🏭 When Silva Industries acquired the VMD Corporation, a company that specialized in interstellar mining, they did not try to hide it. When VMD uncovered the incredibly rare and powerful Artifact X, they didn’t hide that either. They were even open about the catastrophic malfunction of the R.V. Vulcan, even if they denied Artifact X’s role. But Silva Industries is a company that’s never open about anything. Why change that strategy? The answer to that lies deep within the VMD Lab, and Silva Industries will do everything it can to keep the truth buried.

🤫👤 Kya was a geologist employed by VMD. It was her first job and she was immeasurably proud to be working for a leading company in the field. When Silva Industries acquired VMD, its open and honest work culture changed. Kya was forced to sign reams of non-disclosure agreements. Her entire family was interrogated. She was even forcibly evicted from her apartment and told to report to a new ship docked outside of Mars for a top secret assignment. At first it was standard drilling and surveying. That was until she uncovered Artifact X.

🥸  Artifact X was heralded as a breakthrough in clean energy. Its detractors described it as a cursed material that should be left alone. But most would agree on its uniqueness. With the world’s attention captured, Rosa knew she had an opportunity - offer up a little, while taking the lot. As Rosa hosted press conferences from the Artifact X Arena about this new wonder material, the VMD Lab’s crew carried out its mission to cover up the truth - there wasn’t just one Artifact, there were many. And Rosa wanted them all hidden away safely on her private moon.

😶‍🌫️ It was only after watching the news, that Kya realized her role in this plan. Those involved in the mission warned her to stay quiet. But she couldn’t. Knowing the risks, Kya wrote confessional notes and hid them around the VMD Lab. Only then did she approach the media, ready to be the whistleblower. But she never appeared for her interview. The Lab was gutted and refurbished, and any trace of Kya was scrubbed from VMD’s ledgers. Unless one of her notes slipped through, no-one will know the truth, and Kya will be another skeleton buried in Rosa’s closet
