After stopping herself from having a near panic attack, Canada was reviewing her mental checklist of what had happened and what she had seen so far. This way of thinking was going to allow her to come of with a hypothesis about what she thought was happening to her. Her main objective now was to figure out more about this contraption. It had an image of her in this very room, so maybe there was more data and assets she could locate.
She had figured out the way to get the images to change, but she was curious if there was a way to locate any files or documents, and hopefully any videos. Instead of swiping her hand from side to side, Canada tried waving it from top to bottom. This caused the image to move to a section that looked like files, but the language... it was in was incomprehensible. Honestly, the shape of the text looked impossible to create on a computer, it could be drawn, but by who? A though for another time, what she needed to do was locate something more useful.
It felt like maybe about 45 minutes had passed since Canada made it into this room and she was really getting no where at this surreal contraption. Her previous attempts to navigate where not very fruitful and she was running out of ideas on what to do with the projector. Her last guess was to try and go back to the images and see of there was anything else she could use. She swiped her hand down and up to get back the image of her in the room and it worked. She then waved her hand to the left again and the image did change, but there was nothing really discernible in it. It was dark almost black, and the most she could make it was that it was no longer an image of this room. As she studied it further, it looked like it could be a still image taken of outside, since the ground looked uneven and rough. Right at the top corner, Canada noticed something, something that looked slightly familiar to her minds eye, but she still couldn't make it out or recall what it was but it was almost like the side of a metal container or something. Canada felt like she knew this item, but not sure how.
Okay, enough of this thing, I need to keep moving. There has got to be a way out of here. Canada thought to herself. She walked away from the projector and headed toward another dark archway. The layout of this place seemed to be one way in and one way out. Canada did her best to calm her self and push forward, especially since she had no choice. She slowly crept through the archway to another door, just like the first and as she drew near it began to softly whir and opened up.
She stepped through and she was outside, and it was exactly what the big window showed! As she drew in a breath of this outside air she began choking, she couldn't breathe. She clutched her chest and she felt something shift in her lungs, just like her eyes had done earlier and she could now breathe. Gasping for air she stopped feeling lighted headed and almost normal again. Canada was so confused and stressed right now. What is happening and where am I?
Almost as if she had been slapped across her face, Canada realized she could very well be on another planet! This was impossible, unbelievable yet plausible. But how did she get here and how is she able to breathe here? This were questions that Canada knew that she needed the answers to, but they would unfortunately have to wait as well since she need to figure out where here was and how to leave. Canada heard a sound that was almost mammal-like, but she had never heard it before. It sounded like some kind of creature that she could not see yet. She looked around frantically but she could not see anything even with her sharpened vision. She heard it again, but lower and the only thing that was stood out was that the tree with the orbs seemed to be moving. Canada slowly walked over to the plant if that is what is can be called and as she drew near, it made the sound again and she was right, the orbs did move and even the lights blinked in and out. It felt as if the vegetation was trying to communicate with her and eerily she had the feeling that that she understood them before this time.
Since she felt that she was in no immediate danger, she pressed on and walked further away from what she now noticed as the large domed building that she had just come out of. The building was tucked away in this small clearing just beyond a long of the long-leafed trees and the talking orb bushes.
