The little elevator accelerates smoothly. After a while, it decelerates and comes to a stop. A side panel snaps open so suddenly you flinch. Then you step out into a room filled with light.
You squint until your eyes can adjust to all this brightness. Every surface of the room - the walls, the floor, the ceiling - is glowing with a white light. Suddenly there is a wrenching displacement in your your body as though you just fell a short distance and then a reflexive convulsion of your spine that makes your shoulders jump. What's happening to you? The light in the room rises in intensity so rapidly that you shut your eyes. Your ears "pop" as the air pressure suddenly changes.
You open your eyes. You are in a different room now. A room that seems open to space on one side. You see a blackness sprinkled with the intense pinpoint lights of stars and there is something else... a large green and brown planet.
You are fascinated by this view of space, but you turn around when you hear a door slide open behind you.
"Welcome, to Triforce Station" says a woman in a blue uniform. "May I help you?"
At first you are speechless, but the woman just stands there looking at you, so you manage to say "Y-yes..."
The woman says "How may I help you?"
"I don't know..." you say.
The woman smiles and says "Are you unacquainted with humbots?"
