…….The last thing you see is a mass of metal and brass hurtling before you, a ring of sickly green necronic energy laced with crackling lightning propelling the train ever forward. the sound of the engine and the horn is a ear-splitting wale that seems as much mechanical as the screams of thousands of tortured souls trapped within.. in the last moments you realise this train doesn’t run on steam or lightning – it runs on unfortunate souls

but it’s too late… the upforce generated as it rockets past drags you into the green mist surrounding it.. for a moment all is black and then slowly you come though, you are each sitting and chained in a narrow metal room – you can feel the floor moving around you and in front of you is a metal desk, the room is a narrow – only 10 feet wide with the corners tapered in, the door behind the desk is unusally shaped.

The walls are thick plates of led and you can see foreign runes etched into them.
In the corner of the room you see a small red dot. Suddenly you here a BING, BING, BONG coming from the dot – followed with a calm and reassuring voice:

“Good Morning Passengers.
Please do not be alarmed as it appears we have taken on a couple of Hitchhikers.
The Captain has requested that all passengers return to their assigned seats until processing has been completed and we know of their intent.”

In front of you is a box, slowly letters emerge….
