    It was time for people frozen in capsules to be released. They would now join the real world. Slayde wasn't happy, he didn't want them to learn what had become of their very world. The world they tried so hard to protect. They probably figured they would be so technology advanced which in a sense they have but in their current state, they were deprived. Trifarious Tech Soldiers roamed the slums picking off rebellions one by one with guns and their own Watch weapons. You had to keep your cool around them to make sure you weren't suspicious enough to be shot at.

    This was Slaydes life, this is how he lived. He twirled his watch around his arm.

    He was hired by Trifarious to guard the door and make sure the new civilians would be taken into surgery right away. He knew they would be confused but he had no idea how to ease their minds. He would take them out the door and they would be greeted with death, sickness, deprivation, and the watching eyes of Trifarious Tech.

    He sighed. "You guys are gunna wish you would have died a normal death." He huffed.

    A capsule opens and a man in an orange jumpsuit falls out.
    "OW... my fakken face."

    Slayde stands with a group of instructors. He knew none of them. All he was worried about was getting a good amount of money.

    He put his pocket watch back into his pocket. He then heard the someone complain about their face.

    He looked around for a group of people to take into the slums.

    Farther down the hall, another capsule opens with a hiss. Inside, a short woman slowly wakes up from an extremely long nap. Shakily, she steps out into the hall of sleeping humans. The girl is dazed, unsure of where she is or what is going on. "Am I awake? Or is this still a dream? Oh wow, that's a really cool opening line." She slips her hand into the shirt pocket of her ruffled white dress shirt, straightening her tie with the other hand. Pulling out a glowing blue rectangle, she immediately scribbled her line into the notebook. Looking up from the notebook, she looks around the room, taking in the walls of capsules just like her's, the design of the readouts on each one, and the crap-tastic smell in the air. "This is it. I made it to the future. Wow." She slides the notebook back into her pocket, pushing some stray hairs behind her ear at the same time. Down the hall to her right there is a loud clang and shouting as another person exits from their pod.

    The area is filthy and dusty. There are lines upon lines of capsules that you can see. You can even make out footprints on the dusty floor. Its obvious the area was either abandoned or hasn't been cleaned in a while.

    "Welcome to the future." An intercom boomed. Birds started to scatter as they were scared of the sudden loud noise. Perhaps they shouldn't have made occupancy in this warehouse. "If you would please comply and head to the front of the building we will gladly show you what the future has to offer. One of our guides will take you under his wing for the short time being." the intercom then turned off. The announcers tone seemed to have been terribly boring and monotone as if they have said that a thousand times. Will you comply?

    Disoriented and confused, another short lady steps out into the large room. She yawns and runs a hand through her bright purple hair. Having caught the tail end of the announcement and understood exactly none of it, she glances around for somebody else to tell her what that was all about.
    Her eyes fall upon the entryway, and - are those people? Thank god, someone to tell her what's going on. She heads toward the front of the building. "Hey, y'all!" she begins...

    Slayde see's the short lady. He waves to her and motions her to come over with a fake smile. This would be the beginning of his group. One by one the mentors waved people down, some left with twenty people, some left with five, but Slayde wanted a lower number so he could keep track of them. Plus, her purple hair really caught his eyes too. "Over here purple! I choose you!" He laughed a bit.

    Hearing someone shout about purple, the thin girl walks over to the groups of people waiting about at one end of the room, still in awe of the grime covered room. She walked up to a man standing alone with a smile on his face, waving at the newcomers. "Hi, there. Are you, uh, going to show us what the future is like?"

    "Oh, two girls with purple hair, nice! My name is Slayde and I'll be the one to show you guys around." he pulls out a piece of paper. "Before we begin I just need to get your names and age." He looks back at the two. "Are you guys ok with this?"

    Two girls with purple hair? Turning around, the woman sees another girl, slightly younger than herself, jogging up behind her. The girl definitely had purple hair, albeit a much lighter shade and standing next to her, they happened to be the same height! Weird. Dark purple wondered if the government had started cloning before sealing everyone away, just in case some didn't make it. Turning back to the guide, the woman answered his question. "I'm Elise Marinova, age 28."

    Slayde looks at Elise Strangely. "You have two first names?" He asked. He fumbles the paper back into his pocket as he now remembers the whole speak. He waits for the other purple haired girl while he talks to Elise.

    "Well hi Slayde," light purple volunteers. "I'm Nova Wellson and-" did the other purple lady just say her name was Nova, too? "...I'm 22. Though I guess technically it's more like a thousand twenty two, right?" She chuckles at her joke.

    "Oh, no, my last name is Marinova. So, Slayde was it? Um... what's the future like? Humanity is still around, I can see. Did we ever find other life in the universe?" Elise moves her hand to push back any stray hairs. It's a practiced movement, one that she does often.

    Slayde laughs at Novas joke. "So you have two first names as well huh?" Slayde then turns to Elise. "I don't comprehend what a last name is, but I can assure you, the future is grand. As for other life, I'm not to sure sadly. I wish though. Well since I almost have good amount a people I should tell you guys, alot has changed. We are in a city called Trifaria." He pulls out the paper again. Curse his terrible memory! "Ahem," He starts again reading from the paper. A glint from a nearby camera reveals itself to the group. Slayde noticeably gets sweaty.

    "Welcome to Trifaria, Our company, Trifaria-Tech, are the peaceful controllers of this world. A lot has changed, for the better. This is the new land of opportunity. Our streets are full of life and out citizens are even livelier!" A man in a orange jumpsuit jumps into the group without saying anything @FactoringZettaShonic "If you have any questions just ask me while we start our journey. Escort group ou- Oh, I wasn't supposed to read that. Well I suppose I could take questions before we go outside." He smiled. His eyes drifted towards the camera.

    Elise takes note of the camera, and shifts her position slightly so that the girl next to her blocked the cameras view of her, or most of her. She nods in agreement when Slayde finishes his monologue. "Trifaria sounds like a city from the future. Exotic, many syllables, ends in -ria. So, Trifaria-Tech runs this city, huh? Does every major company rule over a populous in the future?" Elise doesn't like the sound of greedy overlords running a city full of people. However, it was the future. Maybe being greedy had been outlawed? Regardless, Elise decided to be a little more cautious now she knew these things.

    "Oh did I say Trifaria-Tech! I meant Trifarious-Tech, sorry." There was a reason he messed up the name. "And no, there is only one company and that is the great Trifarious-Tech. Do you guys have any more questions before we head out?" He pleaded with his eyes. They were almost trying to say sorry.

    "What kind of tech do you have, anyways?" Nova asks, more interested in that than in the other purple lady for now. As an afterthought, she adds, "What does Trifarious-Tech actually do, besides running this place?"

    "Trifarious-Tech, has created new ways of shipping items, to new ways of creating items. Everyone is new and grand! Trifarious-Tech exists for the whole purpose of serving the people of the world by making life easier. In your days you may have experienced over populated housing areas, dirty streets, and the worst poverty of your time. Trifarious-Tech has fixed this just for you!" He then winks. "Would you like to go outside now?" He asks again.

    Elise ponders this for a moment. The future did seem really advanced. But this guy was oddly nervous for someone who was sent by the company. Maybe this was his first day on the job? She considered writing some of this in her notebook, but with the camera nearby Elise didn't want to risk it. "So, Trifarious-Tech is like Amazon? They just do a bunch of shipping and stuff? How did a company like that take over the world?"
