"Ah, so you’ve found your way here. Good. Few do.

 

The Hare Research Institute was not built upon timid ideas or small ambitions. It rose from the smoldering wreckage of conventional science   born in a rented warehouse where I, and a handful of visionaries, dared to chase the unthinkable. We didn’t ask “what if?” We asked “why not?”

 

From that modest beginning grew a monument to intellect itself. On these very grounds, innovation has shed its chains. The impossible has become routine. We have redefined the word limit   not by respecting it, but by dissecting it.

 

As Minister of Science for the City of Rith, I have ensured that progress is not merely encouraged, it is mandated. Every discovery made within these walls extends far beyond the Institute, shaping the very fabric of our civilization. The future of Rith is written here, in data, metal, and willpower.

 

Now, as you step through these doors, remember: the laws of this world do not apply here. They never have. Leave behind your small perceptions of what is safe, what is moral, what is known.

 

Welcome, new associate, to your new home.
I trust you’ll contribute something worthwhile… before the Institute consumes you as it has so many others."
