You wake up in a sort of trance, as if you have awoken form a long sleep. Your eyes are heavy and your view is a blur, but you can tell you are in some sort of white, sterile room. You have no memory before this moment. A small square robot is moving towarad you. What do you say?
[[Hello?->hello]]
[[Don't say anything->hello]]Hello, my name is Bot37C, I'm the mechanized wake up assistant assigned to Colony483J. I see that you are waking up for the first time. You must have a lot of questions. Please change into these clothes and meet me outside the door. I'll lead you to the Orientation Room.
You look to the left to find a blue jumpsuit with "Colony483J" printed on the chest like a nametag. Ahead of you is a closed door that seems to lead to the hallway. There are no other windows or doors, only a small camera in the upper left corner of the room pointed toward to the table you just woke up on.
What do you do?
[[Put on the jumpsuit and meet Bot37C in the hallway->toOrientation]]
[[Don't put on the jumpsuit and try the door to see if it's unlocked->tryLockedDoor]]
(enchant: ?page, (text-colour: black) + (background: white))You put on the jumpsuit and it fits perfectly, weird because clothes never fit anyone perfectly. You walk toward the door. As you approach you hear a lock click to open. You try the handle and pull the door open easily. There must be a perimeter sensor in the jumpsuit that locks and unlocks doors.
You see Bot37C. It leads you down the brightly lit, blindingly white hallway. There are no windows but there are other doors. You notice that the doors have the same code as is printed on your jumpsuit, "Colony483J"
You reach the end of the hallway where there is one door. You hear the lock click to open and follow the Bot inside. There's only one chair in the room. It's facing a screen built into the wall. There's a camera in the left corner of the room again.
All of a sudden you look around and Bot37C is gone, the door is closed, and youre alone, supposedly...
What do you do next?
[[Try the door to see if it unlock or opens->tryDoor]]
[[Sit down in the chair, it seems like the next logical thing to do->sitInChair]]You try the door but it is definitely locked
[[Put on the jumpsuit->toOrientation]]You walk toward the door but there is no click. You try moving the handle but it doesn't even budge. You feel like the only thing to do next is sit in the chair and hope for the best.
[[sit in the chair->sitInChair]]As you sit down, a loud man in a navy blue dress suit pops up on the screen in front of you. "Hello, and welcome aboard!" he says at a much too enthusiastic volume. "You must have many questions, that's why I'm here! I first want to tell you that you are safe and there is no need to panic. You are aboard a spaceship called "The Courage", and you're not alone. Many people and bots call this ship home. In fact, a bot probably brought you right to this room! Bots are our helpful friends and neighbors aboard The Courage. In just a few minutes a bot will show you to your Quadrant, the place where you rest your head at night and keep any personal belonging you may aquire. Now, before I go, I want to wish you good luck, and Welcome to The Courage."
The screen goes black and a bright light emerges from the door. Bot37C enters the room again. "I hope you enjoyed the video, I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have on our way to your Quad."
You follow Bot37C out of the room. Which question do you ask first?
[[Where is my Quad?->whereIsQuad]]
[[Where is everyone else?->whereIsEveryoneElse]]
[[Why don't I remember anything before this?->don'tRemember]]"Your Quad is in the Eastern wing with the other Colony 483J members" says Bot37C. Any more questions?
[[Where is everyone else?->whereIsEveryoneElse]]
[[Why don't I remember anything before this?->don'tRemember]]
[[I have no more questions.->noQuestions]]Just as you are about to ask your question you walk out into a giant open area with high ceilings. There are thousands of people milling about in Jumpsuits which vary in color.
[[Where's my Quad?->whereIsQuad]]
[[Why don't I remember anything before this?->don'tRemember]]
[[No more questions.->noQuestions]]Bot37C doesn't respond for a few minutes, then replies with "for our safety, no one remembers anything before this." Do you have anymore questions?
[[Where is my Quad?->whereIsQuad]]
[[Where is everyone else?->whereIsEveryoneElse]]
[[I have no more questions.->noQuestions]]You are lead down a few hallways by the Bot, you pass through a set of double doors which are open. You wonder if these doors ever close or lock like the other doors you've seen and if you'll be able to pass through. You follw the bot down a few more hallways with doors on either side, some are open with people unpacking or chatting with others. The bot stops in front of a closed door.
"Welcome home" says the bot. "Through this door are your personal Quarters, 319. Please take some time to explore your quarters. Later there will be full quadrant meeting and welcome dinner in the Eastern Hall."
The Bot leaves you to explore your quarter. As you approach the door number 319 it clicks to unlocked and slides open. This door must be activated by proximity as well. You walk through the door to find a simple floor plan. An open room with a kitchenette on the left wall and sqaure table with four chairs acts as a dining room of sorts. The right corner of the room has a small white carpet, 3 seater couch, and a cushioned chair, almost like a living room. They face what looks like a TV embedded into the wall. The walls are white with no windows and there's a door with a handle directly across the room from you.
What do you explore first?
[[The Kitchenette->exploreKitchenette]]
[[The Living Room->exploreLivingRoom]]
[[The Door->exploreTheDoor]]
[[Leave Your Quarters->leaveYourQuarters]]The kitchenette is all white, just like the rest of the room. It has a small refridgerator, a microwave, and an oven. There's also a built in sink and some empty cabinets.
Nothing interesting to see here, what do you check out next?
[[explore the living room->exploreLivingRoom]]
[[explore the door->exploreTheDoor]]
[[leave your quarters->leaveYourQuarters]] You enter the living room and are drawn to the screen. You try tapping it and color bursts across the screen. A welcome screen appears then fades to a menu. The menu has lots of widgets including internet, video, music, and settings. You check out the settings widget to find a secondary widget called "adjust quarters". You click on this out of curiosity. A picture of your quarters pop up, there are sliders on the side of the screen that seem to allow you to adjust color, you try one of the sliders and it changes the color of your wall! This is definitely something you'll have to play around with later.
What do you check out next?
[[explore the kitchenette->exploreKitchenette]]
[[explore the door->exploreTheDoor]]
[[leave your quarters->leaveYourQuarters]] As you approach the door you hear no clicking sounds at all. You turn the knob and pull the door open, this door must not lock or unlock with the sensor. You find a small bedroom with a dresser and closet, desk, a bed large enough for two people, and two small tables, one on each side of the bed.
Where do you explore next
[[Explore the Kitchenette->exploreKitchenette]]
[[Explore the Living Room->exploreLivingRoom]]
[[Leave your Quarters->leaveYourQuarters]] Just as you were wondering when dinner was, a friendly dinging sound comes on over a speaker you didn't see at first mounted into the wall. A high pitched voice starts talking,"The Eastern Quadrent Dinner will begin in 15 minutes, please make your way to the Eastern Hall if you aren't there already, thank you." It must be time to head to dinner.
