OOC: Contain and Neutralize

[Dragonfruit]

Only for people who expressed interest

>THEME MUSIC<

You stand in front of a large building. Above it's doors it says "Cannon Banking Industries." A shudder runs up and down your spine. You know what really goes on behind the closed doors. Below the bank lies the entrance to possibly the biggest nightmare you have ever known. Taking a deep breath, you walk through the doors and to the elevator. As you press the button, you see other people standing by, waiting. You catch the eye of one of them, who nods in acknowledgment. You instantly know that they are here for the same purpose as you. They are joining the ranks of CAN. Just as you are.

After waiting for the elevator, and catching it to the bottom floor, you exit with the others. Most of them walk past the innocuous steel door to their left. Reluctantly, the few standing by you step forward, one at a time. They place their hand in the nearby scanner one at a time, and the door opens for each of them, for exactly 3 seconds. Finally it is your turn. You place your hand on the scanner for the first time, and hopefully not the last.

As you go down the large expansive hallway, you suddenly feel dizzy. Looking around, the is no one else around. There should at least be people in front of you, or even behind. You continue forward, clutching your head. Finally, the odd sensation stops, and you find yourself in a giant circular room. Giant isn't the proper word to use. It is the largest room you have ever seen, with doors upon doors leading from it. A large desk sits in front of you, with ten people fastidiously working behind it. You step up, and a girl looks you over and says in a bored and well rehearsed voice.
"If you are here for the scientific studies program, take door 221. For Curios take door 33. Extermination, door 4452. Fire squad, 664. Apprehension squad, door 5413. Or if you are escorting class D personnel, please make your way to door 2. Any other inquiries, please line up and ask."

Sighing, you head off into the gigantic room, with people running, walking, and moving everywhere. Some wear hazmat suits, others wear anything from T-shirt to formal suits. You see a line of people in chains and orange jumpsuits being led to door 2. You hurry down the hallway to door 5413.

Scanning your hand again, you enter into the doorway. As you walk down the cold steel hallway, you pass a number of other doors. Some are quite large, others remarkably small. Above each of them is a number, and what appears to be a naming convention. You stop to look at one.
SPECIMEN 47479
'The metalman'
You jump as you hear a gigantic slam from the other side of the door. You look around, and figure to continue down the hallway. As you pass more doors, you hear a variety of sounds coming from behind them. Shrieks, squeals, scratches, moans, giggling, laughing...eventually you end up at what appears to be a briefing room. A small number of people are seated in front of you. A tall well dressed man with slicked black hair standing in front of them gestures to you to sit down.

As you sit, he launches into a speech.
"Welcome. None of you will know who I am, but rest assured I know all of you. You see, we have spoken in the past. And I am the person who personally delivered your...'care package'...to you."
You remember the parcel you had received, with very specific instructions. He man continued.
"I am Dr. Holdings. Quite an ironic name for what I do around here. As you know, you are now a part of CAN, the Center for Abnormal Naturalities. And you, my fair friends, will be Apprehension Squad Sigma. Our division deals with the...'acquisition'...of key items and...how should we say, peculiar individualized species. It will be your job to go out there and catch what lay people call supernatural creatures. We know better. Be it actual aliens, genetic mutation, radiation overload, etc, you will contain it alive, and bring it back here for holding."
You swallow deeply. You know this is not going to be a job like any other...

Just as you think he has concluded, he adds one final footnote.
"Oh, and just so you know, after each assignment, and before you can leave these halls after assignment, you will be subjected to a full body scan, etc. And should you prove to be contaminated with something, you will be kept in the holding cells. In the advent it does not get better, we will exterminate you. And trust me, that is much better than the alternative can be..."
