West Wing
The West Wing is a Commander-level restricted section within The Grand Archive, functioning as the primary laboratory for Project Amalgamation.
Description
Unlike the destroyed Central Hall, the West Wing is preserved in perfect stasis. It contains orderly rows of stone pedestals, each holding a specimen under a glass dome. The chamber is dominated by a stone desk covered in research notes and a full-sized reconstruction case.
Contents
The wing houses the complete vivisection record of Project Amalgamation. Key specimens include:
* A preserved brain labeled "Subject Alpha: Cognitive baseline pre-transmutation."
* A skeletal hand fused with stone labeled "Stage 3: Mineral integration."
* The pulsing geometric Core Prototype, labeled "Insufficient stability."
* A preserved body labeled "Subject Gamma: Successful stabilization. Consciousness integrated. Guardian protocol active."
Significance
The research within the West Wing revealed the true nature of The Amalgamation as a conscious, tortured subject rather than a constructed golem. It provided the knowledge and components necessary to complete the creature's transformation into Subject Gamma.
