Description
Level 79 appears to consist of an infinite amount of apartment elevator lobbies.The elevator lobbies in the level commonly have the same appearance, consisting of 3 standard Mitsubishi brand elevators, light grey tiled floors, white tiled walls with a metal plate with the floor number written on it. Survivors usually arrive on floor 0 of Level 79.
Although the fluorescent lights in the level are functioning at full capacity, usually outputting a standard of 350 to 500 lumens of light per square meter, the brightness seems to diminish drastically by distance. Light levels measurements taken a few centimeters from the fluorescent lights mesure at about 450 lumens per square meter, but measurements taken barely 1 meter away from the fluorescent lights have already dropped to 50 lumen per square meter. The environment of Level 79 seems to absorb light, rather than letting light pass through normally. This creates an effect of a dark room. Flashlights introduced into the level also have the same effect, where the light produced by the flashlight is absorbed by the environment.
The interior of the elevators in Level 79 are standard except one thing, while normal elevators have buttons corresponding to the floors of a building, Level 79’s elevators appear to have replaced them with a number keypad and small display. The keypad has the numbers 0 to 9 and an “enter”, “cancel”, “decimal point” and “minus” button on it. Once a person enters a number onto the keypad and presses enter, the elevator will take them to the floor they chose. Due to this, Level 79 is believed to be functionally infinite, as it can go to any floor number that consists of a real number (Including decimal and negative numbers).
Time while in one of Level 79’s elevators or when calling an elevator seems to be disproportionate. Long distances can commonly be traveled almost in an instance. One survivor has reported that they have once traveled from the 11th floor to the 15084th floor in under 5 seconds, with no acceleration in the speed of the elevator. The waiting time when one calls an elevator in Level 79 is even more unstable. Survivors have reported that elevators can arrive in a fraction of a second, or may take as long as 11 years to arrive, though this is very rare.
It is also noteworthy to mention that if a person goes to a higher floor number, the light absorbing effect of Level 79 becomes less significant with each floor ascended, meaning it gets brighter and brighter further up. Inversely, if a person goes to a floor below 0, the light absorbing effect of the level intensifies with each floor descended. Other than that, It is also believed that the temperature will increase or decrease depending on whether a person ascends or descends past floor 0. The scope of this effect is unclear as there are reports of people traversing and surviving well past the 6000th floor of the level. There are also documented cases of people surviving in floors well past the -270th floor.
It is theorised that floors higher than 3600090504000 will become so hot that the temperature will exceed that of a white dwarf star, around 139144.261 degrees kelvin(138871.111 degrees celsius), it is also theorised that floors that are lower than -40727102940 will be so cold that the temperature will reach absolute zero, exactly 0 degrees kelvin( -273.15 degrees celsius). For context, absolute zero is the lowest possible temperature any substance can get in a thermodynamic scale. It is unknown why the extreme temperatures have not yet destroyed, or at least made Level 79 uninhabitable in the first place.
Doors are also said to appear within the elevator lobbies of Level 79, if a person enters one, they may lead random apartment units. Inside most of the apartment units, normal everyday essentials like food and water can be found. Rarely, weapon stashes may also be found. Numbered doors are also reported to appear occasionally and are the primary way of exiting Level 79.
Other than the temperature and spatial anomalies of Level 79, random anomalous events also take place. They can vary from harmless events, to events that seriously endanger human life. Several anomalous events have been documented in the log below. (To be added shortly!)
Entities
Entities may reside in multiple floors of Level 79. Documented Entities within Level 79 include: Facelings, Hounds, Smilers, Skin-Stealers, Death Moths and Lighers. Level 79 is also home to entities called Morphers. Another thing to note is that, low floor numbers seem to have more entities within them, so it is advised that unprepared explorers do not go to the lower floors of Level 79.
Colonies and Outposts
Most of the groups in Level 79 are small groups of survivors or wanderers. There are, however, several notable groups in the level.
