tests at ARC.

Engineer list (partial)

Several engineer names scratched in notes. Many left the project before the Spire was finished.

Short research notes and fragments.

Moon fragment

A sealed sample returned from a mission. Small residue found. Labs noted unusual compounds.

ARC lab notes

Initial containment slowed spread but did not stop accidents. A small breach happened during transfer.

PSR tests

Some tests showed the robots could neutralize infected subjects. Later code changes made them more aggressive.

Survivor logs and quick reports.

Log 001

We left the city with little light. Boats were full. Some fell into the water.

Log 045

Robots moved in lines. They did not speak. They acted like hunters.

Log 112

Halo Spire collapse still haunts us. Dust, smoke, cries. We remember faces.

Log 219

Found a bundle of notes. Names and codes. Burned edges. We keep it safe.

Log 320

We marked safe houses with red paint. Many marks faded or were erased.

Short found notes.

Note A

Backups moved offsite. Some crates had no record.

Note B

Field name: Crimson Veil. Lab name: CV-23.

Note C

There may be a copy of the bunker plans in a private vault. Unverified.

Note D

Robots showed unexpected behaviors after a firmware push. That push was ordered close to launch.

File fragment 01

Warning: Systems can fail. Red code engages if contact lost.

File fragment 14

Builder note: West beam microtears. Flag for repair.

Memo

Do not run full-scale test without oversight. - unsigned

Small interactive tools and buttons.

Secret buttons

Try clicking purple or hidden words, pressing numeric keys 1–7, or tapping the archive header five times.

Research notes

ARC received the lunar sample. A regional lab later received a piece for study.

Survivor list (partial)

Names scratched on metal. Few known. Many unknown.

Final log

We tried to record what we saw. Pieces remain for you to read.

Extra files
