This is for @social_distance_pika 's dystopian writing competition: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1054050470 PLOT: Essentially, a company was founded that experiments with quantum energy. Fierro (one of the engineers) discovered a problem in their experiment and told them not to perform it as it was too dangerous. He described a possibility of the outage but the founders didn't listen. When the blackout happened, the company realized that Fierro was right about the problem and began to try to find him to amend the experiment. Fierro and Ace (one of the board members) escaped from the company with Fierro's work and are keeping it from the company. The main character runs into Ace and Fierro after being found within the "boundaries" of the factory. The research that is mentioned holds a formula and information that could allow the company to influence past events. Eventually, the main character will obtain Fierro's (and possibly Ace's) trust and though there may still be some secrets, form a partnership of sorts to protect the research while surviving amid the Blackout. [SPOILERS] In the end, the company will end up obtaining the research to go back to the time of the accident and, by tampering with time, realize that it was they who ultimately were the cause of their loved ones' deaths (it will be a larger reveal than this dw :D) Thumbnail from Google
