What is this level?

Level 593 takes the form of a massive power plant. While there are no entities, nuclear hazards and other environmental hazards are very common and are usually fatal or maim most who fall victim to them. From what little we've seen, the level is mostly comprised of pillars and pipes that likely contain energy. Once you enter this level you will also see a green light in the distance, what this means is unknown.

This level is speculated to be the source of all energy in the Backrooms since it's sheer size seems big enough to power most levels with electric things in them. It is also speculated that Level 2's pipes carry the energy from this level but it is unlikely due to how far away the two levels are.

There are no entities at all in this level. All who enter will likely die from the nuclear energy in the level. So, if you want to explore this level, a gas mask is essential. Without one you will likely die before any discoveries will be made.

Entities and hazards

Only one 'entity' is present in this level, and it isn't even a humanoid form, it is more so a plague / virus, much like the Hydrolitis Plague. The nuclear energy in this level seems to generate the virus found in this level, which we will call The 593 Virus.

The 593 Virus gas or particles cannot be seen or smelt. Much like carbon monoxide. Once one breathes in the 593 Virus, their lungs will start to rot, making breathing difficult. If one manages to survive the first consequence, the next symptoms will start to affect the infected:

Day 2

After Day 1 of being infected, the second symptom will begin. The victim will start to cough and splutter, which further spreads the 593 virus to those nearby. So, all wanderers who contract the 593 Virus are to be quarantined as per the orders of MEG higher ups.

Day 5

After the fifth day, if the infected managed to survive this long, mysterious green crystals start to appear and crack open the victim's skin. This, is obviously very painful to those suffering from the virus and as of now no way to get rid of the crystals have been discovered, so you're pretty much dead if you make it to day 5 symptoms. The material comprising these crystals seem to be astatine, an unexplainably rare Frontrooms element. However, since astatine has a short lifespan attempts at bringing chunks of it to the Frontrooms have all been unsuccessful.

Day 10

After the tenth day the victim will be completely engulfed in the crystals and shatter, killing them.

Logs

LOG 28 / 04 / 2022:
Anonymous MEG volunteer: Hmm, this level looks new. Potentially a new discovery?
MEG Level assessor: Describe the surroundings and we'll see if we've found any similar level.
Anonymous MEG volunteer: It looks like a power plant of sorts? There's a weird green light in the distance and it's so fricking hard to breathe in here!
MEG level assessor: Remain calm, you won't need to be here for a while. Once you leave you should be able to breathe easy again.
Anonymous MEG volunteer: If you insist... 
MEG level assessor: Have you seen any entities yet?
Anonymous MEG volunteer: Nope, not.. one. The level seems to be empty apart from some pillars, power containers and me obviously.
MEG level assessor: Alright, how did you get in?
Anonymous MEG assessor: I just put on a gas mask to venture into the level you wanted me to help research, but then, I ended up here instead!
MEG level assessor: That's odd. We're trying to get you out now.
Anonymous MEG volunteer: Thank god! I don't know how much longer I could breathe!
The MEG volunteer continued to show a lack of breath and eventually developed other symptoms of the Level 593 Virus and sadly died. The virus was spread to a few other MEG operatives who were also killed.


In order to reduce cases of the Level 593 Virus all exploration will be done with drones.

Entrances and Exits:

Entrances:

- Putting on a gas mask in any level may take you here. However, this is quite rare so you don't need to worry too much.

- Contracting the Hydrolitis Plague increases your chances of ending up here.

Exits:

- Noclipping before contracting the level 593 virus will send you to Level 0 or Level 626. It is not known why you get sent to Level 626 of all levels.

- Contracting the Level 593 Virus will send you to a random level.
