Staff Instructions

Your Role: You are a lab assistant at Trenchwood Institute, called away from your research tasks to be a registration clerk.

What To Wear: Lab coat and Trenchwood Institute name badge

What Your Character Knows:

• You think it is Saturday.
• You think you've never seen the players before in your life.
• You don't know what Doctor When will be demonstrating. You've been so focused on your little part of the endeavor that you don't know the "big picture" (and Doctor When is very secretive).

Puzzles At This Site: none in this event

Where To Get Materials:

• Chairs and tables onsite
• Everything else from GC HQ

Setup Instructions:

• Set up chairs and tables outside of Institute
• Place a pile of lanyards on the table

Handout Instructions: The interaction should go something like:

RECEPTIONIST: Good morning. I see you're on our exclusive guest list. Have you completed your non-disclosure agreement and liability waiver?

VISITOR: What?! We gave them to you yesterday.

RECEPTIONIST: That's impossible. We just opened registration this morning.

VISITOR: I swear. I handed them to you myself.

RECEPTIONIST: Sir, I assure you I've never seen you before in my life.

But I wouldn't worry about it. Sometimes the lab equipment leaks a wee bit of radiation that causes people to have déjà vu. And elephantitis. Well, hardly ever. The elephantitis that is.

And here are your security badges. I see you already have lanyards. Welcome to the Trenchwood Institute. Prepare to be amazed! Please step over to one of our photographers so that they may record your participation in this historic event for all posterity.

The receptionist hands over a packet of security badge inserts. The visitors take the pack and pass through the doors.

Site Close Down:

• Join the presentation inside 3.01 Introductory Lecture 1, Reprise
• Return your name badge(s) and lanyard to GC HQ at the end of your shift

Other Instructions:

• Stay in character.
• Except ... if a team says "time out," break character and help them.

Detailed Description

The players sign in, get their badges, and then enter the Institute.
