DAY 00

[thecomputer]

[Good afternoon, Citizens!

Your consciousness blurrily returns as the transport tube your comatose body was stored in opens up, admitting you access to an unfamiliar room. One wall is covered by vertical tubes, one occasionally sliding open to admit another confused person. The wall across from you has a sign saying "PROCEED TO CENTRAL HUB", with an arrow pointing at a red doorway in the corner. The wall to your right contains an unlabeled, dusty, and poorly-lit hallway with blue walls, floor, and ceiling. You can't see the end from here.

Somewhere on your person, you will find a thin, smartphone-sized object that wasn't there before. One side of it is lit up with a red background and a number of disabled menu items. Most of the screen is taken up by another message saying "PROCEED TO CENTRAL HUB".

What is this place, anyway? And who are these people stumbling in through the transport tube array?]

[...well then.]

You're not already losing it, are you?

[schrodingers_man]

[ What are you talking about this is perfectly normal behavior! At least the laughing's calmed down a little and he's rubbing his fist instead of continuing to hit the floor, so he must not be entirely nutters. ]

I'm fine. Haha, it really hurts....

[plentyfriendly]

If you say so.

[Most of the injuries would probably be internal, anyway.]

So what do you plan on doing now that you know your arm works?

[schrodingers_man]

[ It doesn't look like he punched hard enough to break his hand, at least. He's a weedy nerd, anyway, he probably doesn't have the arm strength to break it anyway. ]

The sign says to go to the "Central Hub," and it doesn't look like there's a whole lot of other options right now.

[ Yes, let's act like we are perfectly normal after a first impression like that, flawless plan. ]

[plentyfriendly]

True. Someone, or more likely something, is probably going to be there to tell us what we're here for.

[schrodingers_man]

Why are you expecting a "something"?

[plentyfriendly]

You really think whoever did this is going to show their face?
