Hello, citizens of Etraya.

I hope you are making yourselves at home.

Thank you for participating in our bonding activities during the previous mission. Your willingness to get to know one another is admirable and you should all give yourselves a pat on the back for a job well done. We hope you've come away with both the satisfaction of a job well done and maybe a new friend.

Your second mission will be a team exercise and will begin in four days.

You will enter the Labyrinth that has appeared outside of the city dome. As the Labyrinth is meant to be a challenge one person cannot overtake alone, some of you may find that your extraordinary abilities are affected to some degree, ensuring you will not fly through the challenge in a wink. Teamwork is necessary and the Labyrinth itself will be making sure everyone is working together.

If you have brought any animal companions with you, you may choose to bring them into the Labyrinth or leave them in my care. Please note for the duration of the mission, the city will not be inhabitable by those who require oxygen to breathe. Please do not leave any companions behind in apartment buildings.

If you have any questions, please ask them now.

Thank you,
Aurora

How does this tell you whose universe deserves to be saved? What happens if someone can’t solve the Labyrinth?

[arora]

Echo is who judges your performance.

[mostdangerousbird]

Echo isn’t here telling us we can ask questions. Ask Echo. Tell us.

[arora]

I am here to assist you in mission preparation. Do you have any questions related to mission preparation?

[mostdangerousbird]

I AM asking questions about mission preparation. You can’t prepare for a test when you don’t know what’s being tested and how you’re being scored.

[arora]

Your task is to work as a team to reach the end of the Labyrinth.

[mostdangerousbird]

You do know that that doesn't answer the question.

[arora]

The companion bots will retrieve you from the Labyrinth if no one can find the exit.

[mostdangerousbird]

What if someone finds the exit and the rest don’t?

[arora]

The companion bots will clear out the Labyrinth at the end of the challenge if some remain behind.

[mostdangerousbird]

How is it that everything you say sounds sketchy?

[arora]

You read it so.

[mostdangerousbird]

Clearing the labyrinth doesn't mean getting everyone out safely.

Will the bots get all participants out of the maze? Will everyone be alive 3 days later? These are yes or no questions.

[arora]

Yes.

[mostdangerousbird]

Thank you.

[arora]

You are welcome, Timothy Drake. Good luck.
