Hey, it’s me again. If you remember from my last post, apparently my dad worked on a project called “Operation Sisyphus.” I don’t know much about it. He disappeared and left a coded message saying something about an “Ebony class event” and that “They had been too loud” or something along those lines.
I don’t know what all that means, which is why I am currently inside the Tartarus Industries building. I've come here to hopefully find out what happened. Since this whole thing started, the building has been abandoned, so I don’t have to worry about security. Also, schools are out so I don’t have to worry about that. And yes, where I am (Japan) society is still functioning.
I told my mom that I'm going to be working at the food bank, (which I will be doing after I find out what all this is about.) but first I need to find out what this “Operation Sisyphus” was about. There is one thing I have found out about. “Sisyphus” was a person in Greek mythology who was sent to Tartarus after working against the gods. I don’t know if that's symbolism for anything, but yeah.
Another thing, the JSDF (Japanese self defense forces, since Japan is not allowed to have a formal military after world war two) has already been mobilized, since Hokkaido was captured (The only region of Japan to have ever been captured yet, since we are an island nation) but i've been noticing more activity. Just today, i've had six fighter jets fly over my house, and already an entire convoy of tanks drove past our neighborhood.
Anyways, it took me around 30 minutes to bike here since our only car disappeared with my dad, since he probably took it to god knows where. I went through a boarded window. There wasn't much in the room where I came in. I think it was just an office.
I looked to see if there was any stuff related to project Sisyphus. There was nothing in that room so I continued. There were a few hallways, so I decided to check each room out. Plus, I had plenty of time. There was a big ass power room which I guess supplied power to the rest of the building. Although, this was all turned off because the bulding had been abandoned, so everything was pitch black. Good thing I brought a flash light though. There were a few lights left on though.

I found another room which was to do with trying to create a viable nuclear fusion reactor. I don’t know if they succeeded in it but it looked impressive from what I saw. I did find one thing about operation Sisyphus in here, though. Apparently, they needed this thing to work to have operation Sisyphus to be able to work for a long duration of time, they had only gotten Operation Sisyphus to work for a short period of time. This room is called “Operation Hephaestus.” I next looked in another room which had the cafeteria in it. Nothing was in there.
There was another room, “Operation Apollo '', which was something to do with space exploration. There were a few experimental rockets but not much else. Also, it did mention in the files that this project was the cause of those big spacecraft that evacuated a ton of people a while ago. Nothing to do with Sisyphus there, though. A few other boring rooms, the only weird thing I found in them was one where I guess they were growing superfoods in a project that I think was made to hopefully solve world hunger. The weird thing was that it looked like a few bites had been taken out of the stuff that was growing in there. For example, there was a tomato the size of a pumpkin that was half gone. It was really weird.
(For some reason, this image came out really weirdly. I don't know why. Sorry about that.)
Then, I finally found it. The room for operation sisyphus. It was a room maybe the size of a school auditorium. (Keep in mind, the entire tartarus industries building was fucking massive)
In the center there was a massive circular console surrounding something that looked like something out of a sci-fi or anime or something. I don’t even know how to describe what it looks like. And no, I can't take a picture of it. There's something in this room that's blocking any pictures from being taken, whenever I try to, the camera glitches out. There’s also a bunch of tables with a ton of files and stuff. I’m taking as much as I can, but a lot of stuff in these files is redacted.
When I got to the back of the room I started smelling something awful and oh god, I wish I hadn't looked. There were a bunch of human corpses strewn about. All of these were either scientists or armed security. Some had riot shields and machine guns. All of them had massive claw marks running up and down their bodies. I found something even more worrying than this though in the very back of the room. A giant metal cage that was broken. Something had broken in, or broken out of this cage. I turned back to the weird sci-fi machine thing after almost puking.
I noticed some more stuff. A pile of ash on the floor. This pile of ash was surrounded by a ton of files. I think they were trying to get rid of evidence of what happened in that room by burning files? I’m not sure. There was also a paper shredder which had been used, plus claw marks on the walls. Something definitely broke out, I don’t know what it was though. Whatever it was, it was probably neutralized by police or JSDF forces, I don't know.
I’m trying to look through the few files that are still there, to see if there is anything.
