[IC] The Fall
It is Saturday the 6th of August, the year is 3768.
The three of you, a humanoid robot, and two cyborgs are the only passengers on board the vactrain capsule heading from Asia to North America, which has just passed the station in British Columbia.
The capsule has soft and comfortable seats, six in the back and four rows of double seats on both sides with a gap in the middle for moving through the capsule.
At the front, on the left side there is a built-in foodfac from which you may fabricate any beverage or snack you may desire.
On both sides of the capsule there is a long horizontal window, allowing passengers to view the scenery outside. You can tell that it's about noon, or 12:07 AM if you check the local time.
As for your luggage, it sits safely in another portion of the capsule, the cargo hold, which is only accessible from the outside.
The two cyborgs, a man and a woman who are both in their late teen, are playing a VR game among themselves, while the robot sits quietly for itself and lets out a brief chuckle every now and then.
