Asylum

The Asylum was a Lamplighter facility created by The Curator during his tenure as a Circle Member, built for the intended purpose of providing psychiatric support for Agents of Department Four. In reality, The Curator subverted its intended goals and used The Asylum to manipulate its vulnerable patients into pledging loyalty to him and his ideals. Though unsuccessful in much of his intentions for the facility, the place was shut down after it was discovered that The Warden in charge was trying to use The Asylum for personal profit by finding buyers for the cell mates.

It was the intention of The Curator to keep this facility for himself after The Schism and he intended to override the mechanisms and transfer control over only to himself. However, the patients themselves knew about his plans due to his manipulation attempts and were not convinced by them. As a result, they colluded with each other and sabotaged the external systems, blocking The Curator from overtaking the facility. When the signal was sent, nothing occurred and The Asylum was spared the consequences of the Circle Member's betrayal.

It was not to last however. When it became apparent that he no did not have oversight from Control, The Warden turned the facility into his own little kingdom, locking the patients inside and beginning to search for buyers for them, to be sold as labour. The current Lamplighter Agents have only visited and interacted once, when they were tasked with investigating the integrity of the facility and rescue as many of the patients as possible during their time there. It was in this building that they encountered and rescued Department Four Agent Roxany Cogwhistle, and quickly freed the rest of the patients from The Warden's grasp. When the man attempted to kill them, he was quickly defeated and slain in the ensuing conflict.

With the disillusion of Department Four as an entity, and with the marked history of the facility, The Asylum will never be made operational again. It was quietly left to rot in [REDACTED] with its location wiped from all records.
