You push the button.

Ding.

You have arrived in a room of doors.

Neat!

You go over to one, the one marked SP17, and try to open it. Sadly, it does not have a handle, so opening it would be rather difficult. You notice that it also lacks hinges. This door seems to be glued to the wall somehow. It is not meant to open.

You move on to the next door, and then the next, looking for handles. You get to the “dobal” doors, and try to open those. One of them has a padlock on it, which is weird. After trying to pull if off and failing, you try to ram your shoulder into the door. It feels extremely solid, refusing to move. You suspect that behind this door is the wall.

The next double door isn’t locked. You open it, and find, yep, the wall. Not even a painted wall, just the wall. The one after that opens outwards, meaning it’s blocked by the wall. It doesn’t open. And the last double door opens to reveal a concrete wall. Amazing.

The next couple of doors don’t have handles, and don’t budge when you push them. Eventually you get to the door marked SP14, and turn the handle. It turns. Expecting it to not open, you push.

To your surprise, it opens out onto a street.

Looks like this is the exit! You can leave now!

I hope you enjoyed your time here, I’m glad you didn’t die, etc, etc.

Bye!

You go back into the center of the room and push the button.

Nothing happens. I’ve disconnected it. This is the last room for you.

It’s testing. Tests.

Like, you know how you go online and can take a test to see what your spirit animal is, or what Disney princess you are? Think of this as a more… involved one of those.

Why not?

Secret tech. I signed an NDA, too. Also I don’t know most of the details, because I’m just paid to do the transcripts.

Nope! None at all. You should remember some of it when you get home and find your NDA.

But to do that, you have to leave. (Hint, hint.)

Hell if I know. That’s something the IT department handles. It’ll be a street in the city you live in, so don’t worry about that.

Unless you live in a super dangerous city, in which case you might want to worry a little bit.

At your house. You were given the jumpsuit there, and brought to this exact same door. Well, the same door on the outside. You’ll remember in a day or so. You were told to not bring any phone or wallet.

Not me personally, but IT can, since they know where you are.

No problem! Out you go!

Bye!

You step out the door, leaving the room and button behind.

I lose sight of you, wishing you well...

Uhhh… It’ll take me a couple minutes to find out where we left them, but I can do that, sure. No worries.

Want to grab a beer when we're done?

Do you have what we asked?

Excellent. You have done well.

You have been transported back to your home city. It may be near or far from the Facility.

First you must let us know where you are. We can see you, but nothing else. Blink once for A, twice for B, thrice for C, etc. When you reach your desired letter, touch your nose. When you have spelled out the name of the city, touch your nose twice.

…

Thank you. Researching your city now.

…

There is a street called Main. On a corner of that street a person will be waiting. A person wearing an orange mask, brass knuckles, and a Superman hoodie. Find this person, and give them the item. In return, this person will give you a “debit card” with five million euros on it. The PIN code will be 6060.

We will analyze it to find its place of origin. As the flower grew in the Room, rather than having been placed there, it will help us determine the location of the Facility.

Our objective is to find the Rooms. Our objective is to find the Observers.

What we do when we find them will be none of your concern. Your concern will be finding appropriate means of spending five million euros.

That is of no value to us, as it was placed in the Room, and not grown there.

Also, anything of value on it has probably been washed off during its stay in your mouth.

Feel free to keep it.

Go. Find the person.

Do not dawdle.

That is a… shame.

Know this: we can see you. We do not know where you are, but we will watch you until we figure it out.

We will find you.

When we do, we will have to analyze you. We would have analyzed a crystal or flower, but no matter. Your time in the Facility may have left enough clues as to its location.

The analyzation process will not be enjoyable for you. For that we apologize.

We may not find you soon, but worry not.

.

.

We WILL find you.

Thank you for offering us a secondary item to analyze.

It will be very useful.

We would not. Seeing as it was not grown in the Room, merely placed there the same as you, it does not hold as much value as a crystal or flower would have. We will have to analyze both you and the tooth.

Be on your way. We have no more business with you for the time being.
