You and your friends step into the arcade. The flyer said that it opened at 9, and here you were.
It's right when the door closes that you realize it's pitch black in there. You're about to grab your phone to use as a light, when a man with a glowstick on a necklace steps in front of you. The dim blue light only lets you make out a portion of him, but you notice he's wearing some kind of helmet, with what looks like an entire RadioShack stuck on.
"
Oh good. You're all here. Now, come with me. The machine's in the back room."
You look at your friends, a bit nervous, but realize they've all gone ahead with the guy. You shrug, and follow blindly behind them, towards the faint blue light.
After a couple minutes of walking, twisting, turning, and repeatedly bumping into walls and friends, you stroll into what you think is an incredibly large room. You hear a lot of humming, and assume some kind of fan in in the room.
That is, until the lights get turned on. Everyone gasps at the incredible machine in the middle of the room! Several large, blue glowing chambers, with helmets identical to the one the man was wearing, dangling from the tops. You turn to ask the man what it is, but he's disappeared. Suddenly, a voice fills the room.
"
Please, step into the machine. It'll explain the rest."
The chambers all light up in various colours, and you feel compelled to enter. You walk towards it, and strap on the helmet. You look to your sides, and see all of your friends have done the same. You focus snaps forwards, when a voice pops into your ears and words appear on your visor.
WELCOME TO UPGRADE.
