Introduction
| In this room, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, security personnel in the Security Department of the Hill Research Center in Cyprus observe their scientists through R.E.K.V.I.E.M., a mysterious electronic device whose existence was carefully guarded from the public. And so everything would remain secret, but now you will witness these facts ... |
Story
Investigating the disappearance of the administrator in a government research institution, Senator Orville is faced with universal paranoia, mystery and fear. He ultimately finds the reason for such sentiments: an unusual security device that is used to monitor office workers. Radio-Electronic Complex of External Individual Emergency Monitoring, abbreviated R.E.K.V.I.E.M. ( English OBIT ) is so widespread that no one can escape his annoying and all-seeing eye, anytime, anywhere. After the missing administrator is found alive and tells the senator about R.E.K.V.I.E.M., the ominous unearthly origin of the device and the purpose of its implementation become apparent.
Final phrase
| The agency of the Ministry of Justice is flooded with cars. But these machines, these inventions of another planet, were cleverly conceived to ruthlessly hunt our human weaknesses. Ultimately, dear friends, does R.E.K.V.I.E.M. your name or not will depend only on you. |
