The airlock clicks open with a hiss. A silhouetted figure walks into a dark room. The massive rotating door behind him rolls back into place, and seals shut.The airlock clicks open with a hiss. A silhouetted figure walks into a dark room. The massive rotating door behind him rolls back into place, and seals shut.Darkness. Nothing. Maracheck walks forwards. As he does so, a light directly above him turns on. Motion controlled. A computer voice sounds out “Welcome to The Groomlake Research Facility. We know you will enjoy your stay.” Computer screens flicker on showing various PR photos of families on board, scientists working happily, children playing.As Maracheck moves forward the lights continue to turn on infront of him. More computer voices:“Please be aware that we are operating on emergency power.”He continues down the corridor. Comfortable seating on either side of him suggests an airport lobby of some kind. This must be where the important people came in…a company would waste money like this on an entrance for grunts.As he advances, more lights turn on, highlighting security turrets. Shut down. The security systems must not be operating. Good thing too…those turrets would have shredded him. As if reading his mind, the computer voice sounds out an eerie warning.“To ensure that your stay with us is a pleasant one, please remember to follow all protocol. Your safety is our priority.”The lights go off for a second…the sound of an electric generator spinning up again.“Please make your way to decontamination.”“Thank you for your cooperation.”
ARRIVALS HALL
Dignitaries, VIP’s, and high ranking members of the military all enter through the Arrivals Hall. When fully operational, it showed off the scale and immensity of The Groomlake…but now, it is a hollow shell…an empty cavern. Welcome indeed.
and DECONTAMINATION ROOM
Space brings disease, which in a closed off space ship can quickly lead to death. Therefore, every soul who boards The Groomlake has to be scanned, and cleansed of any pathogens. The X Ray scanner also doubles as a security scanner, preventing unwanted weapons or devices on board. But what happens when there is nobody to turn off the scanners? When quarantine procedures cause a lock down? When the only thing standing between Maracheck, and the salvage of a lifetime, is an air tight metal door?

“NIN are one of my favorite bands. The Fragile is my album of choice! If you get a chance, do a search for their QUAKE stuff...awesome music.„I'm experimenting with using the sounds of space as a musical score, ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3fqE01YYWs ) which could be quite nice and eerie. Sound design isnt my strong suite, so Im having quite a bit of fun experimenting with using different sounds to create some nice atmosphere.
You know, looking at this segment here about the sounds of space and the ability to record them could lead to an interesting puzzle to add in later to the game...maybe you have to use a receiver to pick up something that's transmitting outside the ship in the vacuum of space and you can't reach it for some reason.
To be honest, I'm just thinking of a way to use that sound in a video game in some shape or form.
