The silence beneath the ice was never empty.It was waiting.In the aftermath of Station Ophiuchus, the investigation descends deeper-into a place where containment has already failed and observation is no longer optional. What lies below is not a discovery, but a continuation. A system that responds. A presence that learns. And a truth that does not require belief to take hold.As reality begins to fracture, the team confronts an unsettling shift: the anomaly no longer hides in machines, signals, or distant structures. It embeds itself in memory, behavior, and identity. The line between witness and participant dissolves, and every attempt to impose order only accelerates the collapse.The Quiet Below is a relentless escalation of cosmic horror and psychological tension-where the greatest threat is not what emerges from the darkness, but what quietly adapts within it.The Ophiuchus Protocol continues.
