“Thank you Major.” I get up and shake his hand and follow Shyke. I’m visibly kind of overwhelmed but excited.

He takes you through a network of modern looking underground tunnels, concrete, painted dark grey, ceiling white and floor is slate white, with non slip coating. About hip height the walls have those distinct coolers for locations and all that, and on the ground the flow of foot traffic as before. You reach an elevator and go up. You arrive at an electronics distribution center and Shyke uses the kiosk and calls up a L-Top. Once it’s obtained, he hands it to you so you can carry it. Then, he takes you to your locker area.
Shyke: “He gave you the code.” He hints that you need to login and get your stuff.

I type in the user and code he gave me into the system.

In it is your backpack with all your stuff. It’s bloody and torn and you can’t wear it with one strap ripped off and dangling. The L-Top is pierced on the lower right side of you open it and it’s splitting from the hinge, one hinge is broken off slightly. The power cord is fine, and your phone is also ok. Your earpieces are missing, but you still have the charging case. Your clothes are also in there but are mostly torn. Your shoes are also there with socks, but they are also bloody and have small gashes in the shoes. One sock has a hole in it, near the heel of the toes. There is a distinct scent of sanitizing fluid. When you check your phone it doesn’t turn on. It could be fried or it could just be out of battery. You won’t know till you plug it in.
Shyke: “Too bad you don’t have that M-14. But it’s good he got it. We will never know how they ended up. With our gear, hopefully they’ll do well.” He pays your shoulder. “Let’s go.” He walks to the exit.

I head to walk out. “So what do I do from here?”

Shyke: “I’ll take you to your room, send you a map of authorized places, you do your homework and get caught up to speed on what happened in this world since the war. And maybe take in the base, hit the gym, then once you’ve been integrated culturally you can join some of us in town. Vancouver is a hot spot and so is Seattle.”

“Where exactly are we now? Think I might have missed that. Vancouver?”

Shyke: “You are in the Scar Creek Research Facility, north west of Vancouver. We are further north of Vancouver than Vancouver is north of Seattle. If that helps.” You reach the room after a good 20 minute walk. “Here is your room. Far, I know, for being in a mountain. It’s like a massive university, military base and production complex all in one. The population is more than some fair size cities.” He waits a moment for you to get in, then- “Oh. The code is the same as your locker. You can change it to whatever you wish once you login for the first time. It’s also touch lock. You can set it for retina and finger print code and voice, but do that later if you want. Get accustom to our world. If a doorway is locked, you aren’t cleared to enter. You have free roam of this place. Food court is top floor. It has a nice overlook view of the airstrip. Pilots are always on a crazy approach. I’ll leave you with yourself. My contact info is in the file the major gave you. All you have to do is look. I hate to rush but I do need to go. I’m about to be late for a briefing.” He steps back. “Anything else ?” He asks just to be sure he’s not leaving you blind.

“I’m good. I’m going to go check out some food and see some of the area on the base. Don’t worry about me, I’m a big boy.” I smile at him and offer a hand shake. “Thanks for coming to get me. Not saying I would’ve died because I’m like, that bad ass. But you definitely saved me some trouble of having to kill every zombie on that planet with my bare hands.” I wink at him.

Shyke: “I was only letting you practice, maybe you will be as good as us someday, haha. But I do need to go. Get that food.” He heads down the hallway.

I go inside my room and set down my belongings and check it out.

There are two default rooms styles. You have a single. There is a touch screen flat scree TV on the wall that can be connected to with Bluetooth and you can watch videos from your phone on the TV. The bed can flip up and fold into a couch. The desk can hold many things and has computer hookups. The bathroom has normal locks on inside.

I drop my things on the bed and head to the food court for something to eat.
