As written by columnist Riko Silmeera
"The facilities were and still are meant to house the construction of SAS,(Support and Aid Systems) which were mainly robotic maids and butlers. The media wrote in admiration to the successes of ICE (as well as Queen Shoshanna in creating a positive agency) in creating a means to make life easier. Their achievements drew in even more praise as the media continued to cover their stories.
Even as the stories drew more attention word of something darker began to form under the nose of ICE, as well as Queen Shoshanna. The stories began when the literary paper, dubbed "The Witness" began to suspect of ICE of dealing in plots that endangered civilian lives. At first the stories were dismissed as conspiracies, but as time passed evidence that pointed to ICE's true nature began to take hold in the minds of citizens.
On the outside, the facilities looked harmless. ICE and Queen Shoshanna both knew this and they played at their own game of innocence and made themselves to appear as victims to The Witness's accusations. Eventually, the people grew in favor of them and voted to dispose of The Witness and their accusatory publications. The building that printed The Witness' conspiracies was eventually burned down after which the ICE facilities resumed operations."

Present Day
The events that occurred four years ago are all but a whisper. ICE remained untouched and Queen Shoshanna continued to fund their operations. Employees that fled from The Witness' building were found and apprehended - what happened to them was obvious. The people went about their day leaving behind the ashes of The Witness, their stories permanently erased. It was almost as if nothing had happened
But something did happen...
Deep in the the facilities a dark story continues to be written. A story that was once on the brink of being told but was snuffed out by the powers that be. People are still being called to ICE who's loved ones are too frightened to raise questions. As history once proved, to go against the powers that be meant a fate so dark that it would alter life to the point of no return.
What occurs in the facilities is unspeakable. The ones imprisoned no longer feel human. Their minds are altered to the point that their loved ones are no longer recognizable.
Could they still be saved? Is their anyone left in this society that still believes in the truth? In this picture-perfect city they've covered their actions so that their secret never got out. So far, they've succeeded.
Until now...
