WEEK 0 — ARRIVAL



Week 0: Arrival
When you wake up you immediately feel something’s off. You sit on the bed and find it’s not your bed, and this isn’t your room either. You seem to be in a rather normal-looking motel room. To your side there’s a trunk, if you open it you’ll find a military uniform, the key to your room, a set of rules and a debit card. Don’t lose those items! Or do lose the rules, you'll find a brand new copy the next day under your pillow. There’s also a calendar on the wall, you can see today’s date. The year is unreadable, but the month and day are very clear:

March 28th

There it says ‘Meet the Sergeant at the Lodge, 9:00 AM’. There’s also a circle around March 31st, with the word ‘END’ scrawled there.

For now leaving your motel room would be a good choice. When you reach the lobby, you see the receptionist’s desk— no one’s manning it. There’s a rack filled with maps, marking several locations in the town.

There are also many strangers here – and you’re one more. For now it may be a good idea to take a map and explore the town.

After all, looks like you’re stuck here in the boonies for a while.

Of course it is. We also have to make sure we're ready if this fails. We need a defense, and we need to know who's good at what. We need to be prepared for whatever happens, good or bad.

I'm afraid my only skills are diplomacy and my ability to fill out paperwork. If I had my ARCUS or my orbal staff that would be another matter, though... How about you? What are your skills?

We should all go around and state our talents. Perhaps once we know what our group is capable of, this will all seem easier.

Me?

...I used to be a professional surfer and bartending. Now I work in disaster preparedness with an emphasis on sharks.

[yup, he gets the feeling you don't know who he is. Thankfully, perhaps?]
