  Summary

  [Video Log – FILE: KE-0001 | Initiated at 15:43 Local Time, Caligo]
  [Footage begins. A soft static whirring, faint mechanical clicks, and ambient room buzz.]
  [CAMERA ON.]
  Click.

  A faint mechanical whirr. A slight stutter of static. Then, the feed kicks in—blurry at first, then clearer. The frame jitters with movement.
  “Is it on?”
  Tap. Tap.
  “Did it work? Hello? Hellooo—oh! Oh, it’s working!”
  A young, excited voice, tinged with mechanical undertones: subtle clicks and low shutter-whirrs riding beneath every syllable. The view swings wildly before settling on a dim interior—homey, metal-paneled walls, a low-hanging vine of bioluminescent Protector Root glowing faintly in the corner.
  “Keph? Is everything alright?” his mother called from somewhere off-screen, her tone edged with worry—a sharp contrast to the sheer delight blooming in Keph’s chest.
  He could feel the new system stirring to life within him.

  Explore the whirring life of Caligo, the maze-like floors of Babel, noisy school halls, and unique holidays through the eyes of a young Shutterbug and his brand new IRIS system.
