The Dust Listener

Description

In the Underground Depositories, you are a Dust Listener: you press your ear to the artifacts from the world above to capture their sound memories. But a recurring scratching disturbs your listening, and it seems to come from an object that is listening to you as well.

Introduction

You descend the spiral staircase of Sector 7, your storm lantern barely illuminating the rammed earth walls. The air is heavy with dust and silence, but you know that every object, every box, every trinket holds a unique sound. You sit down at your station, headphones on, and dive into the day's catalog. Yet for weeks, a soft, steady scratching has been creeping in between the memories. You've noted its origin: a forgotten locket buried under tons of uncatalogued items. Tonight, you will truly listen to it.
