Welcome to the Program

Good Morning, Champions. In the interest of maintaining healthy sleep patterns, a day/night cycle is in effect. Your presence is expected in the cafeteria in exactly one hour.

[The voice comes through not a large speaker, but through the device that's attached to each Champion's arm. Further investigation of the features of the device will reveal a list of profiles, a mini-map, and a list of rules. The hallways are shiny white and silver, with running lights along the floor and lights on the ceiling, and at the junction of the hallways is a sign with a knife and fork icon and an arrow pointing down the hall.

Welcome to the Excellence Program, Champions. Time to get to know your teammates.]

[ yeah. that's...yuri's reaction, too. to shove his hands in his pockets but, alas. ]

Yeah. It's just a matter of when that's gonna happen.

[There's a glint of steel in his gray eyes. Not denial: he knows people do stupid things when they're scared. He knows this. But a refusal to accept that it's a given outcome. Resistance]

Unless we can cut this off at the root before it starts.

And how do you plan on doing that? We can't do jack shit to the "Overseers" or whatever.

I don't know yet. But it won't be the first time I've gone into a fight and had to improvise. I'm not going to do something stupid and get us all killed... But if they brought us here, then there's a way out.

Just can't let anyone else panic and do something stupid until then. Keep things calm, hopefully.
