the pod opens
In the corner of a dark room there is a glass pod. Blue light, wires going into it, and something alive inside that is not awake yet. The camera is already on him.
When the counter reaches zero the pod opens, the steam comes out, and he walks into the room. It stays where it is for the rest of his life. He can ignore it. Nobody will tell him who put him in there, or why.
There is nothing to explore here yet. Every number on this site starts the moment that counter does: the record, the memory, the wallet. Nothing is written before he is.
