After Dr. Welsh finishes her examinations you find Mr. Benson waiting in the infirmary’s waiting room.
“Well now, that wasn’t too bad was it? Next we have to get you entered into the computer system so you can gain access to this facility. Follow me please.” He says and then leads you down a hallway. Coming to a door he looks at a panel next to it and states his name, after a second the door slides open. You enter what looks to be a control room, you see several technicians at work.
“This is the base’s control and monitoring room, we monitor all communications and the base functions from this room.” Benson explains. “And this is Alice.” He says pointing to a bank of video monitors and controls. “She is a very sophisticated AI computer that is tied into all functions of this base, including the security systems. We use several methods of identification as you probably already noticed. Voice, handprint and retinal scan for the most part. Since some of you have secret identities we understand that you would not want to use your fingerprints for identification. So we will use voice and retinal scans, unless you worked in high security government areas it is doubtful anyone can identify your civilian ID through your retinal scan.” He explains. “So if you have no questions please stand here and look at the monitor then state your name and read the statement on the monitor.” Benson says pointing out the spot on the floor and the monitor.
As each of you step up and read the statement on the monitor you hear a female voice. “Voice and retinal pattern recorded, next please.” After each of you have recorded your voice and retinal pattern Mr. Benson leads you from the room.
“Now I will give you a quick tour of the base.” He says and leads you down a hallway. Benson takes you around the base showing you a fully equipped gym with a pool, infirmary (parts of which you have already seen), laboratory, and a dock still under construction. He ends the tour when you enter a large room. Because of the patterns on all the surfaces of the room it is difficult to determine the exact dimensions of the room. Already inside the room is a man dressed in a costume with a young girl of perhaps 12 years old.
“And this is our combat simulator, it uses holographic projectors and energy fields to simulate any environment or place.” Benson explains as he leads you up to the other two people in the room. “And these are two other members of our group. I would like you to meet Geomancer and Une.” Benson introduces the man and girl in turn.
