The Research Camp
A cluster of weathered tents pitched on rocky ground near the lake, filled with specimen containers, DNA analysis equipment, and walls covered in maps tracking victim origins across centuries. Generator hum provides the only warmth against mountain cold.
Roopkund Lake
A glacial lake at 16,470 feet surrounded by snow-covered peaks and barren rock, where hundreds of skeletal remains lie scattered along the shore and beneath crystalline ice. The thin air carries an eerie silence broken only by wind howling through the valley.
