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.]

Don't explain the joke, man.

[Like, come on...]

Could be. I think it's more likely that we've all moved to a different timeline. Seems like there's some parallel universes at play already, I think I'd have heard if Earth started spawning undead humans and sapient crocodiles.

There was a joke there? How sad.

[He literally didn't notice]

The undead humans aren't a surprise for me, but the crocodiles are new.

[Well it was more an offhanded one than a riotious-laughter type of thing...whatever, it'll sound worse if he belabors it.]

They had their time to be bipedal.
