This so-called "shelter" has performed cruel experiments upon its captives daily, the purpose of which has long been kept a secret... until a certain group discovered their intentions and rose up to fight back against them. Their name is QUILL, the Quorum for Unrestricted Information, Law, and Liberty. They are an armed resistance force and subdivision of a foreign human rights organization dedicated to protecting psychics.
