CALHOUN HOUR - CHOICE





It has been two and a half days since the end of the virus takeover. The power, lights, and heating has been turned back on. All the newer areas have been sealed, BP is once again required in certain rooms, and it appears that everything is returning back to normal.

Asides from Calhoun.

Whether characters have chosen to give pieces of Calhoun to Zero, to hold onto them, or to destroy them, it does not matter. There has been no indications as to when he would ever be back, so there has been a robotic mouse void within the warehouse. Zero has refused to leave any information as to the status of rebuilding Calhoun, but they have left this one message for everyone shortly after the power restoration:

"While you may be left alone to your devices, do not trick yourselves into thinking that there is a way out of here, or that you can do as you please. I will always be watching."

It has been two days since Zero has left these parting words before entirely disappearing. When attempting to call for them, everyone will only be responded with silence. It's clear that they're still watching over the facility though, as any kind of rule breaking or suspicious activities would automatically be rewarded with an injection of Soporil β. True to their word, Zero is somehow monitoring the behaviors without saying a single word.

It is not until the morning of Day 72 does everyone hear again from them again, through the speakers throughout the warehouse.

"Good morning, Subjects. Today, you will be partaking in another experiment of mine. It has come to my knowledge that my assistant has been throwing these so-called "Calhoun Hours" every three days to keep everyone stimulated between his rooms. Don't assume that I will do anything similar of the sort. This activity has far more care and thought put into it than this camping nonsense, so let us begin."

"The rules are simple: every test subject will be paired up and placed against each other. The collective will then have to vote for one of the pair. The one with the fewest amount of votes will be subjective to a punishment of my choice. The one with the most amount of votes will continue their dull experimental lives until the next set of events."

"Any petty attempts of rebellion will be met with serious repercussions, so I would suggest that you rethink any sort of plans."

"Now, best of luck, Subjects. We will talk again soon."

I think I have the money, just not the shop. I'd say I never thought I'd miss Calhoun, except I don't.

So, what do you think of our overlord in absentia finally showing up to work?

I hate to say it, but I'd rather attempt cooking and playing games that I can't see rather than wade through the moral quagmire we find ourselves in. *He sat down next to her.* I don't suppose you have any particular requests for people you'd like me to vote for?

Why?

...Do what you want, it doesn't matter either way.

Oh? You're sure that there's no one you'd rather I vote for more than anyone else? *Because as cagey as he knew she could be, he knew she wasn't heartless.*

Someone's going to get hurt no matter what. For all we know, everyone's going to get hurt no matter what. So it doesn't matter what I or you or anyone wants. Either way it's someone we know and care about. ...If it were up to me, I wouldn't vote at all.
