THE FINALE - 【 ZERO 】 ESCAPE

[vivariummods]

It's been ten days since the so-called "anniversary" on Day 90. Every single trace of a makeshift casino has been cleared out, leaving this suspiciously identical second warehouse empty (and the doors within that lobby locked), and Calhoun has mysteriously stopped dropping by as often as he should have. In the rare times he did drop by, he hemmed and hawed about what was happening and outright avoided answering any questions, shrieking that he's a busy mouse and he shouldn't be harassed by test subjects. Thus, for nine whole days, not a single particular event has occurred. No Calhoun Hours, Ambidex Games, or even a little announcement. It's not until the morning of the tenth day that something finally transpired. A loud siren goes off and the sound of a heavy door being slid open echoes from the second warehouse's lobby. Within seconds, however, both nuances cease and silence returns...

"Well...I could do that now." It would certainly be a distraction from wanting to pulverize Rio.

"What do you want to know?"

"Well... how'd ya wake up here? What happened? And what're the other rooms like? I guess that's as good a start as any."

He was curious about the goat...

"If you're talking about how we all originally started here, we all woke up together with broken bracelets on our wrists and we were all cut and bruised. There were weapons everywhere, so I don't know if we were fighting each other and then passed out and lost our memories? I don't really know."

Heiji considered this for a moment. "Did you have a sense of whether the wounds were defensive or not? 'Cause that'd be a good way to tell if you were defending yourselves against someone else. Either way, it's not beyond Zero to have knocked you guys all out at once. And taken your memories while he was at it."

"They seemed to be both. We were bruised and a little bloody, so it was kind of hard to tell. No injuries that were so bad we weren't ambulatory. I don't know how he took the memories." She frowned and chewed on a lip. "Amnesia is a common side effect with a concussion but no one seemed to be suffering from that, as much as I could tell."

Apparently Maria has more than passing knowledge of things first aid. She did suspect she might be a doctor or at the very least, a paramedic.
