[M15] ENEMY: UNKNOWN - THE INTERVIEW



On opening their eyes, Voidtreckers will feel a sense of disorientation, a dizziness to their vision and inside their head. Both clear quickly, letting them remember where they came from: in the midst of a mission, some unknown entity jumping them, and then —

They're here. Wherever here is.

They stand in an empty room. The lighting of the room stings their eyes after how dark the rest of the station has been. The walls, ceiling and floor are all bright white, tiles. There is no visible door, no windows.

After the disorientation comes fear. The hairs on the back of their neck stand up. For those with danger sense, these senses are going haywire, even though any other abilities are still not working. The feeling can be pushed down, it is similar to the air of expectation at the start of a horror film, the anticipation of fear rather than being in a truly dangerous situation. It might be that they have been on the train long enough to have felt it before.

Heavy footsteps sound, it is almost impossible to tell where they are coming from as the echo through the empty space. The feeling of dread grows until part of the far wall slides open with a mechanical hiss.

Filling the doorway are two huge figures, around seven foot tall and bulky. They are in large metal suits, almost like power armour, black with highlights of gold. They wear a mask that covers their whole face. It is impossible to see the figure inside at all. Their breathing comes through heavy and raspy and when they walk their footsteps are heavy. The door closes behind them and their presence makes the room feel smaller. One of them scans a green light over the voidtrecker.

"Do not be alarmed. Under sections ninety six of Inter-dimensional law and on behalf of the Void Ministry we have intercepted Voidcraft designation Voidtrecker Express as part of ongoing investigations. You have been taking part in a simulated excercise to gauge your skill and strength. No harm shall come to you or your crew, you are protected by inter dimensional law. You have been chosen for questioning and we ask that you comply. You have the right to refuse our interview but we have the right to hold you until our investigation is complete or one week in standard void time has passed, whichever is longest. Complying with us will ensure our investigation is more efficient."

The inspector talking pauses here, as if giving the voidtrecker time to take in that information.

"Do you accept our interview?"

At least it's something...

[Masumi heads over to the table to poke at the rations, wrinkling her nose slightly as she realizes that yes, it really is pretty much just nutrigoo. Deciding she's not hungry right now, she turns to face Jake again.]

So how'd it go for you?

They had my name and age, but nothing else about me. Wanted to know if I thought what the train was doing was right, and why it was doing it.

I warned them about the worlds being erased, because that kinda seems like a huge thing, right? And that I didn't like being dragged away from my life, but you're all good people and if we want to make this work, let's do it.

I mentioned the train's homeworld being erased too, but I don't know if they believed me since they asked if I had any symptoms of voidsickness after that. They also asked about the fake Diagad and what happened there, and if I was willfully with the train.

I hope this turns out alright, since the train seems to think it won't be good if we're caught. I know I didn't like how they kept trying to reassure me or something, that felt a bit manipulative.

[There's not much she can do about it now though, besides wait in this room until they're done.]

...so they think we're delusional. Which is. Not great.

But that's what was going on? They were messing with our emotions? Okay, super don't like that.

I think so? There was a feeling of dread when they came in, but it went away after I agreed to do the interview. There were also a few points where I felt calmer or reassured for no clear reason, so I'm assuming they were doing that.

I really don't know how I feel about that, especially in an interview.
