Meet-n-Greet

After being released from stasis, having the slime removed from their bodies and clothed in the creepy, pulsing leaf-suit that everyone wore, and being taken to the Weapons & Possessions lockers to collect their belongings, the new arrivals would find themselves standing in the Observation Deck. Round windows lined the fleshy walls, revealing the bright display of lights that was inter-dimensional travel. They would also discover that there were people--members of the command staff and crew that had woken earlier--waiting for them.

So they... weren't dead. So then this wasn't some kind of horrible, twisted afterlife to supplement the horrible, twisted turns of Steve's own life.

That was... good news. Sort of.

"Whoa whoa whoa. So there really are aliens?" he asked incredulously. Well, that was a stupid question, he said to himself seconds later. "I mean... what... how are we supposed to do that? Why us?"

Wednesday just kind of... shrugs.

"That's all the information we've been able to get."

Wow. This guy was just full of answers, wasn't he.

"Great," Steve groaned, rubbing his forehead. "More stupid mysteries. Well, I guess there's nothing you can do about it, huh?"

"It is being worked on. We have a team trying to get to the sealed-off sections of the ship to find out more of what's going on."

Unspoken but implied is the: if they can manage to get back in one piece each.

"Oh."

Steve wasn't sure quite what to say to that. He was too new and too clueless to volunteer for anything like that. Besides, they probably wouldn't have wanted someone his age anyway.

"Do uh. Do dead people come here often?" he asked.

"At least a few of them," Wednesday says with a little nod. "My guess is that however the abduction happens, it sometimes happens just at the end of the story, if you know what I mean..."

"Oh," said Steve again. Funny, that felt an awful lot like swallowing an ice cold lead weight.

But that still didn't tell him anything. Maybe he didn't actually die. Maybe he had been abducted from the prison? Maybe the entire last half of the Rockfort incident was part of some horrible dream, and there never was a T-Veronica virus and maybe Claire and his father were...

"Okay. Well, um. Thanks."

"You're welcome," Wednesday says pleasantly.
