Piercing the Curtain

[Dennis Jameson]

As Jayce stood wondering what would happen next, the door slam shut behind him and a blinding white light filled the room. As his eyes started to get used to the source of light, he could now see that the room resembled a fancy automated surgical suite.

The walls were white, and has several stains on them, which caused Jayce to remember the rather uncomfortable interrogation rooms the Coalition utilizes to greet their... visitors. The rest of the room was composed of different machinery situated around a rather basic stainless metal slap.

Before Jayce had the time to analyze the equipment in more detail, a monitor on the far side of the room was activated...

"Well hello, Mr Brooks. Now, there's no need to be afraid... while this place may resemble a mortuary it really isn't."

The monitor displayed no face, only a set of orange eyes.

"Now, I'm ready to get started if you are. I would like to take this chance to educate you of the risks you impose upon yourself by agreeing to this operation. I'm sure you'll still ask me to do this for you, however I do take pride in informing all of my patients of the risks they run when agreeing to have me poke around in their innards for a while. So again: Ask your questions, or don't..."
