In a world where the boundaries of reality were tested, the elusive [dasd409] had long been the subject of whispered rumors. It was said that those who possessed this ancient, forbidden knowledge could manipulate the fabric of existence itself.

Ernst Severer, a renowned scholar and detective, had always been skeptical of such tales. His notion of a higher truth lay within the realm of human experience – within the symmetries of physics and the abstract patterns of code that governed the digital world. However, following a cryptic clue left by his recently deceased mentor, Ernst began an investigation that would lead him down a rabbit hole of mystery and deception.

From the ruins of an abandoned, pre-cyberpunk Detroit to the neoteric communities of the younger generation that drifted through its cybernetically augmented landscape, Ernst traversed the city in pursuit of the fabled artifact known as [dasd409]. Amidst clandestine secret societies, industrial hackers, and powerful transgressional ethicists, the line between fact and fiction blurred.

And so, his quest became an ecstatic disintegration into fragmented perceptions and prophecies of paranoia. Was it merely the psychological product of a ‘tuning in’ to the oscillations in air currents between psychical harmonies?
