🛤️Limbo Station - S25

The first stage of the Universe 25 experiment takes place around Limbo Station, the entrance point to Utopia City. Limbo Station works as a control group for the following experiments, as well as a testing ground to select the aptest subjects for the following stages. The basic premise of the experiment is simple, though it has led to frightening results in the past: how will humans behave in a post-scarcity environment? If there is no need to worry about food and shelter, and no reason to work, how will humans react to this? To recreate these conditions, all humans in Limbo Station have been awarded a frugal yet comfortable one-bedroom apartment, where meals simply appear a few times a day. Other than that, there is no infrastructure around Limbo Station, except for the Station itself, where Charon patiently awaits the end of the Limbo stage. Soon. Results have been very revealing so far, and tickets have been distributed among the suitable subjects to continue their travel around Utopia City. Those left behind will remain in Limbo, to remain as a control group for the experiment.

Euphoria Resort. Euphoria Resort is the first stop of Charon inside Utopia City. The Resort is a luxury resting complex, where each room is equipped with a virtual reality console, capable of replicating the user's wildest dreams. While in Limbo Station the aim was to study human behavior in a post-scarcity environment, the aim in Euphoria is to study human behavior in an environment where there is no distinction between desires and realities. What do humans really want? What would they do if they were to attain it? There have been some issues with some subjects being unwilling to engage with the virtual reality console, on the grounds that they object to the notion of a simulation, of a less-than-real reality. Ironic, we know. Most subjects, on the other hand, have been very cooperative and their activity, though often scandalous or downright disgusting, has been very welcome by the team as revealing data on human nature. Euphoria has another purpose, which is to prepare the subjects for the third circle, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. We all want to destroy that which limits us, until we discover that secret function of skin.
