Whatever their choice, after their conversation they will find a panel behind them slide open, and they are gestured through. They find themselves in a larger room, still brightly lit with white tiles on the floor, ceiling and walls. Three of the walls are blank tiles.
On the fourth wall there are a series of screens and these show slightly grainy footage of the space station, of their friends still searching, fighting and hiding from the invisible enemies that stalk them. The screens have no sound and sometimes flicker out in static. Their SCA's don't seem to be working past basic life support functions. They have no access to comms or any maps or even their mission briefing or torch.
The room is sparse. There is a row of seating next to the wall of screens. Against one of the other walls there is a metal bench with a sink next to it. On it is a kettle and microwave as well as a box of rations that can be prepared using those, some plates and mugs and a tub of cutlery. In the centre of the room is a table and in the corner a stack of foldaway camp beds. They have been given their equipment, though not their weapons so sleeping bags should not be an issue.
The door they came from is not visible at all but there is a door next to the sleeping area that leads to a small but clean bathroom.
Whether they are brought here one the first, second or third day they are not alone and there's not much to do except sit and watch the screens, or try and distract each other from that.
