As every Monday, the sand filter had its moods. Some sand, some strange things - sometimes a screw, sometimes a fragment of an old tie (Frank claims his). But on this day there was something different: a small metal disc. Smooth on one side, on the other - an engraved pattern resembling the logo of the treatment plant... only a little more ancient.

The cat immediately snorted and moved back three meters. Hallmark: **don't touch, but of course I touched**.

🔓 All doors stood open

At first I treated it as a curiosity. But when I dropped a token into the coffee machine - it not only dispensed coffee, but also four bars - and 80s music started playing.

Then the door to the laboratory. Locked for a week - opened with no problem. The health and safety cabinet? It cycled. The technical door to the reactor? Secure, but... click. Even the guest toilet unlocked with such a hiss as if the token owned it.

🗃️ The manager and his secret

At the end of the day, I entered the control room. The cat was looking at me from the cabinet, clearly upset. I looked at the manager's locker - the armored one, locked with a key, card and code. I slid the token over the lock ... and click. Inside: a map of the sewage treatment plant from 1983, spare keys for everything and a folder with the words "Zdzichu - do not open (yet)."

I haven't opened it. More.

🐾 The cat is not wrong

I've kept the token in my pocket ever since. But the cat growls every time I approach, like a reactor on overheat. Even Franek asked: - Zdzichu, what did that cat do to you? - Nothing. But it seems to know more than I do.

Because since I have this token, SCADA started logging me in as "Administrator+.″.

📌 Scion's moral

The moral? There are things that open all doors. But not every door should be opened. Even if there is only coffee inside... or Zdzichu from the future.
