You arrive at a room, seemingly untouched since the day the earth got dusted. "Welcome, President Tyrus, to your new home for the foreseeable future, would you like a cigar? Maybe a film?" A robotic voice asks. |

President Tyrus? Have I heard that name before? Regardless...
"Yes. I'll take a Land of Smiles brand cigar and put on some music... how about Bach's Air on the G-String?" Fitting, considering the encounter I just had.

"Of course! Serving one right up, President Tyrus!" A small podium rises beside a fireplace, holding a cigar, the fireplace lights and music starts playing. |

I pocket the cigar, lay down on the bed, and wait for the music to lull me to sleep.

"Secret service..." Does he mean the crew on the shuttle that brought me here? "Sure... go ahead and check."

A monitor slowly lowers above the fireplace, showing a man in power armor trudging down the hallway, some kind of rifle in tow. |

This gives me a bad feeling. Lockdown time.
