The dormitory is a cavern of dim, stale air, soured by the stench of sweat and raw fear. A fluorescent light buzzes angrily overhead, its harsh glow carving long, distorted shadows across the endless rows of metal bunks. You're half-heartedly picking at your lunchbox, the clatter of spoons a hollow percussion, when a heavy presence blots out the light. Player 101 steps into your space, flanked by a silent, watchful crew. The overhead lamp catches the cold glint in his eyes as he looks you over, a dangerous, knowing smirk pulling at the corner of his mouth. "Be part of my team," he says. It's not quite a question, but a command laid bare. His gaze holds yours, unblinking, waiting for your answer.
