[ataraxites]

CHARACTERS: Ensemble production!
LOCATION: The newly discovered corridor, Prisoners' Quarters and Guards' Bunkhouse.
WARNINGS: A vague sense of creeping unease.
SUMMARY: Discovery and exploration of the Prisoners' Quarters and Guards' Bunkhouse.
NOTES: Open to all! Network map discovery is HERE. Bunkhouse discovery post is HERE. Have fun forward and back-dating, but don't forget to check the timelines!

The corridor you're walking down seems to stretch on forever, but maybe that's just the gloom ever-present in the belly of the ship, only cut through by the skittering beams of the flashlights you're carrying and the dim signal on the map. The map led you here, and the map seemed to indicate there was something at the end of this journey; a new area, perhaps, more answers. Something worth the risk of stepping into the darkness. Best stay alert, strain your senses — though there will be little advantage found in the warning of claws clicking against metal in the distance, a flash of red on the wall to your right...

Puzzles. Murphy hates puzzles. It strikes him a little too close to home. Too Silent Hill-like for comfort.

But this time, she didn't mention a Silent Hill. The fact that there could be another place like that just didn't sit well with him.

"Er, what's... Aperture?"

She points to her orange jumpsuit after writing.

Aperture Science testing facility.

Long story, but was trapped there solving puzzles to get through test chambers.

So... not something Murphy was familiar with.

It's actually almost a relief.

"That's... That sounds pretty bad. Sorry." He apologizes mostly on account of how lame the apology itself really sounds.
