Seventh Interlude - Part Nine

Brock proceeds along the corridor as it turns to the left, arriving shortly at another glass wall. There's no keypad by this one, but the wall slips away as he approaches. The walls beyond are painted red, which he finds odd, but he continues nonetheless. When the glass slides back into place he hears a female voice speak.

“Welcome to phase one: Decontamination,” it says, “Please remove all articles of clothing, jewellery as well as any personal objects. All articles should be placed in the receptacle provided.”

As the voice finishes, a draw slides effortlessly out of the wall. Brock looks around, trying to find the source of the voice, but he can't see a speaker anywhere. He starts to continue walking when a third glass wall slides into place ahead of him.


“Alert,” the voice declares, “Decontamination Incomplete.”
