And with the sweat of your brow...

Fun Fact: Did you know that if the multiverse is real, there could be an almost infinite square mileage of completely unexplored ocean out there?

No reason.

...

You wake in one of 25 rooms with a sense of unease that doesn't quite track with how nice the accommodations are. Maybe it has something to do with the giant window leading out to the sea. The temperature is low, which might make you wish you had woken up under the luxurious covers instead of atop them. The lights, too, are low. But next to your bed is a small personal radio, and it's playing a song for you. There's also a small note printed on folded cardstock next to it.

Dear Prospective Citizen,

Welcome to the Helios Suites at New Rapture. The time should currently be 12:00 PM. Please take a moment to get your bearings and become acquainted with your new environment, then meet in the hotel lobby at 1:30 PM sharp for an orientation with Mayor Fontaine.


With only that for guidance, there's only the one thing to do: get out there and start exploring... well, it's hardly a full city, but it's something! And in the halls (or on the wall of your suite or the lobby), you very well may find up to 24 other captives.

What you do until your meeting with Mayor Fontaine, well... that's up to you. Every room certainly gives you something to talk about.

Classified, hm?

[ He tilts his head, curious. ]

There must be quite a few people who might be worried about you now...

Correct. My disappearance will be a cause of concern for them all. I have been attempting to find a way to reach out as soon as I can.

[And then ask them to command her to self-destruct. She can't do it herself because self-preservation is programmed into her, even though she is supposed to self-destruct if stolen by unauthorized individuals]

... Not much luck with that, I take it.

[ Not even a messenger pigeon would be able to get out of this place... ]

None yet. We will have to find a way out by ourselves instead of rely on any interference from outside. Currently that's our best option.

[Or at least that's what her simulations say! Although many of those simulations also kind of hint perhaps not everybody in this city will survive}
