[M15] ENEMY: UNKNOWN - THE INTERVIEW

[voidmissions]

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?"

Comments

"Is that what you consider yourself and the crew of voidcraft designation Voidtrecker Express: a marching army?"

Their voices were low, neutral as ever.

[hoardsrealestate]

"I did not say that. It is merely the information that is most relevant for me to learn."

[voidtreckernpcs]

"Understood." A small pause. "What was it that you wished to learn in that place? What were the trainings that you focused on?"

[hoardsrealestate]

"Sticking to questions about my position and the organization I take part in and leaving more personal inquiries to others designated and qualified. You should try it sometime."

[voidtreckernpcs]

They seemed to ignore his comments entirely, not moving or showing any indication that they had even heard him.

"Did you take part in the mission on the unnumbered system, against the entity many have named Chaos?"

[hoardsrealestate]

"That sounds quite beneath me," he drawls.

[voidtreckernpcs]

"You were not part of that mission? Do you often choose not to take part in the missions your Voidcraft sends you on?"
