All voices were hushed as the screen buzzed and flickered to life. It cast a pale glow that reflected off of the ten pairs of eyes in the underground room. There was the crackle of static before a fuzzy image focused on the screen. A man in a white uniform looked out from the screen. "Greetings. You have been brought down here because you have been accepted to start the test. If you pass, you can enter the dome. If you fail, you will never leave this place again. The rules are simple. Make it to the other end of the maze. There is a map in the center of the maze. It will help you on your journey. I wish you the best of luck." The screen flickered and died, casting the room in half-darkness. Voices started up again. "What kind of test is this?" One man shouted, but before he could get an answer the heavy metal doors at the other end of the room opened by themselves, making a squealing grinding sound as whatever mechanical device moved them. Beyond the doors was a dark metal corridor, half-lit every few yards or so by a dim lightbulb.The group quieted, and a few desperate people darted into the darkness. Then the rest began to move. As soon as the entire group was in the maze, the doors began to close behind them. They were sealed into the maze. A loudspeaker above the door buzzed to life, and the same voice as the man's on the screen spoke.
"Let The Maze Test begin."
