You wake up in a clean sterile room. None of your belongings are with you. You sit up in your hospital gown, looking around. There is a machine humming next to you. You touch the screen and a voice says 'Welcome to Traveler's Province. Please select the appropriate clothing you will wear at your Matching Ceremony.' You may pick a dress or a suit. You can even pick the color of the dress from Official-picked colors (red, green, yellow, pink) The plate on the machine lowers, then returns with your outfit. Once you are dressed, you are led to an air train. It is much like monorails. It's a very smooth ride, and you are sitting with others dressed like you, though the Officers in the train make it difficult to ask questions.

You are herded out to City Hall, with its bright lights and huge dome. You enter the rotunda, a large room with beautiful decorations and plenty of seats and tables. You may sit anywhere and eat the decadent foods, talk with your fellow matchees.

Soon, the Matching will begin. You will meet your match, and then the ceremony is over. You will be herded to the residential area where you will find your home, be given your pills (green, blue and red) and live long, healthy lives.

All questions to Officers and Officials will be answered with the answer ('You are in the Traveler's province.' 'We are going to the Matching Ceremony.') or with ('That is confidential information.') Basically, everything besides the basics is not answered.

But why are you really here?
