"Wake up, Miss Craig."

Shaundi Craig heard a sleek, feminine voice around her. Unfamiliar...just like the floor she was laying on. Her head felt groggy, but the cool air around her made the feeling less jarring. Shaundi sat up, trying to make sense of it. Her eyes focused, making the room's appearance clear. A completely sterile, white room, with a single door and no visible carpet. It was like a box. Shaundi looked down and noticed that she was wearing the same clothes she had been wearing last night; a grayish-blue tube top and black low-riding pants. She ran her head through her dark-blonde dreadlocks and felt some fabric- a bandanna. Must be Pierce's- she remembered him giving her something last night.

"Miss Craig, have you finished your self-analysis?" the voice asked.

Shaundi almost jumped. She'd forgotten all about her 'company', and now felt slightly embarrassed. And creeped out- she just now realized how frighteningly sterile and...kidney-stealing-y this room looked. "Uh...yes?" she muttered, looking around for a speaker. She saw only a white camera with a black lens, which she presumed was the source of the voice.

"Excellent. Now, do you have any questions?" the voice asked.

Shaundi thought for a moment. "Yeah. A lot." she said.

"That's too bad, because now you have a job to do." the voice demurred.

The white door flew open, and Shaundi jumped back slightly.

"Please, Miss Craig, proceed to the next room." the voice said.

Shaundi grimaced. She had no idea where she was, what she was doing, or who this voice was- and it refused to answer her questions.

But she resolved to stay confident. "Fine. I'm game." Shaundi claimed. She put on a strong face and walked through the door.

Shaundi entered the next room, and saw only a white table with a white jar on top of it, and a door leading to, presumably, another room. She adjusted her bandanna and approached the jar. She looked down into it and frowned. She couldn't see anything. "So...uh, what do you want me to do, Miss...uh..."

"I am EVAT." the voice answered.

Shaundi scowled. "Right. What do I need to do, uh, EVAT?" she asked.

"You must leave this room. The door out of this room is locked. There is a key in this room. Keys unlock doors. And you cannot leave this room if the door out of it is locked. So I believe you have all of the information you need." EVAT replied.

"Guess so." Shaundi said. It was obvious where the key was; after all, that jar was pretty prominent. Still, this seemed way too easy. Almost like she was being set up. "How do I know the key's in there?" she called out.

"You do not. Unless, of course, you do know. Which, judging by your question, you do not." EVAT replied.

"Okay..." Shaundi muttered. She looked down at the jar and sighed. She placed her hand in and felt nothing except cold clay. She reached further down and felt something metallic. After groping around a bit, she felt a piece of string attacked to the metal. She drew her arm out and thought for a moment. "Don't rush yourself, Shaunee. Take it slow." she said to herself.

Shaundi reached into the jar and wrapped her fingers around the metal object. Then, she pulled it, causing the string attached to it to become taut. Shaundi pulled harder, and realized that the string was attached to the key quite firmly. Shaundi began to pull again when she felt something hot against her finger. She ground her spiked bracelet against the string, frustrated by her inability to see what was going on. During this, she felt more burning drops on her arm and hand, but stayed vigilant.

After a moment, Shaundi's arm flew out, and she was holding the key and the severed string. A few blisters were on her arms, but she was fine aside from that. "Fucking hell, what was in that thing?" she shouted.

"Hot glue. When you pulled the key, the string activated several glue tubes, causing them to shoot out hot glue to fill the jar. I've now stopped them, since you have completed your task." EVAT said.

"Fuck..." Shaundi muttered, looking down at her blisters.

"Please continue to the next room, Miss Craig."
