Description

Game flavor: "The crimson disc your double was seemingly listening to when he was zeroed out. Its handwritten label reads 'Ultra Violeta: You But From a Dream'."

This is a story item. PSEUDOPOD — Hershel's double — was found dead in [Foto 24](/wiki/locations/foto-24)'s second-floor safehouse with the Protypo 909 stereo running. Eject the disc, you take it with you. The handwritten label is the lead.

The disc opens [What's Wrong, PSEUDOPOD?](/wiki/tasks/whats-wrong-pseudopod) when you bring it to [Petre, the Format Fetishist](/wiki/characters/petre-the-format-fetishist) — the audio-disc vendor in the Bootleg Bazaar. Showing it to Petre unlocks the "Music Player" check on his end.

Things worth holding in mind:

- "Ultra Violeta" isn't a documented artist or label in other launch-wiki entries. Either it's a unique track or it's a pseudonym for someone you'll meet. - The disc is handwritten-labeled — meaning bootleg or homemade, not a Petre-grade pressed release. - The fact that your double was listening to it at the moment of death is the kind of detail Zero Parades plants on purpose. Read it as a clue, not a coincidence.

This item drives the PSEUDOPOD investigation forward. Hold onto it until you can show Petre.
