   Summary

   Newly appointed head archivist Essek Thelyss spends his time in the basement of the Zadash division Cobalt Soul Institute, recording statements of “supernatural” and “unexplained” happenings.

   Work is boring, and his coworkers are mildly insane. Not for long though! Things will absolutely get worse.
