About This Scenario

How It Starts

“The humidity's already at 82% and climbing. Before I start any repairs, I need to know who had access to the control room in the last 48 hours. And why was the backup system disabled exactly 20 minutes before the main unit failed?”

This is how Marcus Chen, Senior Systems Engineer at ClimaTech Solutions's greeting will start.
