Michael's pov:

"Great, that concludes your tasks for the day. Please proceed to the elevator and return to the dorm section of the sight." My head snapped over to the Handunit. That couldn't be right-

"Wait, I'm suppose to go home-" I said, feeling dread wash over me. But the Handunit didn't respond. Only a cyan dot appearing in the room I walked through to get back. I felt my heart sink... how long would this go on? When could I get home? Feeling crushed, I reluctantly walked back. Towards the vent that led to the elevator. Apperantly the hallway was a small part of the room cut off, and the vent led to the elevator.. I crawled through, using Handunit's light to get through. 

When I got through, I found that the elevator returned back down. As I walked through, I heard a dull female's voice, probably something like Handunit. "Motion trigger, entrance vent. Technician controls." And the vent slid open. I crawled into the elevator, getting up. Thankfully the fact I was actually wearing pants now, crawling through the vents didn't hurt. 

The elevator's doors closed, seeming already knowing where to go. But to my surprise, the elevator didn't go up it went down.. Just how deep did this place go? Father... what were you doing down here? 

I looked at the floor, seeing this one glowed blue. How many tasks did I have to complete? Was this like it was at school? I had a set amount of things to do, and the better I did the sooner I got out.. I was hoping so, it's the only idea I had. And I really wanted to go home.. I had to make things right..

The elevator coming to a stop drew me out of my thoughts, the doors sliding open to reveal a hallway. Lights flickering on to lead down. I followed them down, to a see a bunch of numbered rooms. Handunit spoke up from in my hand. "Please enter room 10. And do not disturb your fellow co-worker's rooms." I looked at the room doors curiously. Was there anyone else here? Why haven't I seen or heard them yet? But... it might be late, I'll check that later I guess. 

I found the door labeled 10, and stepped in. It was nothing like home... the walls a dull gray, a bed pushed into the corner... the sheets and blankets a pure white.. A small desk and what looks like a rickety chair in the other corner. Posters of different animatronics I never seen before plastered onto the walls. I noticed a black thing hanging off the chair. 

Walking over, I saw it was a weird strap like thing Mum used to use for Evan and Elizabeth when they were babies. "Handunit? What's that?" I asked.

It took a second but replied. "That is a strap, meant to be put on the chest area to carry your Handunit Module." Okay... that helps me on not having to carry it all the time. I needed to remember to grab a flashlight tomorrow. Even though I wasn't tired, I climbed onto the bed. The sheets scratchy and thin underneath me. Hopefully I can get out tomorrow.
