Murderworld 2012

The sound of spotlights coming on could be heard, and the darkness that had embraced the people within the room had disappeared. Instead, they were on what looked like an elaborate stage... something out of a reality TV show like the Bachelor. As if things could not get stranger, a large, 65" LED TV came to life, showing a young woman in a white jacket, green shirt, and a horrible yellow and orange polka dot tie.

"Ah! Our lovely contestants have woken up! Welcome, welcome one and all to Murderworld 2012!" The neuro-implants in the sides of her eyes began to glow a bright green in color, and her face had a large smile upon it. "These contestants were carefully selected to take part in the most fun, and dangerous version of Murderworld yet! Winners get to live, if we have any winners, that is. And the losers? Well, they get to die horribly painful and elaborate deaths!"

As Mira floated towards the door, the alarms continued to blare, and all the lights in the shuttle began to flash. With the lack of gravity, it was even more disorienting. As her hands touched the door, she could tell there was a problem. It was sealed shut.

She hit the door once and scowled turning to look for another way deeper into the station. Seeing a vent she jumped for it, shaking the feeling of knowing how this movie ends. No way was she going to get herself killed this early in the game. Not when she and Vincent were officially kind of sort of more than just hanging out buddies.

Pulling the cover of the vent loose she peeked in carefully at first to see if it was clear.

The cover to the vent came off easily, and showed there was nothing inside it. But as Mira traveled through the vent, she could see other rooms in the "Space World" area. Most of the areas had floating bodies of Tech-Sync employees. Their bodies showed no signs of trauma, which was frightening. It means all the air could have been sucked out of the rooms they were in and they suffocated... or poison was pumped in, anything could have happened to them! But it was best not to dwell on it for now.

The more Mira traveled through the vent, the sound of the alarm appeared to fade. Lasts he heard, there was only two minutes left.

She didn't stop to dwell, right now getting out of there was more important. Getting to the end of the vent she pushed at the grate hoping to drop down in a hanger or even a room with escape pods.

"Well so far so good," Because she still was unarmed and usually movies would throw something horrible at someone on their own. She's hoping that's not the case.

Once the vent was pushed to the ground and Mira jumped out, she found herself in what looked like a lab. It had glowing green canisters with what appeared to be bodies inside of them. It looked like something out of a horror film in space.

And just as she suspected, something horrible did happen! Two creatures broke in through a wall on the left side of the lab. Not just any creatures... the Brood. They hissed and made a charge for Mira, displaying their sharp fangs in all their hideous glory.

Mira had been glancing at the containers while looking on the tables for some sort of weapon. Her back was turned to the Brood as they broke in, though the wall breaking had her turn instantly.

"Great, should have guessed alien outposts have to have some alien thing right? Guessing you guys aren't friendly?" She didn't want to stick around to find out, scrambling onto the table she looked for the door, bolting for it. "Where's my bike when I need it!"

The Brood roared at Mira as it lunched at her with it's razor sharp teeth. It missed her and went flying across the room, while the other tried to block her path. He began to swish it's tail back and forth, like an agitated cat, before using it to strike at it's prey.

As she made her way to the door, it locked behind her, leaving the Brood trapped in that room, and the other lab they broke out of. You could hear them clawing at the door and trying to get out. But they had become the least of her problems.

The dead Tech-Sync employees appeared to have... reanimated. Well, they were actually zombie like creatures it appeared. Part of the Murderworld Experience. But they were not regular zombies, not in the least. They had mechanical parts controlling their bodies and re-animating them, like puppets!

On the bright side, they had all left the lab that Mira saw earlier! If only she could get back to there...

Mira had backed away from the door and glanced over hearing the sound of someone in the hall. Seeing the... Well for lack of a better word, zombies, she groaned.

"Out of Aliens into Resident Evil... Where's a Redfield when you need one." Though the door behind them was open...

Mira grinned slightly as she watched how they lurched, slow ones, she might be able to make it... The tech ran for the doors.

Mira easily made her way past the zombie horde, finding herself in the lab that they all had come from. Inside was a tape recorder with a tape inside, as well as the key to her collar on top. There was also a diagram of the location of the Kill switch to the automatons in "Space World", and the location of the exit. Of all places, it was in the bathroom and the switch was the handle on one of the toilets.

She picked up the tape recorder turning on the tape listening to it while she picked up the key and diagram. Looking at it she memorized the directions.

"If this dumps me into an ocean somewhere I quit, so totally quit."

The tape began to play. It sounded like a therapy session...

"How are you feeling, today?"

"My head still hurts, and it feels difficult to talk..." That voice... it sounded like the girl who helped kill those vampires and the one who called herself "Arcade".

"It will take a few days before the neurological implants begin to help regulate your speech patterns to normal. Your accent may come and go for a while as well. There is nothing to worry about."

"Nothing to worry about? I am missing part of a leg, I'm now having my brain regulated by more machinery... what happens if dis all fails, Doc? What happens to me?"

"Well... you would go back to as you were after the bullet struck you. Alistaire Shaw promised to make arrangements for you should such a thing happen, but it is highly unlikely."

"I'd rather be dead, honestly. And I refuse to have Alistaire Shaw put me anywhere! I have a living will, and named someone who would arrange such things should that happen. But honestly, I would rather be dead then not be able to defend myself."

"You sound paranoid. Why is that?"

"I have more enemies than friends. No family, nothing. If these implants fail, I would rather die then be left to Alistaire Shaw. He doesn't... love me. He would just abandon me and never see me again. I'd rather be dead than be alone somewhere, with no allies, no control of my life, and a whole bunch of people who want me to suffer. That is why I wrote a living will, declaring that Ryan..."

The tape cut out after that.

She paused, the player in hand. She didn't even know the man, but wanted to deck him for Alisa. Shaking her head she tried the key to the collar, no use dragging that weight around. scooping up the rest of the stuff she stood at the door a moment, wishing she had her bike again, because screaming down the halls on it would be better than dealing with trying to avoid being bitten right?

The zombies were still moving at a painfully slow pace, and the Brood was still trying to escape the room Mira had trapped them in. A good twenty feet away was a sign outside of a door that said "Bathroom". She was close to getting out of here!

But like everyone else in Murderworld, Mira would have to act fast! The Brood finally broke the door down to the lab she had trapped them in, and started to advance on her, crushing some of the zombies in their path.

She saw the few get stepped on and bolted for the bathroom doors praying they weren't locked. She probably added that she'd start going to church on Sundays if it would help as she neared the door.

The bathroom was not locked and Mira made it in time! As soon as she got in, the door sealed shut behind her. Now all she had to do was hit the kill switch and she was out of there!

She leaned against the door for a moment to catch her breath, making a mental note to start working out more with her team before she moved to find the switch listening for the countdown.

She found it hitting the switch clutching the tape recorder close as she did. It was probably something important.

The automatons of the zombies and Brood collapsed on the floor, no longer moving. They were no longer active or a threat. The mirrors by Mira parted, showing a doorway that lead to a hall. The words "Cowboy World" written on the wall in front of her, and "Space World" Written on the wall where she was coming out of.
