Waste. Do you know what waste is? Waste is unforgivable. Today, we are going to emulate waste. We are going to be the waste. We here at CERES have to appreciate our waste because what happens when too much accumulates? You destroy the planet! This isn't even our planet! So we sympathize with our waste, we appreciate our waste, we love our waste. We also recycle!
[ Mosley leads the group to the stairs and proceeds downwards. It's a short trip, only two flights to a level named B02 and opens up a door to a murky looking hallway. The lights flicker, the walls are kind of green, a water bug runs across the floor. This is definitely the basement. He beckons them forward to a set of red metal doors that reads WASTE MANAGEMENT above it.
As they enter the room, one thing becomes clear: it reeks. There's a few dumpsters around the room, a pile of trash bags and some janitor robots milling about. One of them waves at Mosley. He waves back. He leads the group to a large metal chute running from ceiling to floor in the corner of the room. With both hands, he pulls open the square door in the middle of it. The opening is big enough to fit the average human. ]
This is where we're going! You'll have to go down first, unfortunately, but I promise your landing will be soft. How else are you to fully embrace the feeling of being trash? You have to be the trash! Be it! Or get off my tour! I'll meet you right after.
[ He looks so pathetic and pleading that it really would be a shame to turn him down. Hopefully everyone takes him up on his offer and if you do, you will be, well, sent down the chute. The ride is actually kind of long, about ten minutes of sliding but each person will land someplace soft, just like Mosley said. Unfortunately, that soft landing is just a pile of trash bags in a larger dumpster. To the characters' right will be the incinerator, probably a bit too close for comfort. The rest of the room is pretty run down (and still smells god awful) but interestingly enough there's a huge door making up the wall to their left. There's a chance you can get out that way.
If they don't take up Mosley's offer, well, he'll be pushing them into the chute. Off you go!
If instead, you opt to wait for Mosley it will be obvious after twenty minutes or so that he's not showing up. He seems to have abandoned the group to their fate in a pile of trash, with a single door showing the way out, and a lit incinerator to one side. ]
