taxonomites | now i rock a house party at the drop of a hat.

It's around five o'clock in the morning when the citizens of Taxon find themselves inexplicably transported into rooms within the Sanctuary. Doors are left open and beds unmade, food abandoned and lights left on, still shining brightly for those who were awake and are no longer present. The Extras don't seem to notice the captive population's sudden disappearance, continuing on with their business as usual.

For those relocated, though, it's an entirely different story.

They find themselves in rooms with white, alabaster walls that gives them an almost too-clean feeling, as if the entire place was sanitized prior to their arrival. The room assignments are seemingly random, people placed on floors with those they don't know and don't like, people they would rather not be within twenty feet of. It matters not, for what's done is done and cannot be undone. For those who happen to have pets, they'll find them waiting for their owners in the rooms as if nothing is out of the ordinary.

The only thing the captives have managed to bring with them is the clothes on their back and the tablets. On them, they find the following message:

SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE PLEASE ENJOY YOUR STAY WHILE WE ADDRESS CERTAIN TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES

Unfortunately for those who try to find a means of escape, they'll discover there is none. Leaving the Sanctuary will prove to be as difficult as leaving Taxon itself. However, if one heads down the right corridor and the right floor, they'll find something else entirely lurking in their midst...

Hello, Quinn. There's a giant hamster head poking in your open door.

"Oops!" It squeaks. "Occupied, sorry sorry. And, um."

A beat passes. It squeaks a little gulp of nervousness.

"T-terribly sorry about the... Neck thing." It gestures vaguely. "We'll send you a pretty scarf."

With another squeak the head is gone and the door is closed.

Quinn almost screams upon seeing the GIANT HAMSTER. Almost. Because adrenaline kicks in and she is on her feet or not. Pretty scarf or not, she throws open the door and chases after it.

"Hey! Hey get back here! Don't you run away from me!"

"I said sorry!"

The Hamster is not as fast as certain other bipedal aliens, and is really hoping it hasn't forgot some latent ability where Quinn can explode him with her mind.

Quinn still stares open mouthed at the hamster. This is way to bizarre.

"Send me home!"

Oh.

The Hamster stops in front of the wall by the bathrooms and turns around. Should Quinn be able to read the facial expressions of hamsters, she'll see pity there.

"It doesn't work that way. Really, very very very sorry."

And the wall opens up and the Hamster disappears into it with a sad little wave.
