Story:

In the early 1980s, an adventurous group of explorers discovered a vast and complex cave system in the Andes mountains, surpassing any previously known in the region—and possibly the world. The Peruvian government dispatched a team to map the cave, but many did not return, and those who did were deemed mentally unstable. Their preliminary reports mentioned a strange, possibly organic substance found in the cave’s depths, exhibiting bizarre properties that affected light and gravity.

Intrigued, the Peruvian government negotiated a joint venture with the U.S. government amid strained Cold War relations. The U.S. would fund Vanguardias S.A., a Peruvian research company, to investigate, research, and obtain samples of this mysterious substance. In return, the U.S. would receive full access to the research data and rights to develop any applications.

The initial mission was set for one month, considering it took four days to reach the substance and nearly twice as long to return. However, six weeks have passed with no contact from the team. Fearing the worst, both governments contracted an expert spelunker to uncover the truth, retrieve any research data, and initiate rescue efforts for any unlikely survivors.
