The Mysterious Wall

The story unfolds during the Soviet period, with state-backed scientific expeditions and military oversight. A remote field project is followed by a Moscow press conference where findings are presented to the public. The setting emphasizes control, secrecy, and the race to understand a phenomenon that could redefine humanity's place in the cosmos.

Set in a remote taiga region, a research outpost sits beneath a dome-like Wall. The Wall periodically materializes and vanishes, infusing the station with an eerie, charged atmosphere. Scientists monitor equipment and run experiments while debating whether they are dealing with an intelligent envoy or a natural phenomenon.

👽 Alien Contact

The Wall is treated as an envoy from another civilization, provoking debates about intent and origin. The scientists propose that the Wall is intelligent, while others fear drawing attention or provoking a dangerous reaction. They attempt to communicate by transmitting images and messages, testing the Wall's responses. Lena's mirage-guided clue hints at a possible direct contact, but the moment is halted as the Wall closes.

🧪 Scientific Inquiry

Lomov's team uses borrowed locator gear to study the Wall's effects, documenting irregularities and failures under pressure. The hallucinations of past lives complicate data interpretation, forcing a reexamination of what constitutes evidence. The crew debates whether the Wall is a natural anomaly, a deliberate probe by Martians, or something else entirely. The narrative follows the iterative process of hypothesis, testing, and revision under extreme circumstances.

🌀 Perception vs Reality

The Wall's visions blur the line between memory and objective reality, forcing characters to question what is real. Group dynamics unfold as fear, curiosity, and loyalty shape their interpretations. Lena's discovery suggests a path to contact, yet the Wall remains elusive. The ending leaves the truth open, underscoring how perception can become a tool as dangerous as any technology.
