LEVEL 1 - THE ENDLESS OFFICES
NEUTRAL | SEMI-STABLE | MODERATE ENTITY ACTIVITY
Beyond the dentist's back hallway lies an infinite expanse of 1980s office spaces. Endless cubicles stretch under flickering fluorescent lights that hum at 47Hz. The carpet smells of stale coffee and ozone.
WATCH THE WINDOWS. The exterior views show different floors depending on time of day. At night, some windows reveal entities watching back. Do not acknowledge them.
NOTABLE FEATURES:
- Copy Room: Machines always jam with page 47 of unknown documents
- Break Room: Coffee machines dispense warm liquid that tastes like your childhood home
- Storage Closets: Some contain stairwells to non-existent floors
- Conference Room B: All clocks are 47 minutes fast
NAVIGATION TIPS:
- Follow the emergency exit signs - they sometimes lead to safe zones
- If you find a red stapler on a desk, you're being watched
- Working computers display 1970s dental records - do not search for your name
ENTITY ALERT: "The Consultants" (Humanoids in beige suits) will offer performance reviews. Accepting one results in gradual office assimilation within 47 hours.
CONNECTION TO LEVEL-0: The dental lobby's shadow mist sometimes drifts into Level-1 through air vents. Personnel report hearing dental drills in distant cubicles.
