An Anomalistic Nightmare

"What the hell?" Anna looks at you with her mouth wide open. The watch glitches, //BEEEP..// and the beep sound dies. You look around and there are no windows and you don't fall back into the loop. "I did it!" you scream as a smile slowly spreads to your eyes. You hug Anna and she stands there stiff and speechless. "We escaped the loop!" you scream throwing fists of joy in the air. You explain the email to Anna and the joy slowly spread to her as well. She is impressed and thankful that you helped her. Suddenly a researcher enters inside, "Anna! We have reestablished contact with the research team!" he announces. Anna and you exchange a smile. You are praised highly by the scientists and researchers at the space station. They offer you a free visit near the red planet which you politely reject as you want to be as far away from it as possible due to recent nightmare experiences. Instead, you are offered a job at the space station which you decide to take as you want to expand your horizons. You get assigned a cozy space in the space station with //your own coffee machine// and a mesmerizing view. "My stupid planet doesn't have this stuff, it's so good," you think to yourself while sipping a warm cup of coffee. A journey of new experiences begins after the time loop nightmare. You are happy and so is everyone you saved. ENDING 5 - The True Ending [[Thanks for Playing!->thanks-for-playing]]

Anna sighs. "I don't like that but if we are stuck in a time loop I guess you didn't have a choice," she replies. "So did you find anything?" "There was an email from a guy, Ryan. He warned you about keeping your new watch away from liquids. Then there was a spam email and oh yeah email from this guy about the walkie talkie, he is a weird one," you say chucking a little. Suddenly anna screams with surprise, "What! Wait! What did you say? Tell me again!" "This guy, he gave you a walkie talkie I think? His grandfather.." She interupts, "No, No! About Ryan! He said to keep my watch away from liquids. Yes, it all makes sense! This watch could be the cause for all this because of the anomolies. Yes. I know what to do!" she says running to the coffee machine. You follow her and look at her astonished face. "The machine is broken!" she says putting her hands on her forehead. "Yeah... that, sorry about that, I did that," you reply embarrisingly. Suddenly your vision blurs and you start to feel dizzy. Do you fe.. feel dizzy?" you speak with a lot of effort. "Are you okay? Oh no, did we do something wrong?" she looks around concerned. "Ah! What if we are exiting the boundries of the loop and that's... [[what is happening?->coffeeroom]]

You observe the desk. There are multiple technological devices that look too cool to touch. One of them looks like a walkie talkie with a long antenna.

You don't feel like embarrasing yourself anymore.] [[Follow her out->hallway]]

(text-colour:black)[This time you stand still. You look around with confusion flowing through your brain. "I should have known, it's a hidden space station researching questionable technology after all. Are they trying to experiment with me?" you think to yourself. You follow her again and again trying to change the conversation or tell her this has already happened but you always find yourself staring at the red planet again. You follow her to the breakroom again and suddenly stop in your steps. "Am I stuck in a time loop?" You ask yourself and that is the only explanation that makes sense to you. You think back to all the media you have consumed in the past with time loop concepts and try to think about how people escape from the loop.

You hear some static and then suddenly you hear a *ting* "Hey AN! Wow, did 4546-B vanish from space? How are you today? I didn't expect this," a voice speaks in a comedic tone. "Hello? I am fine," you reply back trying to immitate Anna's voice. There is a slight pause."You okay? Why do you sound so weird today? What happened to your sweet voice. (You roll your eyes.) Did you drink too much coffee by any chance? I told you to slow down on those and try the tea I sent you. You never told me how you liked that. Did you know it's made from the leaves of daisyberry trees only found in the Haven forests? Haven forests! Would you like to make a trip with me there sometime? That would be cool. We can try foraging! Or maybe we can just walk around and look at the trees and the skies. The skies are pretty there, like wonderful. The air is just so clean.

You pour another warm cup and drink it sip by sip. It is still pretty delicious. [[Back to coffee machine->coffee-machine]] [[Drink even more coffee->coffee-3]]

You take yet another cup of coffee gulping it down. It tastes kinda funny. Maybe you should stop. [[Back to coffee machine->coffee-machine]] [[Drink more more more coffee->coffee-4]]

You drink another cup or cups? You cannot remember how much you have gulped away. Your eyelid is twitching and your hands are jittery. You keep smelling the coffee beans and it feels so good. [[Back to coffee machine->coffee-machine]] [[Drink coffee more beans coffee->coffee-5]]

You drink more coffee or are you chewing on the beans now? You don't mind the warmth as the coffee consumes you. "Hey, that was my coffee!" you hear a funky voice from behind you. You turn around and see a giant cactus-like creature standing in front of you with a mug in its green limb. "You don't own this coffee!" you scream back at him trying to make another cup. "Hey! That's my beans you keep chewing!" the green cactus says as it proceeds towards you. He slaps you and you fall down on the ground. "It's okay, some people have addiction problems. Let me help you," he says in his funky voice as he grabs you and makes you stand up straight. You look around the room and there is no one. A burning sensation behind your back makes you turn around. There is wide open space filled with stars and the large bright red planet moving towards you. The red planet almost looks like a face of a monster opening wide waiting for you to step in. You turn around and there is no space station. Just you, floating in space as you get swallowed by the planet. Too much coffee is bad. ENDING 1 [[Thanks for Playing!->thanks-for-playing]]

You throw coffee at Anna's watch. She immediately dodges your attack. Her reflexes are pretty quick. "What was that about?" she screams at you in horror. She steps back away from you with fear in her eyes. You try to explain yourself but found yourself at a loss of words. "Security!" she screams and a couple of men enter the room suited and armed. They grab you and put a set of glasses on your eyes that blind your vision. You are pushed around a lot until the glasses are removed and you find yourself in what looks like a fancy room with a glass door but then you look around and realise it's a space prison cell... You couldn't help Anna and the others out of the loop and spend the rest of your life in prison. ENDING 4 [[Thanks for Playing!->thanks-for-playing]]

You walk to the experiment station. There are multiple devices that look too delicate and complicated. You touch a button on one of them and it beeps twice then shuts off. You decide to ignore that. At the other corner, you see multiple test tubes connected to each other with strange liquids in each of them. There are a few scribbles notes lying on the table.

(text-colour:black)[You try to explain to Anna that you are stuck in a time loop. Anna gives you a confused look and does not believe you. You tell her about the information she have told you before.

You follow her out to a long hallway(if: $has_coffee is true)[ with warm coffee in your hand]. It has two huge glass windows on either side, one side facing the red planet and the endless field of stars on the other. "That's a fancy watch you have," you say as you follow alongside her. "It's not part of my research actually. A friend from the quantum tunneling department gave it to me, it's a new communication device prototype! But yes, the planet, you see its redness? That's not normal and that is what my team is studying here." You gaze at the planet again, it looks beautiful in the way volcanos look beautiful, from afar. "The planet's magnetic field has weird quantum anomalies in it," she continues. "We sent a team of researchers with a spacecraft loaded with sensors to have a closer look and they have gone radio silent, that's where you come in." You look Anna in the eyes, "Yeah I was wondering what an air force pilot was doing in a classified research station," you chuckled. "I can help you with that, you can depend on me," you continue in a serious tone and Anna nods. "That's a relief", she says as you both arrive at a sealed door at the end of the hallway.

You follow her out to the hallway(if: $has_coffee is true)[ with warm coffee in your hand]. "These windows look pretty cool," you say to her trying to change the conversation. "Yeah, the space station is designed well. I love to gaze out from these windows as a leisure activity, spotting different stars. But yes, the planet, you see its redness? That's not normal and that is what my team is studying here." You gaze at the planet again, it looks the same, still mesmerizing. You feel like you are in a dream. "The planet's magnetic field has weird quantum anomalies in it," she continues. "We sent a team of researchers with a spacecraft loaded with sensors to have a closer look and they have gone radio silent, that's where you come in." You stare at the planet wondering why you are having such a strong deja vu. "Hey! Are you listening?" you suddenly jerk back to reality. "Yeah um yeah why?" You ask while perplexed about the situation. "To help with rescue," she replies giving you a slightly concerned look. You both arrive at the sealed door again.

(set: $has_visited_lab_once to true) You come across a big room that looks like a research lab with all kinds of equipment small and large strewn about. Anna heads toward one of the stations positioned right beside a large glass window overlooking the planet. Collecting a few papers from her desk, she starts speaking, "The team went silent 8 hours ago, the quantum guys are still trying to troubleshoot the communications array and reestablish contact, but we are getting worried and want you to start a search and rescue operation immediately." Anna pauses for a moment examining a paper as you glance around the lab. "The last known coordinates were -" she suddenly shoots a look towards a dark corner of the lab. You follow her gaze and see her looking at one of the CCTV cameras. "Actually, let's talk somewhere private," she says as she walks past the window to yet another door.

You look around the lab, conscious of the CCTV camera in the corner. There is Anna's desk in front of the window with some stuff lying around and a set of shelves beside it. Different lab equipment and machines are placed around the room. You observe a complicated experiment station near a wall with various graphs and spreadsheets on display.

Didn't you already tell me that?" Anna looks at you strangely confused by your sudden interruption. "Right, I did tell you. I was just explaining more," she replies slowly with some irritation in her voice. She shoots a look towards the CCTV again. "Actually, let's talk somewhere private," she says as she walks past the window and through the door again before you could stop her. [[ Look out the window again? ->window]]

[[Try to convince her more->flow-break]]

(text-colour:black)[Anna nods and agree. You both sit down and try to discuss and look for clues. She suggests some new solutions to try but they don't work.
