Welcome, Participants

[mockmods]

Good morning, Participants. The time is now 7:30 AM.

[Where were you before this? Doesn’t matter, you’re here now, in an unfamiliar bed, surrounded by unfamiliar people, with a slightly-too-cheerful automated voiced chiming over a PA system to wake you up. Your pockets are empty, save for an unfamiliar smartphone type of device that comes alive under your touch, displaying, among other things, a map, a series of profiles, and a list of rules.]

It is understood that you may have questions; please be patient, and gather back in the Common Room in one hour. The Assistant will be present at this time to answer your questions. In the meantime, please feel free to explore the Facility at your leisure.

[The doors to the dorm areas are freely open from the inside, though you’ll find that it takes your electronic id to regain entry once you’ve left. Otherwise, it’s as the voice says, and you’ve got an hour to explore your new surroundings and get to know your fellow kidnappees.]

[Welcome to the Facility.]

[Slowly, as Janet is speaking, Rosa relaxes her grip on her throat, since it doesn't seem to be....doing anything, actually. Okay. She blinks.]

How'd you know my name? You been spying on me?

[boophithere]

[Janet holds up her phone.]

I memorized everyone's profiles.

[biolence]

Uh. [She's looking at Janet like she's insane, which. Well. She might be, in her own way.]

Why? Wait, what profiles. Where'd you get a phone?

[Rosa was a little too busy flipping shit to notice that particular detail. Crack detective work, Diaz.]

[boophithere]

[oh, Rosa, if you think Janet is nuts wait until you meet Michael. But it's lucky Janet is used to dealing with keeping calm in the face of panicking humans.]

Check your pocket. Whoever kidnapped us gave them to all of us.

[Rose gropes for her pockets, feels something phone-shaped in there, and pulls it out to reveal that it's not her phone, but it is a phone.]

Why would you give a bunch of people you kidnapped a way to communicate? That's terrible strategy.
