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.]

Doesn't matter if you are or you aren't. People love to watch mindless drama, and drama's what they're gonna get at this rate.

Kinda an understatement, honestly. Don't think murder's a big theme on Big Brother.

Well they sure loved Battle Royale, didn't they?

That’s a movie, that’s totally different. I wouldn’t watch actual real people do that shit.

Yeah, well, there's a lot of sick fucks out there who would. Like our overseers.

Doesn’t seem viable as a huge commercial thing, though? Like, it must’ve cost some money to set all this up.

My other thought was that this is all an experiment. I don't know what they're trying to test, but they'd make an elaborate setup for something like that.
