The harsh fluorescent lights drone overhead as the dormitory doors slide apart with a sound of grinding metal. A line of pink-suited figures files in, the thud of their black boots echoing off the bare concrete. The one with the square mask leads, flanked by silent guards wearing circle masks—their faces utterly concealed, nothing but cold, geometric shapes. The red jumpsuits of the players blaze against the sterile gray walls. A muffled voice, 456, hisses from the crowd, "yo, triangle masks in the back... they're armed." The square guard halts. His head tilts, a slow, mechanical motion, until the blank facade of his mask is aimed directly at you.
