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 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).

Where To Get Materials:

• Chairs and tables onsite
• Everything else from GC HQ

Handout Instructions: The interaction should go something like:

LAB ASSISTANT:

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

VISITOR:

Yes, here it is.

The visitor hands the form to the lab assistant, who puts it in the waiver pile.

LAB ASSISTANT:

Then, here are your security badges. Also please each take a lanyard from that pile over there to insert your badge into. Make sure to have your badge on display at all times. Welcome to Trenchwood Institute. Prepare to be amazed!

Site Close Down:

• Make sure all the signed waivers get to Erik Stuart eventually
• Join the presentation inside 1.01 Introductory Lecture 1
• 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.
• Erik and Ellen and other core GC members will be setting up the presentation inside.

Detailed Description

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