DAY 00

[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?]

[As much as the urge is there to clear the hallway in one quick dash, Aud keeps to the center in a brisk walk, on the outlook for corners--if any. The mechanical voice is not reassuring. It keeps going, despite standing still to test her limit. When the countdown progresses, the woman dashes back until it ceases completely.]

Well, that was worth a try.

Probably not worth trying again though. Those things look like they mean business!

[Granted, Curly's quite happy to know what happens if you try to leave the red areas. If it comes down to it she thinks she can manage the turrets... but who knows how many more there are further down the hall.]

Pretty efficient of them, if inconvenient. [Death is more than an inconvenience, but that's that.]

Yeah. It really makes you wonder what's down there that they're protecting.

Then again, the rules say we'll have our clearance levels will go up the longer we participate in the exercise. Maybe it's something we'll have access to later?
