THE PULSE OF AWAKENING

...the choice is yours.

In a dark, dingy and filthy cell, the five beings awake. One of them is a being of light. Mira is its name, however it is very weak, and unable to remember anything from recently. Furthermore, Mira is the only source of light and only because of Mira can the other awakened beings see each other. They jump to their feet in alarm. The cloak of Saker whirls about her as she sizes up the others, Gunrod takes out his blunderbuss and Commander Shepard makes a crack that "no good can come from this", earning a glare from Maxine.

Initially hostile towards each other, the party introduce themselves to each other. Maxine remains hostile and rather pissed off, but all of a sudden their attention is drawn to Mira as it begins to flicker. Its power is dwindling. Mira explains about its species tendency to lose energy over time, and so not only are they losing a source of light but also a sudden ally.

"So where are we?" says Saker, folding her arms. "And how did we get here?"

"I think all of us want to know that," replies Commander Shepard.

As best as it can, Mira illuminates the area around them more. It indeed appears to be a cell. With a horrifying abruptness they notice a large pile of seemingly human skeletons, skulls, and bones in one corner of the cell. One of the skeletons is grasping vainly at the wall, as though it was struggling to get out when suddenly, it died. It seems there are absolutely no doors at all in the cell. It does, however, have a relatively high ceiling, and upon closer inspection there are several vents up above, though to where they go is uncertain. The ceiling itself is rock-solid and is caked with the grime of possibly centuries, and the walls don't look that great either. The floor seems solid too, though as Gunrod stomps on one spot, it makes more of an echo than anywhere else he stomps.

Their inspection comes to an end as a mechanical voice is heard from somewhere outside:

"Welcome to Headquarters. State your identities."

The party look at each other. Mira is flickering again...

A couple of things you could do here, but it all depends. What will you do?

(also, it's been a long while. Let me know if there are any major technicalities, thanks )
