You're hired! Welcome to Panic Delivery!
Congratulations, human! You have been selected to be part of our team of esteemed couriers!
Now that congratulations are in order, it's time for you to be acquainted with your main purpose - making deliveries!
Since we care about our employees' readiness, wellness, and satisfaction, we have worked ourselves into creating the most awesome Courier Handbook - courtesy of Boxy (myself).
Without further ado, let's get started!
The Courier - You!
Let's start with you - the human courier! Of course - obviously you're made like a bag of meat & bones, plus a "soul" (not guaranteed).
Part of your employee onboarding requires us to replace your face with something better - a self-illuminating, HUD-integrated bionic mask! This will let you see your overall health, arm strength, stamina, and information about your next task - besides having a customizable emoji for a face!
Part of your new face's functionalities is the built-in illumination - what you humans call "flashlight" or "torch". Since you're required to handle the packages with both arms, having these removes the need to hold a tool for lighting the way. Convenient, right?
You're also able to carry up to four items in addition to the package itself. Besides that, we're fitting you with the finest swag - all customizable! This is a story for another time, though!
The Lobby - A Courier's Home
Now that you're acquainted with yourself, the human, let's talk about where you first arrive after signing our contract - The Lobby!
Fun fact: Did you know you have your own pod in The Lobby, complete with amenities like a worker's performance screen, a compendium screen, an emote customization terminal, and a wardrobe? Talk about employee satisfaction!
Once you exit your pod, you are greeted by the most awesome employee lobby. Here is where you'll find a bar, poker tables, seats, and couches for your comfort. See all those packages on the conveyor belt above? Being a courier is extremely busy work, so it's important to know that you're prohibited from drinking or playing poker during your work hours.
Just outside the Main Lobby Area, we've set up a basketball court for your physical fitness needs. To the left of it is the "human cloning contraption", used to transfer your "soul" into a new body upon death. Don't ask us how it works - it just does.
Moving up the walkway will lead you to the Mission Control room! There's also a way beyond the basketball court to bypass the control room; however, you must get briefed with your mission before heading out there, so please don't go there!
The Mission Control Room - Briefing!
This is where the fun stuff begins, where delivery missions are provided and briefed to all human couriers - the Mission Control Room!
Directly in front of you is the Mission Select console. Here, you'll be able to select your mission for the day. Take note of all the details and make sure you understand them - all for your success and survival!
Feeling Lucky? Go to the right, and you'll see the Wheel of Panic! Be careful, it's highly addictive!
To the left, you have the radio, where you can contact any lost couriers in your group via intercoms, so you can help them find the way!
Behind the Mission Select Console, you'll find the chute where you can insert your hard-earned Griefcase. Considering that it may take you a while (and a lot of clones) to do this, don't mind it for now. We'll get there.
Last, but not least - delivering doesn't just mean bringing the package from point A to B; you need to be efficient. With that in mind, on the left is the Review Room, where your post-delivery performance is rated by our trusted board.
After selecting your mission, it's time for you to get ready!
The Pre-Delivery Area
This area is one I'm most proud of - the Pre-Delivery Area! Here, you'll find a shop where you can spend your hard-earned speetchy for tools and weapons to make your next deliveries more efficient and survivable.
We know you must be hungry from exploring - so we put a Banana Plant beside the shop, just for you. Be careful where you throw the peels, or you might trip!
To the left, you'll have a glimpse of The Dome, ever-projecting your group's remaining clones and lotsa awesome emotes.
Do you see that awesome truck equipped with a blimp? Yes, that's your vehicle! Look out for its hatch behind it - getting stuck under the door can be deadly.
Inside the truck, you'll be greeted by a remote Compendium screen, a Griefcase holder, and your Banana Plant. We believe in the saying "BYOB", so we put a plant there to make sure you don't go hungry during deliveries!
Finally, you're in the Driver's cockpit. If you're the designated driver, you're to be seated in the 1st seat to the left. You won't go anywhere without a driver!
And that's it for the first chapter of the Courier Handbook! We'll come back with the second chapter to tackle your first delivery! Bye for now!
Don't miss this opportunity, Human!
