Welcome Letters
(F.A.Q. Coming soon.)
Welcome to the Island!
This document is intended to serve as a "welcome tour" to life on the island. It contains information that is critical to the island´s day to day operations and to your own survival.
First is your duplex. This is your home, you have probably found the access code on your dresser, please note your duplex number. Take care of it, there is no regular cleaning service here. Note the intercom, dialing zero will get you an operator at the labs, you may request personal items for your comfort. Nearly any reasonable request will be honored
except communication gear. Dial # + (a duplex number) to call another duplex.
Beyond your duplex is the village proper, the village center contains the cafeteria, it serves hot food three times a day but is always open for snacks. There is also an entertainment room with a vast library.
However the most important aspect of the island are the residents of the village. Pleased do not be alarmed by their strange appearances, these people are human beings and do not appreciate being gawked at. They are all the (mostly unwilling) subjects of Dr. Moreau’s experiments that fuse normal humans with animal DNA, producing an animal human hybrid. The changes are caused by a series of five injections administered by lab personnel. The first shot causes no changes. It prepares the body, probably at the molecular and cellular level. The proceeding injections induce physical changes in the body with hours of the injection. The process is incredibly painful.
The villagers are prevented from escaping by the natural remoteness of the island and chips that are implanted under the skin at the base of the neck. They enable the labs to render anyone unconscious at the touch of a button. The chip can also paralyze the subjects.
There are camera’s every where, both in the open and hidden. The villagers are observed 24 hours a day, nothing is unrecorded.
No one to date has escaped. There have been attempts.
This is the reality of the island. Anything else the staff has told you, the reason you are here, is a lie. No one has left the island in over a year and everyone who stays within a duplex is a subject. I’m am sorry but this includes you.
Sincerely,
Richard Harrison, Resident of Duplex #70
P.S. If you have the misfortune of witnessing someone undergoing a transfromation it is VERY important you DO NOT approach them until after the transformation. The pain makes it very difficult to distiguish friend from foe and they might injure you in their confusion. Stay calm and rational.
