"Oh. My. God. I. Am. In. Heaven," I say, inhaling the wonderful scent of the all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet. After everything was sorted out in the white rooms, we were brought through endless winding halls to here.

Where is here? Its like a... luxury school cafeteria, I guess is the best way to put it. The room is a fifty by forty feet rectangle. Along one wall is a seemingly endless buffet. Right now it was filled with every kind of breakfast food imaginable. Along the opposite wall was a line of storefronts. starbucks, mcdonalds, chickfilla, you name it. The rest of the room was filled with tables and chairs.

"Okay, kids. before we let you pig out, do you have any questions?" dad asks with a smile.

I speak first. "What are these tag things we see on everyone? And why don't we have one?"

Dad smiles. "Those are access tags. Normally, if you don't have one, you are kept in one of those white rooms until you are either forcibly ejected from the building or given one. You guys, however, will receive injections after we eat. They will have a transmitter that will function as your tag.

"Your tag defines everything you can do here- if you can eat, access the labs or rec areas, even leave the building. An injection is equivalent to a gray tag, which gives you access to all but one room, and all but the most secret information. Any other questions? no? then lets eat."
