Everyone
It has been two weeks since you were rounded up and sent to this shelter, and, obviously, it's dawned on you all that those soldiers aren't coming back. While you can't be completely sure why, it's probably safe to assume the worst. Also worrying, however, is the fact that this place was designed for, at your best guesses, two hundred people, and its food stores are almost completely exhausted, despite there only being six of you. Either the government thought they wouldn't actually have to use this building, or Ted from storage was god-awful at math. Either way, you're all unsure of your next course of action; it'd probably be best to stick together, but nobody's quite sure what the world outside that sealed door is like.....

The Shelter Itself
The refugee center you're situated in is enormous. The entrance room is a large lobby up front, complete with two office cubicles, most likely for receptionists or secretaries. Nothing of interest is here, unless you want a potted plant or now-useless telephone. Behind this is a massive commons room, with high a high ceiling and multiple doors, containing rows upon rows of military-style cots and footlockers, six of which you all occupy at night. Two doors on either side lead to the storage rooms, which used to contain your meager food stores, now only home to rows of empty crates. Finally, the door at the opposite end of the commons room from the lobby, a large steel object, has been sealed since you arrived. It's emblazoned with the word ARMORY, and there's a slot for a keycard in the middle.

Points of Interest
-Radio: A large radio, with the markings of the U.S. Army. So far, you've checked all the channels, either getting static or useless automated emergency banter. Perhaps more could be heard at a later date?
-Lockers: There's a row of lockers on one side of the commons room, covered with padlocks. This means they may have been used to store the belongings of soldiers, if you could get inside.....
Entrance: The big door that keeps you safe from the outside. It's at least ten feet tall, and retracts into the wall when a button inside the front cubicle is pressed. You may have to exit soon to search for something to eat.

(Quick intro thing!)

Ivan smiled to himself and walked towards one of the lockers. "Let's see what's in here shall we." He said as he began picking the lock of one of the padlocks.

The last couple of days felt surreal despite Virgo living through every waking moment of it. She lacked sleep and comfort after being stripped away from her work and family, and though she didn't make many friends on the job nor was her family all that close to her, she still couldn't believe that was all behind now. That all that she had worked for and thought was important was no longer such.

Virgo felt sick the whole ride to the shelter and had little signs of lightening up. She wasn't hungry nor did she feel like she could stomach anything down, but she new she had to eat something eventually. That'd be a matter she'd settle later. At the moment she was absorbed by lethargy and merely wanted to sit alone after the long, silent bus ride. Ivan, whose name she learned on the trip, made his focus to the lockers while Virgo went to one of the empty cubicles, removed her green visor, untied her bun letting the hair flop down to her shoulders, and put her hands over her eyes. This couldn't be happening.

Dennis awoke with a jolt, he immediately reached for his non-existent 22. pistol that he usually keeps tucked into his coat pocket. He felt so... naked without it, like not finding your dog sleeping quietly at your feet or having your ID be missing, well the latter is kinda per-usual for him. Flipping his feet over the cot, running his fingers through his flowing blonde locks to push stray strands of hair behind his ears. Around him were surroundings as equally if not more depressing than how he's feeling this morning.

Honestly, if he didn't wake up here he would've thought the Armageddon outside was just his drug-addled mind creating the purple swirling skies, and causing the violent quaking beneath his feet. But alas someone was feeling kind enough to drag his unconscious body off his motorcycle to safety. He watched as the two other survivors passed by, paying no mind to him, but to the lockers that stood tall in the corner of the building. "Anyone manage to get a lick of sleep last night? I think it's these cots, my back feels as straight as plywood." Dennis cracks his back as he stretches from his cot. Slowly he marches over to the door, cracking one open he peeks out.

Early morning, skies aren't swirling purple like a fucked up Slurpee, but are the usual hazy morning-dew blue the normally are in the East Coast.

Ivan
[Rolled 17]
The padlock gives little resistance, opening with a satisfying click. You swing the thin metal door open, examining the contents within. A camouflage military jacket is hung up on a small hook within the locker, two large, zippered pockets dominating its front side. Looking down, you see two glass bottles on the floor of the container. Beer, presumably. Against regulations, maybe, but it's the apocalypse, nobody cares now.

Virgo
You retire to one of the cubicles in the front, letting your hair loose and pulling your visor off. How could this be happening? Everyone you know is probably dead, you're in a concrete building with a bunch of strangers and no food.....things are looking grim, to say the least. Before you put your hands over your eyes, a cursory glance at the cubicle reveals a standard metal desk, upon which sits an old-fashioned computer terminal.

Dennis
Your back is, indeed, sore as hell. Your trusty pistol, normally at your bedside, was confiscated by the soldiers for some unknown reason. You make your way to the front lobby, where Virgo currently seems to be on the verge of another little anxiety attack, before surveying the land outside the big door. You can't actually open the huge thing without pressing the button in the main cubicle, but you can see out the reinforced glass in the center of the steel object. The sky is blue, but something's....off. You can't put your finger on it, but it doesn't feel right. Off in the distance, down the lonely road, you can see the outline of a city. Brickton, or something, you believe.

After pushing on the door to no avail, he kicks it in frustration with the loud metallic bang echoing loudly in the lofty ceiling. "Feck. Right, anyone know how to open this? I mean it could be that bright red button over in the cubicle, but normally bright, candy-red buttons normally do bad things. I mean this one time-", Dennis then proceeds to go on a long, rambly story about how he and his buddy Keith Jim Slimm pressed a red button in this old bunker and it caused some new fangled police bots to awaken; you catch the end of the story though. "-as it turns out it was actually the basement of the local sheriff station, and not an actual military bunker. Needless to say, TruthRainbow was disappointed when we came back with the news."

Virgo stared into darkness letting the balls of her palm rest on her eyes. She could hear people off and about doing things with here time, and here she was self loathing. She felt mildly pitiful, but mildly didn't care enough to have strong feelings about it or anything happening. Boredom does strike, however, and she eventually moved her hand and stared at something other than darkness. She stared at the tan keyboard. Without really thinking about it her hand fell from under her cheek and pressed on the space bar.

Dennis
You kick the door, leaving your foot as sore as your back, before going into a methed-up biker-monologue about your past adventures, from when Old Bubba told you and Jim Slimm about the bunker, then Big Bixby tried to stop you from getting in and that crazy shootout you were too high to participate in happened and those damn robots chased you and Jim all the way back to the compound. Good times, good times.

Virgo
Boredom and curiosity tell you to approach the old thing, and you oblige them. Clicking the space bar with your finger, you're treated to a five-second, ancient startup sound before the terminal's dark green light bathes the cubicle. Text pops up on the screen soon after.

Zaweri stands up as he had woken up a couple of hours before. He reaches for his trusty hat to no avail. He approaches Virgo on the computer.
"I could try to hack that, if you want me to." He says as he stretches his fingers.

Virgo's eyes hovered over 'Emergency Procedures' and felt some despair come from her mind as she processed the implication that emergencies could happen. Her pinkie crawled over and hit the down arrow. The words highlighted lime green. Perhaps there was something hopeful in there. Her thumb hit enter and winced as new words came onto the screen.

Dennis, foot sore and back sore looks around at the other people quietly going around the shelter, opening lockers and hacking terminals like robots... or hollowed out shells of people. "Jesus. What is wrong with you guys, one moment you're crying about how terrible everything is, and now you're touching everything like a 5 year old on pixiestix. Why not get a plan together, shit." He then heads over back to his cot, pulls out a cigarette, and then lies down smoking in his cot.

"Shut up, dummy. We are trying to get out of here.
Zaweri resists punching Dennis.

Aaron heads to one of the unoccupied cots, he sits down and takes out his hunting knife out and starts inspecting it. It has a wooden grip with a brass emblem of a bear on it, the blade is pretty sharp with a serrated edge on the blunt end of the blade. He puts it away and starts to lay down. "Have you tried going through that door over there?" he says, pointing to the large door. "There's a button near the entrance." Aaron gets up and heads to the front cubicles, "Must be somewhere here..." he says looking in and around the cubicles.

Ivan gave a short chuckle at what Dennis said then replied "Hey, I'm just doing my job here. Besides we're gonna need supplies and these might hold something useful."
Ivan slipped a beer into his pack and then went to work on the next padlock.

Zaweri shrugs at the fact that his assistance is ignored, goes to one of the lockers, and tries to use his integrated toolset to pick the lock.
