3:00pm
I'm still in a daze... what time is it? What day? What year? My body is soooo sore... sleep... must get some soon... no wait. My dad always told me that the best folk are the ones who work until they cannot work anymore... I can still work... afterall...
Must find my boss 247 to get my next assignment... all the crates have finally been moved into Sublevel Z... Z? Wait a sec... there is no Sublevel Z... or is there? *BONK* Ow. My head... What is this?
Door.
Office of 247 the sign reads. I reach for the door knob and turn it. The door opens.
Empty.
I wonder where the boss is? His computer screen is flashing... like that one epileptic episode of Pokemin. My head is spinning.
Screaming.
247? Is that you? Must be a party... I hear a loud thump. Machinery whirring and spinning. Faster and faster until...
BOOM.
The whole facility started shaking. I'm back in the hall... gotta find the boss. Feel kinda nauseous... speaking of food.
Passing by the lunch room. "Wow! Big claw--"
More screaming.
That must be one killer breakfast pastry for him to yell like that. Reminds me of those Urban Essences commercials where that lady freaks out cause she loves her shampoo so much ... I never quite understood that one. sweatdrop
Bright flash of light.
Can't see a thing... too bright... I think I'm blind ... but I can hear still. "The sun god has returned. NO! It can't be! An eclipse!!!"
More screaming.
When my sight returns, I'm standing in front of 403's desk. A few strands of her hair are on the keyboard. Strange. Must find the boss... passing by the crew quarters ... or maybe I should take a nap ... that sounds good.
Bed.
I go lie down and try to shut my eyes. Nodding off...
BOOM.
OMG... what is it now? I go check out what the noise was. It's coming from 138's room. I try the knob and the door swings open into--
Nothing.
The floor was missing... all I could see was a big chasm where the floor used to be. Strange... I guess the noise isn't coming from here.
BOOM.
Or is it? I definitely heard it again...
BOOM.
Below me. How strange... I can't see anything.
Screaming.
Will everyone just shut up?! Gah! I can't take anymore of these high pitched noises... my head hurts.
Silence.
Thank you. I hear whispering... a very zen-like voice. "I am ready" it says.
Screaming.
Definitely not ready for whatever that was. What's going on here? Why is everyone SCREAMING? Maybe I should head to security. Maybe they can get everyone to shut up... I knock on the door. gonk
Silence.
No answer. Try again. No good. Ok, this is getting annoying. What kind of security do we have around here? I peak in the window. Two shadows. Holding hands. Big shadow!
Screaming.
Darn it! Migraine! Will somebody help me out here?! Maybe 909 can help me. He's always drinking coffee... maybe that's what I need. I make my way to the cubicle area and open the door. I get to 909's cubicle and...
Empty.
All over the wall, in what appears to be a dark red paint, spells out two words:
"On Vacation"
Very messy handwriting. I know I shouldn't talk cause my handwriting looks like chicken scratch, but this handwriting was pretty bad. It almost looks like it was sprayed or splattered onto the walls using a swiping motion... like those handwritten prescriptions you get from your doctor when you need to pick up medicine. I could never read those and I don't understand how a pharmacist could either... oh well. I guess 909 is on vacation. Just my luck. I turn to the cubicle next to him hoping to find some coffee. 319. Her cube is also empty... I guess that means she's on vacation too. sweatdrop
Uncle.
Maybe 062 can help me. My daddy used to tell me that whenever I needed help with anything that I should go to uncle 062. He can fix ANYTHING. He's also one of those folk who is always working. My daddy told me that a person like uncle 062 is someone to be respected and admired. I wish I could be like him one day! I head over to his office and knock on the door.
Silence.
No answer. Where are you uncle 062? I'm desperate now... I bash the door in. UNCLE!!! I NEED YOUR HELP!! gonk
"I'm sorry."
At least that's what the messy red paint handwriting says. I guess uncle knew I was coming and left me a note. I understand. He's always so busy. I never even got to thank him for getting me this job...Well, I guess I should look for the boss again. Must stay strong like uncle.
BOOM. BOOM. BOOM.
I didn't see anyone. I found a trail of vegie rollup wrappers and decided to follow them. Perhaps food will keep my energy up. I don't feel nauseous anymore anyways... just dizzy. whee
KABOOM!
An explosion?! It came from the special projects section of the facility near the water mains! The entire floor flooded and I was washed away. On the crest of the wave there was a shredded gift box that had a small charred/blackened label that read "A present for EflTech404! Merry Christmas!" I wonder what an Efl-Tech is? The water eventually drained away as I was pushed into the next floor. Into the lower levels of the facility I think.
"-69! I...LO--"
At least that's what I heard. Man, that sounded really angsty whoever that was. sweatdrop
KABOOM.
An explosion. The whole facility was shaking. The alarms suddenly started going off. eek
"WARNING. CORE BREACH IMMINENT IN POWER RELAY SYSTEM. PLEASE EVACUATE THE FACILITY."
Oh no... that's sounds bad. I gotta get out of here... but there's no way I can get out of the facility. And even if I did, I don't even know where I am!
BOOM.
The facility was shaking. I got knocked over really hard. Just my luck! I found a single card from the Amazing Elf's card deck! HOW AWESOME! The Amazing Elf would know what to do! He can totally make us disappear or maybe even walk through the walls to get us out! But he's no where to be found. No one is here. I'm all alone.
BOOM.
The wall caved in. I'm trapped here. I'm so alone.
"WARNING. THIS FACILITY WILL SELF DESTRUCT IN T-MINUS 9...8...7"
A ball. Made of rubber bands. The cute girl... I wonder if she made it out of here...
A note.
It says, "101. Hold onto this. Your friend, 003." heart
It was at that moment that I realized that, despite everything coming to an end, I truly do LOVE WORKING IN A SECRET ARCTIC TEST FACI--
We regret to inform you that the journal of ElfTech101 has been sealed due to a security compromise. Please do not attempt to contact him through this address any further. Thank you for your cooperation.
