Shut Down

Welcome to Halo Corp

"Anderson, Maximillian Anderson of SOLDIER, First Class, reporting for duty!" The rookie member of SOLDIER stood in salute to a scientist, his uniform highly reminiscent of the old Shinra Infantry suit.
"Yes, yes I know." The man in the lab-coat chuckled, "I was told you'd be assigned here on high security for your initiation into SOLDIER. Welcome to Halo Corp." He offered his hand to the lad, "At ease, boy. My name is Dr. Eric Calvin, Head of the ReCon project, amongst other things."
"Just call me Max, sir." Max eased off his straight posture, kneeling a little to grab his bag, he'd be living in Halo Corp while he worked there so he had various items with him, mostly clothes for when he was off duty and materials related to his specially crafted machine-rifle.

"Well then, Max, the directory is just down the hall to your left, finding the dorms will be easy then, you will be situated in room 25-B, I hope your time here is a comfortable one. I'll send an assistant down to guide you around the facility, I hope by then you'll be getting to know the place well enough, I hear you're remarked upon for your ability to turn most any situation into an advantage for yourself. I hope we won't need to test that theory, but in case we do, please do your best to protect this facility."

"Yes sir. I'll go and set up now." He saluted Calvin before proceeding in the way he'd been told. The facility was pretty well made, things were well cleaned the walls looked secure, difficult to damage. And the smell was pure air, no taste at all not even from the refined steel all around. The air had to be purified a lot he guessed, since this was a place of research and development.

The white walls were covered in glowing bright blue lines, seeming to fade out before a new wave of light spread out across them again. Cameras were placed at vantage points and frequently at corners and along the centreline of the ceiling.
He stopped at a large opening, in which he could see down a railing at far lower levels, but it was here he could also see the directory, and sure enough it clarified a few things for him, pointing out on a map where he was in the building, and various locations close to his location lit up so he knew where he was going, but it seemed like the barracks weren't far off.

He walked close to the railing, eyes over the edge, that was quite a fall to take, but he wasn't bothered, there were various locations below where he could grab railing or outcropped structures and us his moment to save him.
His attention turned forward again. The other soldiers here were stone-faced; some maybe even a little pale, what had them so spooked? Those who saw him saluted, recognising him from a few missions a while back.
"At ease," Max would tell them, eventually finding his way to the Barracks, moving down the stairs to his room, the furthest on his line of rooms. The door hissed, the centre spinning about once, and splitting apart before the doors slid apart in three sections, allowing him access to his initially bland seeming room.
"Hmm… I guess it's got potential." The male joked to himself, stepping in, the door closed behind him, the earlier process now played in reverse before locking. He'd heard only the occupier or specially cleared people could access the rooms, so he figured this one was made for him.
He looked back at the door for a small moment before looking forward to the room again,
"Guess I better unpack."
