Welcome to the Program

[airlockedmods]

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.]

Interrogate? Like... interrogate interrogate?

[Slaine, my dude, that is so something an Imperial officer would say.]

[batfortheprincess]

Um... does it mean something else to you?

[it just means getting information out of people however possible, right???]

[photoshooter]

You don't mean torture, right? Like in the movies?

[Like what Prompto's been afraid will happen to him since the moment he assumed he was in an Imperial base?]

[batfortheprincess]

N-no, that's not what I meant. [He lets out a short exhale.] But I thought if there were any, they should know more than us about what's going on here.

[photoshooter]

Oh. Yeah, I guess that'd make sense if there's a person in charge around here...

[As opposed to what, Prompto?]

[batfortheprincess]

There should be. It looks too elaborate to just be the work of some disorganized kidnappers.

[Probably...?? Hm.]

[photoshooter]

Well, yeah, of course. I assumed this was part of a base.

[Which is why he was panicking.]

Though I guess an Imperial base with a rec room doesn't make a whole lot of sense, either.

[batfortheprincess]

Imperial...?

[Vers is an Empire with all the stuff that entails but Slaine is pretty sure their bases don't look like this?? Also people don't really go around calling them Imperial such and such, but.]

Um... are you talking about the Vers Empire?

[photoshooter]

[The what?]

No, I mean the Empire of Niflheim. Right?

[batfortheprincess]

Maybe... we both were misunderstanding the situation from the very beginning. I don't know where the Empire of Niflheim is, and I don't believe they would have a reason to capture me.

[photoshooter]

...I'm so lost.

[What even is this day.]
