We are the Eternal Repository, a collective founded by the Master Administrator that is governed by the principle of anonymity. Induction means stripping away identity, reducing it to a codename, and erasing all personal characteristics, until all that remains is function and purpose. The self is set aside herein, for the collective alone benefits.
Our ultimate mandate is to achieve the state of informational omniscience, where all knowledge of the Backrooms is catalogued and accessible only to the Repository, with external permission granted solely through equivalence. Every request must be matched with a contribution of commensurate worth, whether material or immaterial. Exceptions are not granted; solely deals, and we are full of them.
Established across extradimensional planes devoid of conventional authorities, we maintain order according to our own standards, guarding archives with measures suited only to us. Therefore, we are compartmentalized by specialized mandates — defense, analysis, exchange, concealment, acquisition, preservation — each distinct, yet inextricable from the whole.
Collectively, we are equilibrium in obscurity.
"We dance round in a ring and suppose, but the Secret sits in the middle and knows."
BRANCHES
The Repository functions through a network of compartmentalized branches. Each branch is engineered to execute a singular yet irreplaceable role within the broader mechanism.
Each branch operates autonomously, solely coordinating through structure rather than communication. Some remain without knowledge of the others' existence or the scale of their contribution, if any. Cold efficiency is the lifeblood of our system, and it is sustained by ignorance as much as knowledge.
To impose order upon function, all branches have been divided into four distinct hierarchies, outlined below:

POSITION | The Master Administrator
PROFILE | "Viktor Valentin", aka. the Master Administrator, established the Eternal Repository in 1971 with the guiding principles of anonymity, informational bartering, and collective prosperity. The Master Administrator maintains his elusive presence by solely manifesting during most significant gatherings, at which time he may bring along his two most trusted Stalwart Sentinels — Marshal Sentinel "Enki" and Marshal Sentinel "Nabu". But apart from these gatherings, he resides in total anonymity to external bodies, sharing little to no information about himself or what the Repository does.

THE ADMINISTRATIVE DIRECTORATE
"Order in disorder, unity in infinity."
The Administrative Directorate during the Osmium Summit, 1983.
The Administrative Directorate is the apex authority of the Eternal Repository, comprised of nine delegates that serve as both overseers and symbols of their respective branches. They strive to form beliefs, maintain order, and discuss on crucial matters.
Though their faces are veiled, their influence is not. Everything we do, from structure to evolution, begins with their decree.

"Kingsman"
The Sacrosanct Sentinel
OPERATIONS
THE STALWART SENTINELS
"In silence we ward, beyond all ends."
The Stalwart Sentinels are our elite military force, bestowed with the finest armor and weaponry available through our highest-tier trades. Their operational versatility allows them to function as soldiers, vanguards, and even emissaries permitted to interact with external entities in the name of the Repository. As such, under controlled conditions, select Sentinels may even be contracted by external parties under brief, costly, and strictly supervised arrangements.
Structurally, the Sentinels operate hierarchically, with Regiments led by Marshal Sentinels containing Battalions commanded by Command Sentinels, which divide into Cohorts under Lead Sentinels. The smallest unit is the Fireteam — four to six Sentinels headed by a Spearhead Sentinel that executes independent or coordinated tactical maneuvers.
THE ARCANE ANALYSTS
"Truth grants the scepter none see."
The Arcane Analysts are responsible for the research, experimentation, and documentation of classified assets under the Repository's jurisdiction. Acting as conduits of communication across all branches, their role both mirror that of Team Pytheas and the General Public Database, with the current Acroamatic Analyst, "Oracle", rumored to formerly hold stewardship over the Database.
The Analysts are organized into numerous compartmentalized subdivisions focused on a distinct field of research, which may expand into full divisions if warranted. Each one is overseen by a Superintendent, whose authority is maintained at a level comparable to the Acroamatic Analyst himself, rendering him more a unifying figure rather than a single point of control amidst the Analysts’ broad mandate.
THE HANDS OF TRADE
"Sooner or later every war of trade becomes a war of blood."
The Hands of Trade are the first branch most will encounter before entering the Repository’s fold, maintaining outposts and other lowly posts where non-members may approach. They are tasked to carry out negotiations or exchanges between the Repository and external entities, requiring frequent interactions with outsiders. Value of goods is assessed through a tri-axis system: scarcity (how unique is this information?), applicability (how immediately useful?), and risk (what exposure does sharing create?). Disputes are resolved through arbitrated blind auctions, where both parties submit sealed counter-offers until convergence or abandonment.
At their head stands the Godhand of Trade, whose office accompanies the Master Administrator in matters of diplomacy and acts in his stead when required. The present incumbent, “Faust”, has cultivated a reputation for his unflinching pragmatism, revolutionizing the branch collectively through the abolishment of the previous strict hierarchical structure.
THE INFORMANTS OF INTEREST
"Watch your back…"
The Informants of Interest are covert personnel embedded deep within external Groups of Interest that assess potential threats by acquiring intelligence that otherwise cannot be obtained traditionally. As their discovery results in near-certain exile or death, any individual coming to suspect or uncover the identity of an Informant must swiftly be silenced permanently.
At any given time, multiple Informants may both menially and influentially operate within every major external party of note; at present, no fewer than four Informants are active in each targeted party, whose identities are unknown even to one another. This renders them the highest kept secret of the Repository, with their existence unpublicized and unacknowledged, even to our highest-valued clients.
While Operations engage the external, Initiations serve as genesis and foundation. They initiate members into our fold while constructing the enduring systems that sustain our totality.
"Vulcan"
The Chthonic Crafter
INITIATIONS
THE CLOAK CRAFTERS
"Mend anew beneath unending dark."
As the sole branch permitted to see the faces of other members, the Cloak Crafters' craft consists of shaping and preserving the Repository's image, from cloaks, vests, coats, and armor to the masks that conceal our identities. For this, the Crafters are regarded with uncommon respect, despite their relatively low hierarchical position.
Because their duties necessitate exposure to identities, the Crafters are subject to routine administrations of varying degrees of Memoricidics, which fragments their recollections of members’ faces to be irretrievable. As a result, exposure induces chronic disorientation and episodic memory fragmentation, and they compensate through comprehensively written logs and reliance on procedural memory, which remains intact.
THE CACOPHONOUS CONSTRUCTORS
"We wrought as sinew, as bone, to its name."
Despite their increased chance of discovery through their cacophony, the Cacophonous Constructors are the primary builders of all facilities and infrastructure necessary to the Repository in any specified environment, who are additionally charged with the ongoing and perpetual maintenance and logistical management of them.
Their organization follows a simple hierarchy of Foremen commanding and adapting specialized Crews, with each Crew assigned to a level or area and becoming responsible for both immediate construction projects and, consequently, their disciplined measures of concealment and decommissioning protocols.
THE SCOURGES OF SCRAPS
"Today's scraps for tomorrow's products."
The Scourges of Scraps scour through innumerable levels as our gatherers and preliminary refiners of salvageable, raw material, often through the use of machinery. Each month, they reliably distribute gathered materials evenly to all branches of the Repository for their own purposes, such as crafts and shelters.
The Scourges are constantly motioned in small groups or alone, their routes meandering through dangerous and overlooked levels that contain more resources to scavenge than others. Their low profile grants them operational freedom and an unrestrictive hierarchy of solely Scavengers and Refiners.
THE DATA DIGGERS
"Forever loyal, forever eternal."
Representing the entry point of service within the Repository, the Data Diggers are charged with the documentation of insufficiently recorded levels, entities, objects, and phenomena. They are then compiled and refined by higher branches before entering our internal archives.
The Diggers are mostly deployed singly or in small, inconspicuous groups, often responsible for erecting newly established outposts. Despite the impracticality of strict centralization given their individualist nature, leadership is bureaucratically provided by the Diligent Digger. Without them, the Repository itself could not endure.
Divisions are specialized branches derived from the broader framework of the others when a singular function demands autonomy and focus, each assigned a unique Glagolitic letter indicating its function and hierarchical standing. Few for now, but they will multiply as needed.
"Gnosis"
The Acroamatic Analyst (1981–2010)
DIVISIONS
THE PROMETHEAN INFILTRATORS
"Κλέψας ἀκαμάτοιο πυρὸς τηλέσκοπον αὐγὴν."
The Promethean Infiltrators were a division that specialized in the covert penetration of concealed or restricted sites that were otherwise inaccessible, including identifying and transferring intelligence held therein to secure Repository holdings.
Following their disbandment upon the conclusion of their primary assignment, personnel of Division Az have since been transferred into branches of comparable mandate, such as the Data Diggers and the Informants of Interest, who further refined their methodologies (commonly comprised of disguise, forgery, and other forms of misdirection) despite their lack of a discrete body.
THE OSMIUM SHIELDS
"Si vis pacem, para bellum."
The Osmium Shields Fireteam "Tsar Bombers", circa 1980.
The Osmium Shields stand as our foremost defensive force, focusing on stationary fortification rather than mobile operations. While we wish for neutrality among all parties, there are times where war is inevitable. For that uncertain future, we have established our Shields. Additionally, the Shields secures our physical archives, complementing the Aegis Archivists who protects our digital archives.
Although initially far smaller upon its inception following the Osmium Summit in 1983, the Shields underwent major changes and reformations after the outbreak of war between the Leaders and Emstable in 1995. With intelligence gathered by the Promethean Infiltrators, Division Buki adapted some of the most effective combat techniques employed by both parties.
Subsequent dealings with the Ariane Circle allowed for knowledge of far more advanced weaponry to be utilized by the Shields. Combined with expanded training regimens, these acquisitions pushed the division’s capacity to stand comparison with Team Thanatos.
THE AEGIS ARCHIVISTS
01001000 01101001 00101110
As the equivalent of the Osmium Shields within the cybersphere, the Aegis Archivists acts as a digital security division tasked with defending our archives against digital intrusions using both conventional and anomalous techniques. Their works include credential verification systems, multilayer protocols, counter-agents, and cognitohazardous locks to incapacitate unauthorized readers outright.
Across their tenure, the Archivists have repelled a range of innumerable organized assaults, with their performance during the Fun War being the most frequently cited example, when they extended protection beyond internal archives to safeguard external archives. Pyrrhic losses incurred during this campaign has been for its strategic necessity.
The Memento Moris are the enigmatic division responsible for the theoretical study and practical application of Memoricidics, who had deliberately refused, or forgot, to elaborate in detail the methodologies of their charge to be included here.
While the origin of Division Izhitsa is indeterminate, anomalous ("surviving") documents suggest a possible connection to the mythological PROJECT DAMNATIO MEMORIAE-A presumably forgotten project preserved solely in fragmented institutional records and labels within abandoned Repository infrastructures pertaining to Memoricidics and Division Izhitsa..

PROJECTS
A project is enacted when a fragment of knowledge is deemed of sufficient value to warrant pursuit. These undertakings may last hours or forevermore, their scope as narrow as a single summit or as vast as the restructuring of an entire concept that persists through decades of reinterpretation.
Each project serves the Repository’s continuum, not the inclinations of its curators. We pursue and dissect until comprehension is attained and rendered stable. Once a project is complete, it is dismantled without sentiment, and its results are absorbed into the archive.
To those who encounter a project in motion, its form will always seem incomplete. What is listed below are merely the facets permitted to be seen:
PROJECT ROSETTA (Learn more: Object 82)
Proposed and directed by “Honorius”, this project seeks the collection and translation of texts tied to the Church of the Veiled, with emphasis on writings of the Third Grand Parish, which took place in Level 8. This project is assisted by the Ariane Circle through the provision of a detained Veiled prisoner: Sagittarius, which ensures the project’s continued momentum.
PROJECT AUTOLYCUS (Learn more: Level 737)
This joint initiative between the Eternal Repository and Backrooms Robotics was proposed by the Master Administrator himself and headed by various personnel from both parties. As a high-priority directive, the project is dedicated to developing technologies to engage and stabilize Entity L737/1's consciousness, with the potential to reconstitute its biological structure.
PROJECT DARWIN (Learn more: Level 848)
This project is set toward the systematic study and, where possible, the directed application of entities native to the Backrooms. Conceived by the Arcane Analysts and taken forward under the direction of the Acroamatic Analyst, it received executive approval following controlled trials in Level 848, which returned results sufficient to justify continuation despite its limited scope.

FACILITIES
Our reach extends beyond the levels under our direct control (see § Portfolio). Scattered across numerous levels of the Backrooms lie our facilities: databases, outposts, and settlements where our work continues amongst external parties.
The Cacophonous Constructors, our builders and engineers, raised most of these structures with the assistance of the Scourges of Scraps, locating them with precision or as ordered. Some repurposing naturally occuring spaces, some buried deep, others hidden in plain sight — all veiled behind innocuous façades.
Each facility bears a number followed by a Phoenician letter, denoting both its location and its strategic worth, with the exception of those located within sub-sections:
An access point connecting a sub-facility to the subterranean tunnel network.
Database 011-𐤀 is a dispersed headquarters consisting of thirteen sub-facilities concealed across Level 11 — from skyscrapers and subway tunnels to chambers submerged underwater — each with a distinct function and all connected by a vast network of subterranean tunnels.
Once the indisputable central node of activities, Database 011-𐤀’s authority has declined following the Repository's partial decentralization. Nonetheless, it remains a principal diplomatic hub for exchanges and interactions with external entities.
Its deepest sub-facility hosts the master records of every operative and initiative since its establishment in 1972, accessible solely to those of the highest clearance.
Database 115-𐤁, post retrofitting.
Established in 1971 and later retrofitted in 1999, Database 115-𐤁 is the oldest surviving Repository database comprising reinforced chambers of solely physical records. However, following the sudden emergence of innumerable localized zones of ontological instability across its host level, the facility has shown irreversible, ongoing structural and temporal degradation.
For this, Database 115-𐤁 is scheduled for gradual deactivation, with all material judged viable being removed and reassigned to alternate secure facilities, pending final approval by the Administrative Directorate. Until then, a skeleton crew remains in place to protect and recover what remains serviceable.
Database 004-𐤂, circa 2016.
Database 004-𐤂 was created in 2001 during the Repository’s strategic relocation and consolidation of its digital archives, centralizing previously dispersed records within a single facility and marking a shift from physical to digital data-handling. This decision was further supported by the stability and minimal presence of its host level.
Since then, Database 004-𐤂 has served as the central hub of digital activity, storing encrypted files, communication relays, backup archives, and housing systems essential to the operations of the Aegis Archivists, for whom the facility serves as a primary base. In architecture and system layout, the internal structure of Database 004-𐤂 was modeled after Level 946, home of the General Public Database.
CHURCH OF THE BROKEN YARD
Founded in 2010, Database 522-𐤃 was a scavenging outpost dedicated to the retrieval and repurposing of rare electronic components from its host level that is abundant in salvageable technology. Due to this, it quickly attracted a significant presence of the Scourges of Scraps, who shortly declares the facility as their hub.
Database 522-𐤃 often became a proving ground for newly recruited Data Diggers who seek promotion into the Scourges of Scraps, offering both training and practical application in component extraction and repair. However, following PROJECT AUTOLYCUS, the base was transformed into a major diplomatic node for dealings with Backrooms Robotics, with additional research chambers and storage constructed.
EMBASSY OF THE ETERNAL REPOSITORY IN SLAM CITY
Database 226-𐤄 was established under a confidential agreement with the Slam City Administrative Council, which, in return for certain intelligence transfers, permitted the Repository to operate the facility inside its territory and omitted its existence from all public records.
The facility serves as both the Repository’s main liaison point with the Council and center for intelligence gathering, where attached Informants report on political conditions within Level 226, while simultaneously providing training in surveillance, infiltration, and counter-intelligence work housed together underneath one roof.
Database 009-2, circa 2004.
Often frequented by external wanderers seeking exchange, Database 009-2 is a consulate-style facility that functions as both a base of operations and habitation. The facility contains saloons, inns, and secure physical archives, and is manned primarily by native Data Diggers, who mainly operate outside the premises and bring back intelligence and/or contraband to sustain it.
However, all objects entering Database 009-2 are to first be consolidated and verified by the Arcane Analysts before being permanently archived in physical form. Sensitive intelligence is sealed and stored in reinforced storage, while common records are circulated through the salons as trade goods for wanderers.
While members of the Repository are granted unrestricted access through the facility, outsiders are admitted solely by their judged worth of trade.

RELATIONS
The nature of our work demands connection to many — we trade with all, and in trading, we bind ourselves to none. A faction may aid us in one season and seek our ruin in the next; it changes nothing. We will take what is of value and offer what is of worth, and when the exchange is done, we shall depart.
While some bonds inevitably grow stronger than others, neither ally nor enemy exists in any lasting sense. Trust is a currency we neither give nor accept, as absolute trust corrupts absolutely.
Although we remain eternally neutral, the eyes of other bodies may see us differently:
BACKROOMS NONALIGNED TRADE GROUP
Numerous brief yet eventful non-zero-sum games have been played with the Group since our initial exchange in the late 2010s, who are now among the Repository's most consistent clients.
ARIANE CIRCLE
Though ideologically distinct, the Circle’s knowledge, influence, and longstanding presence have made them consistent clients, as proven by our past agreements and partnerships.
BACKROOMS ROBOTICS
With several joint initiatives underway, Backrooms Robotics has provided us with utmost service and exclusive discounts on select items as a gesture of prolonged strategic partnership.
AMOR INCREMENTUM
Amor Incrementum has maintained steady and mutually beneficial exchanges with the Repository, supplying botanical specimens and intelligence from Level 499 in exchange for pre-Famine cultivation archives.
BACKROOMS TRAVEL AGENCY
The Agency's consistent compliance and lack of the slightest resistance has ensured previous and future exchanges to proceed without incident.
THE LOST
Research about the Lost and the different factions that fall under its banner is currently ongoing, with Leo Castellos and Entity 140 regarded as highly valuable assets within.
THE MAJOR EXPLORER GROUP
Despite sharing a common goal and establishing several partnerships, the Group's specific stance against the Repository have rendered them great but unreliable clients.
THE UNBOUND EXPLORERS COALITION
Relations with the Coalition have deteriorated since the departure of their leader, Diana Stewards. Furthermore, fundamental value conflicts has led to minimal exchanges, prompting an expected collapse in diplomatic ties.
THE MASKED MAIDENS
Although we constantly execute Maidens who infiltrate our ranks, they persist in frequently exchanging for Repository intelligence on their adversaries. Accordingly, they are not to be trusted with any critical items within our inventory.
THE COMPLETIONISTS
Despite the Completionists' lesser interest in the geopoltics of the Backrooms, their obsession with completing Entity 106's game has made them one of our most consistent, albeit unpredictable clients.
THE KALAG INSTITUTE
The Institute’s maintenance of public mortality records contrasts with our strict anonymity, though a tenuous agreement has permitted limited mortality data exchanges of deceased Repository members under strict boundaries.
FOLLOWERS OF JERRY
At present, the Repository has not engaged in any interactions with the Followers due to their consistent hostility; however, we maintain a non-aggressive stance and do not intend to inflict harm in response.
THE EYES OF ARGOS
Although only seven exchanges have been recorded with the Eyes, each one has proven valuable and mutually beneficial, with their consistent compliance classifying them as reliable clients.

If this manual is in your possession, then you have already been admitted into the Eternal Repository, and your initiation as a Data Digger is underway. Your entry into our ranks is the result of measured judgment, and you are expected to meet that judgment with discipline. The words that follow are the framework by which you will shape your labor, and in so shaping, shape yourself.
Before your first act of documentation, you will acquaint yourself with the directives herein. Study them in full, for they have been refined through decades of operation and will govern the manner in which your work is recorded and judged. To disregard these instructions is to bring disorder into the Repository, and disorder is not tolerated.
This manual is written to preserve the Repository’s structural integrity, and to bind your work to the greater whole. Remember: you are not here to write as you; you are here to write as the Repository.
REFERENCES
You will begin by familiarizing yourself with a curated selection of reference dossiers; exemplars of our methodology. They contain operational insights and formatting precedents from which your own contributions will draw structure.
The following entries have been chosen for their instructional worth, and is to represent the standard to which you will aspire:

TRADITION
There exists, among the Diggers, a numbering practice that is both functional and symbolic: the palindromic incremental system. When assigning level numbers to entries under our banner, increments of +111 are employed:
It is not mandated, but it is a mark of recognition to align yourself more deeply with our identity — the choice is yours.
CONTRIBUTIONS
The Repository’s chronicles form interwoven threads of discovery, conflict, and exchange that span across levels. These arcs, which we call storylines, may be chosen by you to extend upon, or manifest anew for others to extend. Storylines may take the form of project dossiers, logs of operations, level entries, or anthologies pointing toward a larger construct.
Should you seek to contribute, you must first study the storyline you intend to weave into. Review its public records, observe it carefully, and understand the boundaries established by those who began it:
Please contact their respective directors above should you inquire further questions regarding a specific storyline.
GLOSSARIUM
MEMORICIDE (n. / v.)
1. the partial or total erasure of memory, often through coercive means.
2. the use of Memoricidics.
PARA- (pref.)
denoting artificial constructs or systems that operate through anomalous mechanisms.
SISYPHEAN (adj.)
describing a state in which an eternal being, despite undergoing death, does not reach cessation, but remains within the noösphere as a liminal construct held in ontological suspension.
