WEEK 0 — ARRIVAL

[cartesio]

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 28^th
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.

So we're probably dealing with some rich guys... Rich guys that are okay with picking up a load of randoms and kids and dumping them in the middle of nowhere.

[He tilts his head down to look. You okay kid?]

Rich, or very well-connected...government-level, maybe. If this is America, possibly multinational. ...If we can figure out who, we'll have a better guess at why, and if we find out why, we'll have a good idea of who.

[A-okay! Already working on figuring out the situation. He is, if anything, difficult to rattle.]

[streetwolf]

Aren't they the same thing? [Don't answer that. And Wayne nods his head.]

I'm more bothered about the why than the who. You seen who else got brought here? [He gestures at the boy with his hands.] I've heard of kids and girls being picked up and never seen again, but there's a right mix here.
