<<<<<<<End Transmission>>>>>>>>

Your eyes begin to open, the light is blinding. You do not know who you are, where you are, you do not recall anything previous to the last minute. The black and green transmission screen you could just see when your eyes were shut is the only memory you have. As your eyes adjust to the bright light around you, you find yourself lying of the floor in the middle of a perfectly square white room. The walls, ceiling and floor radiate a very bright white light. There does not appear to any entrance or exits.

You begin to pull yourself to your feet, you just about reach a crouched position when you notice out of your peripheral vision a small opening on the wall directly to your left. Before you can consciously react a small smooth round projectile fires out of the hole at high speed aiming for your head. Time seems to hang, and your body moves by instinct, with relative ease you throw yourself back down onto the ground as the projectile flies clear over your head and disappears into the opposite wall.

There is little time to lie still and contemplate what just happened. Once again instinct takes over as three more openings appear around the room, one of them on the ceiling, one directly in front and one behind you, as the projectiles begin to fly, it is as if you can see their trajectory like lines drawn in the air, you flip onto your feet and take a small side step, they fly harmlessly past.

All of this this happens in a blur. Now on your feet it is much easier to dodge the projectiles, many more openings appear and you dodge each and every one without any conscious effort. You have no time frame reference but eventually the projectiles stop. Everything goes dark again.
