Chapter TextChapter 3: Intermission: Give Commands
The ruins of a city skyline can be made out in the distance, over the dunes of a desert. A wayward vagabond records a stuttering step in the sun-bleached dust. WV is wrapped in dusty gray fabric, leaving only a small swath of black uncovered.
WV finds something strange and confusing. A white half-circle sticks out of the edge of a dune. A black hand with four fingers brushes away the sand to reveal a green spirograph.
An unsealed tunnel welcomes hot desert air into its stagnant depths. Sunlight flows down the rungs set into the side of the circular tunnel, lighting up a yellow substance on the tiled floor below. Through the doorway at the bottom is a gray and purple room. Cables hang in loops from the ceiling. Purple, boxy apparatuses with a familiar logo rest against the righthand wall.
On the lefthand wall is a strange viewing machine in the shape of a house, chimney on the roof and all. The base of the house is divided into four screens, but only the one in the upper right corner is on. There is a keyboard but no mouse. The caps lock key is lit.
Four-clawed hands begin to type.
