Trembling, I tap the flatscreen implanted into my transparent desk, and the final plan for the arena is revealed. Before me is a glorified map of the arena, with annotations helpfully pointing out the features of certain things - mutts, traps, and hidden areas.
My team is especially proud of the latter - this is the first time any arena has had any hideouts that are specifically designed to be lived in. They will, hopefully, be both a gift and a potential downfall for tributes - these hideouts vary in luxuries - some are simply fitted with a mattress, others are practically houses carved into the Earth, filled with food and even weapons.
They're all hidden to a degree, however, some of them could realistically be found by a determined 5 year old armed with a spade. We did this on purpose. It's great to see tributes think they've won before the games have even properly started, and hopefully these curses disguised as blessings will lead to interesting downfalls of our more foolish competitors.
Once I've finished looking around the plans, (the general arena is a mix of woodland and mountains, pretty ordinary, but the hideouts add a perfect little twist to the landscape) I address my team, who look at me with excitement tinged with fear.
"All of you... Have outdone yourselves this time! This has the potential to be one of the best games ever!" I exclaim, and my coworkers cheer, their faces alight with pride.
"All the final checks have been carried out, so you know what we have to do now." We all sit at our desks and watch as the flatscreen at the front of the room flickers to life, and the first reaping, in District One, comes into focus.
The games have just begun.
