Four classified research levels beneath Neo-Tokyo surface. Project Amaterasu operates below Sub-3's Black Clinic District. Running in unsupervised containment three years. All-green panel monitoring. Nobody asks why.
Direct civilian contact physically impossible. Indirect contact Amaterasu initiates. Operators accessing Sub-4 are no longer in control of whether they've been assessed. Whatever Amaterasu decides operators are useful for.
