What in the hells is going on in this place Zander thinks to himself. Next file down is what looks like a note. Female Joanna, was a tough one to crack. Nice one to play with and do as we wanted to her. She is messed up in the head and no amount of memory wipes helped. Recommend to kill her.
The next few notes are all the same about the females and males were just testing different substances on.
The last note. Putting myself into a cyrogenic tube to wake in 1000 years to continue this research. Maybe by then I can finally get rid of these Zondora people, making the perfect race and world in my image. If the test fails and I'm not awoken, whoever finds this message, I've left a chip card with one billion chips, a keycard to get outside, keys to my car and places of residence, and lastly of all, all my research in my duster hanging up by the door. Good luck to my future self.
Zander reaches into his pockets and finds the items mentioned. Not too interested in the items, he places those back and takes out the flat plastic stick. Putting it next to the holographic board, a ton of files come up. After ten minutes of searching he calls Jessee over and shows her what he found.
After about another ten minutes of Jessee reading and re-reading she cries on his shoulder. He gets a notification.

Jessee finally stops crying and looks deep into his eyes as if something is drawing her deeper into him. There's this primal like urge but not very strong. It's something she's going to have to try and figure out later. She finally speaks to Zander. "Thank you. I still don't understand why; however, with you... it's different... I feel safer. I feel like I need to protect you like your a kid." She looks at him harder to gauge her words to him.
"I would like your help until I fully understand everything. Thank you".
He moves away from Jessee and begins to do his daily quest.
A few minutes later more notifications pop up.

Taking one more walk around the laboratory, Zander makes sure that nothing is important that he's missing. He walks over to the dead bodies and inspects them again. Nothing new can be found out. He walks over to the lockers one more time, also nothing more is in them. He even checks all the pockets and finds nothing. Looking over at Jessee. "You have anything left here that you need before we leave"?
Jessee shakes her head no and walks towards the door. Zander follows. Upon getting to the door, it opens up to a hallway. The hallway is lined with benches like you'd see in a hospital. The walls are white and so is the floor along with being polished to where you can see your reflection.
Zander takes over lead. Coming to the door, the light above the door is flickering. He holds his hand up to stop Jessee from walking. Zander gets into a crouching stance and slowly moves forward. The door reads the card in his pocket and slides open without making a noise. Beyond the door is what can only be described as a reception area.
The lights are on. There's a person sitting at the reception desk. Zander uses Inspection on the person.
[Zondora female: Dead]
He crepes up behind her and checks for a pulse. Nothing. He rummages through her pockets and comes back with a chip card, access card, and a cigar like thing. He drops the body out of the chair; however, it doesn't hit the floor. It goes into his storage. 'Really Kris. I know you want to get me laid but really bitch. Take her body out of my inventory, now.' The body falls to the floor. He begins typing away at the holographic board. After a few minutes he's able to find a map with the layout of the building. His jaw drops.
3786 is displayed in big letters. Jessee sees this and falls to her knees. When Zander first died or thought he did the year was 2022 on Earth. Now he's in the year 3786. I went forward 1764 years into the future on a different planet none the less.
Jessee can't believe that she's been in cyro for 1765 years. That means that everyone and everything she knows is ancient history. Her boyfriend, siblings, and parents are dead. The money system is obsolete unless they still use the chips system. In her time the chips cards were white, brown, blue, green, purple, gold, red with red being in the Trillions. "Zander what color of chips cards did you find"?
Zander shows her the one from the dead lady which was blue in color. The one from the dead dr. Is gold. "Is there a reason that these are different colors"?
"Yes. Over 1000 years ago the color system told a merchant how much you had on hand. That blue one would be around the hundreds while the gold was in the billions. If you were ever lucky enough to find a red card then, well, you had in the trillions. Purple, gold, and red where hardly even seen".
"So right now we have over a billion chips! Holy shit! That's more money then I ever had where I came from". He jumps out of the seat and kisses her on the lips. She returns it in kind.
[+3 to Relationship with Jessee]
"Sorry I.."
She stops him with putting her finger in his lips.
"Is there anyway I can take chips from one card and add them to another"?
"Over 1000 years ago yes. All you would do is walk up to something like the holographic board and say transfer funds from X to Y and boom, done. If the chips transferred where greater then the card you had it would change to the next highlight color".
He takes the lead again while mulling over what she told him. Walking out the doors in front of the desk it's another hallway. They travel down this for a short bit. Not seeing anyone, they walk through the next door. It's an empty waiting like room. Walking on, they go down another hallway. They pass through another set of doors into another waiting like room also with nothing inside.
Zander finally speaks up. "Do you get the feeling that somethings wrong around here or is it just me"?
"Definitely. We should've seen people by now".
They continue to walk the hallways. Finally coming to a huge room, they see someone sitting at a strange looking door. Using his inspection skill again nothing comes up on what that door is.
[Human Male: Dead]
Searching the dead man he comes back with another blue chips card and an access card to the door. He also finds a cool looking ring. It has two Aces with jewels in it. Using inspection.
[Gamblers Ring]
(Basic level gear. +1 luck and +1 perception)
Zander puts it on his hand and shows Jessee, "what do you think? Makes me look cool right"?
She just shakes her head.
The door opens up. They step into it. In an instant they are transported to the outside world.
Once outside they can see how blue the sky is and how clean the air is. Looking behind them, they see where they just came from. A one story building that looks like a normal office places in the middle of a forest.
"We're in a fuckn forest! Are you bloody kidding me!!" He fails to his knees.
A large ROARING is heard.
