Welcome.

[trustwellness]

You wake with the unshakable feeling that you shouldn't be here. Perhaps you were in the middle of something, perhaps you weren't. Either way, you're waking up in an unfamiliar location with no recollection of how you got here. The room you've woken up in is sparsely-decorated, though that might be difficult to tell at first given how nice the beds are...but eventually you'll notice a few things that are a little...off. Maybe the scent is striking you wrong - it's clean, but it's not yours. Maybe your bed back home doesn't support your back in quite this way. Maybe you should be seeing sunlight through your window by now. Maybe you should have a window in the first place. This isn't right, but leaving the room won't give you any more answers. You might want to grab the silver key sitting on your trunk on the way out. Don't worry though, you aren't all alone here. Once you step outside your room into the hallway, you'll notice that a few others are emerging from their rooms as well. It looks like they're just as confused and concerned as you are. Feel free to talk to them, but none of you know how exactly you wound up here and maybe some useful information can be found by exploring. If you follow the hallway to its end (and it's a very long hallway), you'll eventually arrive in the foyer. You'll find some very interesting information about yourselves on the wall near the clock. Perhaps even more importantly, if you look on the other side of the multi-pendulumed thing, you'll find other framed information that you might want to pay attention to. It could very well be the key to escaping this strange place, after all. Don't worry if you forget the rules, you can find them in every room of the building. Of course, search as you might, you won't find a doorway or a window of any sort. Getting out won't be so easy, it seems. But who knows? Perhaps your fellow captives have something to say about all of this. Welcome to Chronos University.

[ ZPD? Is that a branch of the Peacekeepers? That looks kind of like a Peacekeeper uniform. ]

Of course! Anything you need.

[officerhops]

[So many people are being cooperative that it outweighs those that aren't, so at least Judy's got...a somewhat more positive outlook on these new people.]

Could you tell me if the information listed in your profile is accurate or not?

[iamthatsea]

Hm... well, I don't know who Ambralia is? And I haven't seen Galilea in years, but other than that it's not too far off.

[officerhops]

Okay...so it's mostly correct with a few inaccuracies. That seems to be a common consensus.

Is there anything else of note, or is that all you've seen right now? And- do you remember where you were before you woke up here?

[iamthatsea]

I was... near the Undersky on Akopos. A freshwater ocean planet. And I woke up in a different outfit than I was in! That's probably important, right?

[officerhops]

It is important. And, uh....

[She makes a face. What the hell is this kidnapper of theirs trying to pull?]

Well, either way, I'm hoping to put this information to use to answer a few of the questions we all have here.

But...you say you're from another planet?

[That's probably important too, even if it's hard to believe right off.]

[iamthatsea]

Yeah, I have no idea what's up with all this.

[ She said, gesturing to... her pants..... ]

Yup. I mean... everyone's from a planet, right? What planet are you from?

[officerhops]

[...what is it with humans(???) and having different opinions on the clothes situation?]

Well, I'm...from earth. But maybe it's a bit presumptuous of me to assume everyone here is. It just...doesn't make any sense.

[iamthatsea]

Earth?

[ So many people here who say they're from Earth... ]

This place makes less and less sense the more time goes by. But I think you have the right idea.

[officerhops]

That's for sure. I apologize for not having any more information than I do currently, but I'm working to find out more. Any little bit of participation really helps.

[iamthatsea]

We did just get here. Nothing to apologize for, um... whatever your people are called. Or your name, that's probably better.

[officerhops]

Judy, Judy Hopps. I'm a bunny to be more specific. Apparently other animals are hard to come by right now.

[iamthatsea]

A Bun-ee from Earth. Got it. I'm Alani, a half-human half-Helician from the planet Akopos.

[officerhops]

[That's a million dollar word if she's ever heard one.]

Question...would you describe your planet as being one that is hard to get to, Alani?

[iamthatsea]

Not a lot of people bother. It's out of the way, but we get scientists sometimes studying the ecosystem. There aren't a lot of freshwater ocean planets out there, you know?

[officerhops]

Right. I guess yours must be an undiscovered planet...at least as far as where I come from goes. The reason I ask is I'm wondering just how our culprit got us all here in the first place.

[iamthatsea]

Hm... that's a really good question. I don't know any kind of warping technology that works underwater.

[officerhops]

...does that mean you know of...other warping technology?

[iamthatsea]

Sure, it's what the LLC uses for their uh... Respawns, I think they call them? And the Jennerit use it to deploy troops. But I was underwater before I came here, and we don't have any of that stuff on Akopos because it doesn't work underwater.

[officerhops]

[This is so over her head it's not even funny.]

Oookay, well...I guess I'll consider that being a thing that our captor could have potentially used. Unless you don't think he could have gotten his hands on it?
