Captain Psycho 2

The Nostalgia Room
A tale By Captain Psycho 2

"OK, I'm ready"
I knew he wouldn't say anything different. "You know the rules, only about thirty minutes in and out." I say that with a sense of authority, and Assuredness, but I know that wont make this any simpler. He, Alan, turns the door knob and looks into the room. I see a simple abandoned apartment, he must see the same thing at this point. He enters, and as he closes the door a commlink opens. "Wow this smells just like my old dorm room."
"Has the room changed at all?"
"Not yet, except the door looks very familiar." Good, this is what we wanted, enough time to collect data and leave, "Alan, is there any objects around?" Silence, Maybe he didn't hear me. There is no reason to be worried. "Alan?" a few seconds of silence. "Sorry, I spaced out there, there's an old stuffed bear I used to own, on the ground" OK what does that mean?
"Funny story, when I was born both my mom and dad accidently bought two of the same, so I had two bears."
"OK, bag it, that's good."
"The carpet looks like one I had when I was a boy, and the bed looks like the one I had in high school. I think I've had a dream like this.
"Stay focused, do you see anything else."
"Did I ever tell you the story about the time me and my friends broke into an old abandoned apartment."
"Is it relevant? Please focus on collecting data."
"Sorry, This place reminds me of that. Kind of old and mysterious. How long has this place been around?" I check the file, I don't know if I should tell him, it could feed into his need to tell stories. "since the 70s, abandoned in 2014, no logs indicate anyone lived here." One minute of silence, I'm beginning to worry now.
"Wow, imagine how many people have lived here. Oh wow, my old baby crib."
"Ok, you've been in there long enough prepare to leave."
"Did I ever tell you about the time when"
"Alan you need to leave, focus on leaving"
"Its only been , what, 20 minutes come on lets collect more samples."
"You can tell me old stories of your life once you get out of there"
"I don't even know why we are here?"
"Its a research mission, We have enough data please leave."
"I just noticed my old crib as a baby is here."
"I know, do you see a door."
"My old stuffed bear is in it, do you know I actually had two of those?"
"Yeah, OK, try and get some sleep bud."
"OK, I will… See you in the morning"
