Welp now that no one is currently dying we really should go find like food and stuff cause we haven't done that. Maybe I should go do something about that, well when in doubt wonder off in a random direction that no one else is going. Which means that hallway without any doors but several holes. And down the hall I go, there's bound to be something here. And sometimes I'm right, there's a dip in the wall. I use my knife to tear the wallpaper around it and there's a door like expected. It's missing the handle, but I use the hole it's supposed to be in to shift the door and it begins to open. Of course, just my luck that it leads to another hallway, though at the end of it is three different paths. I can go forward, left, or right. The right looks to wind around to somewhere else while the left is short with a door at the end. The way forward turns to left after a bit, I'm guessing the hall goes around whatever is connected to the door on the left. Well, might as well start at the dead end.
This door still has its handle and thankfully isn't lock like most doors so far seem to be. Though once again I'm in a hallway, not a dead end then. But this hall goes directly to the right and since I'm here I might as well follow it. The hallway seems to pass through the hallway the forward path had made. But that makes no sense unless it was actually a staircase, but even then that would have to be an incredibly steep staircase and it would most certainly not be up to building regulations. Something is terribly wrong with this place, other than it being housed in a void that apparently likes to go solid and intangible randomly. But regardless of the creepy building that seems to defy physics and the space-time continuum, we still need to find supplies if we want to survive long enough to get out of here.
Going down the hallway there's a door on my right, it's where the hallway in the other path would have led. I wonder if I open this door I will see that hallway? Only one way to find out. I open the door and rather than another hallway there's a small room with only a desk, chair, and computer. The computer is incredibly high tech and I don't think it was from the future with how it looks. It feels out of place in here, everything so far looks like it came from the 1950's, so what is a futuristic computer doing here? I move forward and turn it on. When it finishes booting up it seems to run some sort of program on its own. I guess it was set to turn on at startup.
The program boots up and I person appears on the screen. Their eyes are closed while the bar at the bottom loads up. When it finishes the person opens their eyes and looks right at me and speaks, "Hello! I'm Mirror, it's a pleasure to meet you #IO2288."
What. The. FUCK! "How do you know my model number? Who the hell are you?"
'Mirror' smiles and tilts their head to the side, "I'm an AI known as Mirror. My creator had programmed me with the knowledge of you and the six others that have woken up here. I was designed to assist you seven in your test. I'm sort of like a walkthrough, though I not going to be that helpful," Mirror's voice is light and playfully. Accompanied by a giggle, it makes me feel whoever designed them was trying to hard to make them seem happy and welcoming. Mirror continues to speak, "Though I don't think anyone wants to repeat themselves so if you want to learn much of anything from me you're going to need to get the others. But I can tell you at the very least where the hallways split if you went right instead of left you'd find a kitchen area and it would still be stocked with food since this building realizes it's no longer empty. Goodbye for now," Mirror turns themself and the computer off before I can ask them to explain what they meant but the building knowing there are people inside thus having the kitchen being stocked. I would try turning them back on to ask, but I don't know how long the others have gone without food so that takes priority. I leave the room and go back through the halls to where Mirror had said the kitchen is.
There are several doors in this hall. And though I sort of expected something like this, it's still strange to see there's a kitchen knife carved into one of the doors. And opening it proves that this one is the kitchen Mirror had mentioned. I go through and check the food to make sure it wasn't actually expired. And long and behold all of it is fresh. I pick up an apple and scan it.
[IO2288] analyzing object . . . 80% water, 10% carbohydrates, 4% vitamins and minerals. contains about 40 calories. contains traces of cyanide in the core.
[IO2288] analyzes complete . . . object falls under the label of "apple"
So that proves it's also real, not some fake plastic or manipulated material. So it's probably safe for consumption. I bring it with me as I head back to the others. Walking in, I throw the apple into the air, "I do believe I've found something," catching the apple in one hand as I finish the statement.
