▶ VIDEO.EXE | IC: 1/25
[ The broadcast comes bright and early for those paying attention to their CereVices; the man who appears on the screen is strikingly pale, white-haired and piercingly blue-eyed. He looks young, no more than nineteen or twenty and he's dressed in a crisp black and white suit. He stares into the screen for a long moment, long enough to be, frankly, just a bit uncomfortable.▶ ACTION.EXE | IC: 1/26
And then white eyelashes blink and an awkward, unsure smile spreads across his face. He lifts a hand to fix his tie and speaks. ]
This is Mosley.
[ The smile drops, leaving him with a blank expression once again. ]
CERES has decided in a show of good faith to open our doors to you. I have been given the task of, [ He lifts his hands to emphasize with air quotes. ] "being your tour guide." If that is what I must do, so be it. The lazy worm does not get the apple, after all.
[ He looks down at the tablet on his desk, giving it a few taps and suddenly an icon appears on the bottom right hand of the video. ]
That link will bring you to a listing to make an appointment. You will be given a time. Show up promptly or do not, it is no matter to me. The tour will leave ten minutes after your given time and that will be that. Tours will only last a few hours so you needn't worry about the rest of your day. You will certainly return home in time to catch the latest episode of [ Air quotes again. ] "Banana is the New Black." I hear there's going to be a cliffhanger!
[ A pause and he looks oddly thoughtful. ]
I suppose you could also steal it off the internet? [ Blank again. ] Which would be wrong. Our lawyers will contact you if you do that. Do not.
[ And then another of those awkward smiles before quickly turning into something a bit startled and he taps his tablet again, ending the video. Replies to this feed have been disabled, unfortunately. Seems like someone isn't feeling very chatty. It's a miracle. ]
[ The next day, that Monday, those who take Mosley up on his offer will find that him standing there right in front of the main CERES office building, waiting. It’s with that same disconcerting smile that he unlocks the door and ushers them in.
Welcome, all of you, to our lovely CERES!
The group will find themselves standing in a lobby. Clean white walls and floors, a bright blue rug leading towards the elevators on the far wall, and a white reception counter. At the counter are two CERES robots answering calls and directing any visitors (though the lobby seems quite empty today) and on the wall behind them is a hologram of the CERES logo for all to see. Mosley stands in the center of the carpet in his usual suit and claps his hands together, putting on a smile. ]
Welcome to CERES.
[ And then the smile drops. Voice flat, he continues. ]
There has been... talk over the past few months that we at CERES have not been working 24/7 to help you, our clientele, return to your homes safely and soundly. There has also been... talk that we do not do anything. That this entire company is a farce, which is honestly quite hurtful to both me and the other hardworking staff at this company. Mr. Vincere had his way of running this place but Ms. Recreare is fond of a more hands on approach. We want to share that approach with you.
[ He spreads his hands to indicate to the building around them. ]
CERES has many fingers in many jars and they've all been sealed tight for a while. We would like to open those jars. So once again, welcome to CERES and please follow me.
[ After that, Mosley turns and begins to lead the group off. ]

[ What a picture. What could it all mean? Aura's going to snap a picture of it for posterity. ]
Hopefully they know that they're expecting visitors.
[ And still cautiously looking about, Aura approaches one of the nearer office workers. ]
What department is this?
no subject
What do you want?
[ A pause, as he takes in their appearances. ]
Wait, who are you people? You shouldn't be here. You don't have clearance.
[ Well, that's less than friendly. ]
no subject
O-Oh, we're part of the tour groups! Mr. Mosley said that this floor would of interest to us. He's left us to our own devices though so... I mean, he seemed busy with something else and left us.
no subject
That's right! So we have the best clearance of all, don't we? So you should, um... give us a tour of this department!
[ DEMANDS... politely. ]
no subject
Always stealing our coffee and putting up stupid cat pictures on the walls, no matter how often we take them down. He's a pest, and so're you.
[ Wow, who made them so grumpy today.... ]
This is the Code Technician floor, you know? We don't have the time to waste on you people.
no subject
[ She puts a hand on her hip and stares down the person they were talking to. In between the elevator, the pop music and the apparent miscommunication between departments, Aura's patience is growing very thin. ]
no subject
We apologize for interrupting your work. But we would like to know what it entails in order to better understand how this environment works.
[A beat.]
And we'll be going to two other floors... If it's not too much, would you also tell us about what's on floors 22 and 40?
no subject
And maybe you could tell us what happened to the other two in our tour group who disappeared in the elevator...? That sounds like it could have something to do with your department, sir. If it's not too much trouble...
[ From his rudeness so far she's guessing it will be. ]
no subject
Floor 22 are the World Technicians, and Floor 40 are the Defense Technicians, and they are also all busy doing their jobs. If you want to look around, fine, but don't touch anything.
Seriously.
[ and with that, he turns back to his computer. You can keep trying to pester him if you want, or you can go back to the elevator, or you can poke around the room and see what's there...the possibilities are endless! ]
no subject
So it looks like nobody here knew that we were coming, yet Mosley sent us here. I think there's something on the other floors for us because it sounds like he wanted to throw us off the trail.
[ She looks up, looking around the room. ]
Unless you wanna snoop around here.
no subject
I say we be more persistent about what goes on this floor. If Mr. Mosley says there's something of interest, I'm inclined to believe at least that.
no subject
[ Thumb bite. ]
And if we don't find anything interesting very quickly we can go check out the other floors, too.
no subject
[ She kinda wants it. With that, she starts making her way towards said poster, making sure to bring Ai and Pearl with her. ]
no subject
[HOW BOLD...]
no subject
[ was all Aura offered with a shrug. ]
Keep an eye out for anything interesting.
no subject
It really is just a normal poster though, there's nothing behind it or anything.
Congratulations, Aura, you now have +1 motivational cat poster. But with the workers firmly ignoring them, they can poke at whatever they would like; there are computer terminals, two alternate office doors on the floor, and, of course, the cubicles that the workers themselves are working in. ]
no subject
[ And would anyone care if they messed with them.
AND CONGRATS ON THE CAT POSTER, AURA, Pearl approves. These workers clearly don't appreciate a good cat poster when they see one. ]
no subject
I can keep watch while Miss Aura checks the computers. If anyone comes by to ask, as long as they aren't machines...
[Ai lowers her voice to a whisper for Aura and Pearl's ears only.]
I can hypnotize to an extent. It's not that strong, but it'll buy us some time.
no subject
[ She hands the cat poster to Ai and Pearl as she opts to go near a computer terminal. ]
Pretend to look at the poster, obscure me with it.
[ And with that, she begins to try and gain access onto the terminal and try and dig up whatever she can. ]
no subject
Though she doesn't seem to have a lot of information to be accessed at the moment at her fingertips. There's a single document titled Code and You: A Beginner's Guide.
Seems this terminal was set up for visitors. How handy! ]
no subject
Anything yet, Miss Aura?
no subject
[ She cursed underneath her breath and sighed, but she stuck a flash drive in so that she could copy the file.
And try and breach in this computer and whatever network it was connected to as well. ]
▶ CHECKPOINT ONE.SAV
. . . CONTINUING TOUR.EXE. . .
[ There are no difficulties in putting in the flash drive or retrieving the file; it copies over easily enough. However, as soon as Aura attempts to access the network, the lights flicker out.
A few scant moments later, they flicker back on as if nothing had happened --
But it seems all of the technicians are now gone, leaving the ladies in an empty room, terminals still lit up from where they had been working. ]
no subject
W...what just happened? Where did everyone go? Miss Blackquill, did you press any weird buttons?
[ Did you delete everyone, Aura. ]
