PREMISE

THE RESERVATION
reservation: a district that is reserved for particular purpose
The Reservation is a small area reserved for its new inhabitants - you and the city folk. You were brought here for your protection, because you were believed to be in danger. No one knows what this danger is but you're all here for the same reason and you can't leave, not until you're safe. Whilst the outside world had been destroyed it is something that the city inhabitants don't like to talk about, with too many bad memories.

Arrival
You awaken one morning in a white room, the bed less than comfortable and there are no windows to tell you of your location. After the grogginess fades you are left with confusion, though you're not alone for long. A smiling face approaches, white coat donned and clipboard in hand.

"It's okay." They tell you, soothingly. They introduce themselves as a doctor, one of the many at this facility. "We found you near the outskirts of the complex, you'd collapsed. Everything's alright, your vitals are stable and there are no lingering effects." You can't remember collapsing but their smile, their formality makes you want to believe.

After being helped up the doctor begins to lead you out. "Registration is just down this hall; Sarah will help to settle you."

Everything looks normal, people are going about their daily business and there are others like you, so many that a small queue begins to form. When you reach desk Sarah smiles at you, handing you a short form along with a registration pack.

The form has basic detail requests on it and the pack comes with a key, information and a phone.

"That's your papers and apartment key, try not to lose it. There's a map in the envelope along with some instructions on how to get started."

After a little while, with a crowd gathering, someone will come into the foyer. They're announced as the mayor who will give you the full story: your world is in danger, just like this one was. They managed to be able to rescue you before it collapsed, saving you from the dangers that they went through. Hopefully you'll settle in and make a contribution to the community - it's all that's left now.

Working in the Reservation is encouraged, and as close to enforced as it can be. Communities only thrive if everyone takes part and there's a lot that can be done - farming, patrols, construction, even teaching. The mayor will help set you up in any job you can fit to. Whilst there's a local intranet it's very limited, more like a bulletin board style forum for all your questions and needs. As for outside of the borders? It's advised not to go further than the patrols - and there isn't anything out there to see.
