Yes we are

As you walk down a couple of flights of stairs and enter the Development floor of the lab, you see the same white and bright design as before. You see a door to your left and a couple of doors to your right, as well as two doors a bit further down the hall you are standing in.

Alan beckons you to follow him through the hall and explains all the rooms you pass by. "This is where we keep, educate, and train our models for field work, as well as take notes on how they perform during the simulations we put them through. The model living quarters is through the door to your left. Human worker access to them is actually very limited, so you'll only interact with them directly while testing, which is more than some workers will ever have. Consider yourself lucky!"

Alan continues: "Now, to your right, the first door leads to the security room. Unfortunately, sometimes things get out of hand, so we've employed trained teams of guards to handle critical situations."

Walking forward, you look right through the windows of the next room and see something that resembles a classroom. There is a large desk in the front of the room and many smaller desks with chairs filling the rest of the room. Each desk is occupied by a model and just has a monitor on it, except for the big table in the front of the room that has a person and an actual computer set up.

Alan explains: "After the models have been assigned a room and a name, they are brought to the learning room. This room is used for feeding information into the models. Their brains are coded to work like computers, that meaning they can perfectly remember anything that they read, so we prepare information on a multitude of useful subjects that we need them to learn, like math, languages, history, sex ed and more. Then we just sit them in front of the screens and let them take everything in. The teacher dressed in orange is there to make sure the models read everything and that none of them misbehave."

You walk past the ominous silent classroom and move over to the final room on the right. Looking closer, it's actually a group of rooms, each with something interesting going on. In one room, you notice models holding guns and doing target practice, in another, you see a human instructor showing a model twice his size some martial arts, and in another, you see a model and a human seemingly just having a chat over some food.

Alan jumps in to explain what is going on. "Here we have rooms that train the models in almost every subject necessary for their work. At this point, the models are capable of speech and are already basically indistinguishable from real people, so it's far easier for our teachers dressed in orange to train them. They learn everything from how to use almost any type of gun, to how to seduce and negotiate their way out of almost any situation. After they finish training, they are pretty much ready to be sent out."

You pass multiple of these "training rooms" as you make your way to the end of the hall with two doors in front of you. To the right, you see something huge through a window. It looks like a giant glowing contraption. It's enclosed in some sort of seethrough barrier, and it seems to be monitored by people behind computer screens.

Alan says: "Alright, we're almost at the end. So the right door leads to the maintenance room, which holds our state of the art power generator that runs this place. It's not the most stable thing in the world, but it churns out a lot more power than anything its size, so the brave people dressed in brown keep it running nice and well. We also keep a bunch of our old devices and props in that room, just so you know. But enough about that, now we'll enter my domain, the research room!"

Alan presses a keycard up against a panel next to the door, waits until it opens and ushers you in the door. You step into the research room and look around to see a large number of monitors, showing the interior of what looks like to be every room in the lab you've seen so far. People in green lab coats, similar to Alan's, sit in front of the monitors and carefully make notes.

As Alan walks you through the room, he says: "Welcome to my little part of the lab. Here, I and the rest of my team work on increasing efficiency by monitoring and conducting tests for our fellow workers and the models. We watch how the scientists do their job, co-operate with others and what they do in their free time, and, we watch how the models train, learn and live together. Sometimes, we put select models through tests, in order to find any inefficiencies in their coding or training methods. Then, we collect notes and use them to improve our models in the future. Now, let's get to the part that involves you."

Alan walks you over to a table with 5 monitors on it. They all show what seem to be different angles and viewpoints of a white room with a black couch in the middle.

Alan speaks up. "This is where we'll watch you do your magic. The room you're looking at was a giant storage room, but once we sold most of our old equipment, it was turned into our new testing room. It's the biggest room in the lab, so it should be spacious enough to not have any limitations while testing, it's as quiet as a recording studio and well as fitted with multiple cameras and microphones to record all the action for further examination. There is also an intercom system in the room through which we can communicate with you for instruction purposes. As the leader of the research team, I have proudly assigned myself to be your overseer, so just know that when you're in there "performing", I'll be the one watching. Now, off to YOUR room."

Alan leads you to a door on the far left side of the research room. You both walk through a corridor with around 10 rooms on the left side of it, each with a number above them.

He says: "Mrs. Brook is sure that we'll get more applications for your position, so we prepared multiple rooms for test subjects, however, since you're our first one, you get the privilege of getting Room Nr. 1. Oh, and here's a keycard to your room. It also works for the research room, so you can come and say "Hi" every now and again between tests."

Alan hands you a green key card, matching his lab coat as well as the lab coats of all the other research team members. You press it against the panel on your door and the watch it open. The rooms itself looks like a compressed version of your apartment, including a bathroom, bedroom, and lounge area. It's not huge, around 10 square meters, but looks cozy. There's also a big black door on the other side of the room with a big red button on the side of it.

You both walk inside and Alan explains some final details. "Now, while working here in the lab, you gotta wear the uniforms provided to you in your closet. They're similar to the ones that the models wear when walking around the lab, but tailored to the male body. We'll bring you food 3 times a day, so you'll be well fed, and we also put a phone in here that you can use to call any of the team leaders, including me, as well as any medical help if you feel that you need it. Now let's just take a quick look at the testing room itself and we'll be done for the day."

You walk to the other side of your room up to the black door and watch as Alan presses the big red button on the side of it. As he does, the black door slides open and on the other side of it, you see the testing room. It's the same room you saw in the monitors back at the research room. You can tell by the black couch sitting in the middle.

Alan speaks up. "This place is where you will be spending most of your time. We thought that the couch was a nice touch, providing some sort of comfort so that you're not just banging with models on the floor, but it's not obligatory to use it. Now once you enter here, you can't leave until the test is over, or if we open the doors remotely from the research room, so keep that in mind. The models you'll be testing with will come out of that door over there, opposite yours. They have a sort of green room there, connected to their living quarters, where they can relax and unclothe before starting the test with you."

Taking a closer look around the room, it seems huge, as big as the atrium on the upper floor. It's brightly lit up, just like the rest of the lab, and is completely white, despite the couch.

You and Alan go back to your room and he says explains some final things. "Now, whenever you're ready to start a test, just press this big red button, step into the testing room and we'll know back up in the research room that you're ready to go. As soon as we see that you're ready to go, I'll explain the test through the intercom and send in your testing partner. Remember Jason, be sure to put your heart and soul into each test you perform, that way we get the best results. Oh, and don't worry if your uniform gets ripped or messy during testing, we'll try to refill the closet regularly."

You and Alan both head back over to the door of your room, and you thank him for the tour of the lab.

Alan finishes off by saying: "Well, that's pretty much it. If you have any questions, be sure to call or come over. As for today, as I already said, we aren't quite ready to start testing, but we'll be 110 % ready tomorrow. Guess you can just dick around a little bit until tomorrow then. See you bright and early partner!"

He shakes your hand and leaves you to your lonesome in your room, so you decide to look around. You peer into the closet and see about a dozen white jumpsuits with light green accents. They have convenient zippers on the more "intimate" areas of the body, which you quickly take note of. You take one from the stack and put it on, placing your old clothes in the closet. It feels comfy and elastic, breathable and light. You decide to take a walk around the lab to pass the time, yet you can't help but feel excited for tomorrow.

As the day quickly draws to a close, you jump into your comfy bed, shut your eyes and drift away to sleep. Tomorrow will be the start of your new life, and you couldn't be more excited about it!
