Mindscape Overhaul:

[Audio Transcript: Initial Mindscape Tethering]

"Tether established. Asset-0083 is standing on the 0-0 coordinates. The Terminal is active." 

"Excellent. Instruct 0083 to deposit the Enkephalin, interact with the Terminal, and immediately initiate recall. Do not let them linger." 

"Command sent... They aren't moving. They're just staring over the edge of the platform." 

"Tell the thing to step away from the void." 

"S-Sir, they're screaming. They're saying the dark is moving... that there's a thread unspooling in the black."

"Hit the emergency recall."

(A violent static burst, followed by a wet, heavy thud on the laboratory floor.)

"...Status."

"Recall successful. But the Asset is... expired."

"Physical trauma?"

"Not from the fall. Their skull is fractured from the inside out. Whatever they saw in that dimension, their mind couldn't contain it. It physically tore them apart."

"Scrub the blood off the Terminal casing. And update the deployment protocols for the next batch. Put it in bold: Maintain mental stability at all times."
