Search: (30) Anchorpoint Warehouse A
With the night sky overhead, you join the others with a dinner of pot pie freshly made from Benni’s oven and once finished, you head out into the night, deciding to investigate the first of the Anchorpoint Warehouses.

As you drift through the quiet, still air, you recall the rumors that were said about this place, and that you overheard Pokémon from Beachwood University may have snuck their way into this warehouse to perform a hazing ritual, but then weren’t seen again. When you arrive at the warehouse, part of you thinks maybe the rumor was just a tall tale, or maybe these were actually victims that were never seen again and ended up as many of the missing Pokémon reported to the police.

You decide to start by searching the exterior, taking note of the dark metallic building’s condition. While it seems to have been used for many years, it still stands firmly and doesn’t show any signs of serious damage besides a dent in the metal walling here and there. Meanwhile, you notice there aren’t any windows, and while this does protect the inside materials from theft and exposure to the light, you know it prevents scrutiny as well. Any number of nefarious actions could have been performed in here and no one would know about it.

You don’t find anything suspicious on the outside, so you decide to search the inside. The massive sliding doors end up being locked, but you find a way to enter through the roof, using your small nimble size to make your way into a ventilation duct and then into the main storage area itself. It’s dark and dirty, but your new natural glow makes it easy to make your way around without the use of a flashlight or other light source.

Almost immediately, you sense a Stalker’s presence here, and it has you on high alert. One of them must have found there way in here and you begin to think that maybe the rumor is true after all. Among the many wooden and cardboard crates and boxes in towering stacks and piles, you search for anything out of the ordinary that might show a sign of what happened here and what might have been left behind as evidence. You follow the dark sensation, and it leads you to a dark, seemingly forgotten corner of the warehouse. Thanks to the fact you glow and illuminate the area around you, it becomes easier to see what it is that was left behind here.

On the dark, concrete floor of the warehouse, you find multiple dark, twisted flesh and skin-colored pieces that bear the stench of the Demoni. From your experience, you sense this broken, once cube-shaped device bears Fallow’s presence. What it might be for, you’re not sure, but you decide to gather up the pieces and use a nearby black contractor bag to hold them all in.

[=Broken Vacant Apparatus Cube=] has been added to the Team Inventory.

You have a feeling this might be another broken key that Fallow must have used before destroying it and leaving it behind, thinking no one would attempt to put it back together. You feel it’s worth a shot to try, especially considering you might already have an idea of where it belongs. A few days ago, you recall that Scy had reported seeing a cube-shaped hole upon an altar in the Jade Acres Park. While you haven’t seen it yourself, something about the name “Altar of Vacancy” has you thinking it might be related to Fallow, but first, you decide to take the black contractor bag back to Benni’s farmstead to see if you or someone else in the group of Savants can maybe put this back together and undo what Fallow did here.

After gathering the last of the pieces, you do one last check around the warehouse, but you don’t find anything else that seems out of place. It seems uncertain if the rumor about the disappearance of the university students was really true or not, but given the fact there was a Stalker here at one point, you still have to assume the worst if they never really did come back. While you haven’t found any signs of bloodshed or incident of attack, you’re fully aware that not every Stalker kills their victims violently.

Once you’ve found your way back out of the warehouse through the roof again, you decide to head back to the farmstead and get some sleep tonight. Hopefully tomorrow will yield more answers…
