Post Trial 3.3 》 Fo(u)resight.
Everything around you is bathed in red, a low rumbling shaking beneath your feet as the sounds of static noise from the overhead PA system fill your ears.
Turning back to look at the screen where the Conductor once sat, you find it the image of incomprehensible static, yet his voice can be heard through the noise -
"-- is -- ... th-- ... shit-... et.. ou-!"
It's enough to freeze you on the spot, but after a few muffled noises coming from the iPad the Conductor appears once more.
"I SAID GET OUT."
Whether you make your panicked break towards the exit or not a soft -
TICK.
Slices through the chaos and you find yourself back in the hallway of Car 7, the abrupt silence making the ringing in your ears all the more prominent.
As you regain your bearings, that harsh, mechanical voice over the speakers declares:
"Due to an unforeseen error, correctional action must be taken. For your safety, passengers are asked to proceed in a single file line. Due to an unforeseen error, correctional action must be taken. For your safety, passengers are asked to proceed in a single file line. Due to an unforeseen error, correctional action must-"
A repeating suggestion that sounds more like a cold command, you have little choice but to do as it says. As the announcement fades away as you distance yourself from Car 7, you get the sense that something has shifted.
10 passengers remain.
