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?]

[He's in charge of it. The Crawler??]

I would say it's been a pleasure meeting you, but these circumstances aren't ideal.

[It's okay, he's just a socially awkward guy, no big deal!]

[...you know, that sounds like the start of a story that ends with a warning not to take drugs.]

When we get out of here, we can get better acquainted. It shouldn't be too hard to break out of this place.

[Which. Certainly makes it sound like he's broken out of prison before.]

[If only. Unfortunately, there were no drugs involved.]

Do you think so? Have you broken out from a place like this before?

[Well that's certainly interesting!]
ossifragant: (⊗ you have lots on your mind)

Not like this.

I'm not familiar with the technology of this place to know what I can do to it. If I do the wrong thing, I might cause a gun to appear from the ceiling and hail bullets at me or something.

[There's also the little matter of him nearly breaking his hand trying to smash through a wall.

......look, he used to be able to do it!!]

[Greed...]

I suppose that is a valid concern. It's best to be cautious for now.
