(11:30pm) - Blake wakes up in his room.

The small room was a dim-white color, almost reaching "gray" territory. The lights were hardly bright enough to see from one end of the room to another, but he could see enough to know that he was in an unfamiliar room. A night-table with a digital alarm clock stood to the side of him. This, no doubt, had been the source of the ringing. A few feet away was a circular window, no wider than 2 feet in diameter.

As more objects came into his focus however, he realized something startling. His feet were not on the ground. He was floating in mid-air, carried by nothing but momentum.

As he peeked through the window, his fears were confirmed though. There was nothing but stars and space as far as his eyes could see. Small pieces of debris slowly passed by the window, only confirming it further. He was definitely in space.

As Blake's eyes scanned the room for a door, he noticed one on the other side of the room. It was dark gray, and had a square shape, suggesting no one side of it as "top" or "bottom". Without gravity, it didn't make a difference either way.

Before he could wiggle his floating body towards it however, he noticed something else. On his left wrist. It was some sort of bracelet... unlike any he'd ever seen before. On the top was a screen, giving off the impression of it being a digital watch. However, it didn't display any numbers. All it showed was "- -". Two dashes. As though there was nothing for it to display yet.

To his dismay, there was nothing on the back, and the watch wouldn't come loose, no matter how hard he tugged. It was so tight that he couldn't even fit his finger under the strap.

The door didn't have any apparent knob. Though Blake had looked over the door clearly, he didn't see any way to open it from the inside...

Just then, a small button caught his eye. It was a dim red color, glowing a couple feet to the side of the door. It had not occurred to hm at first, but perhaps they were connected. The word "open" was printed just above it, as if telling him that it was his salvation.

As soon as his finger pressed the button, a speaker above him turned on. Out came a robotic recording of a female voice.

"You have selected to activate the emergency escape hatch. In 9 minutes, the hatch above you will open, allowing you and the contents of this room to be sucked out into the deep vacuum of space. If this action was made in error, please scan your Life card here. Otherwise, we hope you enjoy your stay in space. Have a nice day."

As soon as the recording ended, a metal box of some sort popped out of the wall by the button. It appeared to be some kind of key-card scanner. But before he could make sense of it, he heard a creaking sound come from above him.

In the center of the ceiling was a large hatch. This must have been the one referred to in the recording. A large wheel-shaped lock kept the hatch closed, putting a safe wall between him and outer space. But something wasn't right... the wheel was slowly turning, creaking with each inch.

He found nothing, however. Not even a single piece of lint. He had no items on him, other than his clothes and the strange bracelet on his left arm. With no other choice left, he had to search the room for this "Life card".

- Observable objects: -

Left side:
- Bed
- Night-table with alarm clock
- Metal desk
- Chair at desk
- Circular window

Right side:
- Wooden cabinet
- Tall mirror
- Bookshelf
- Exit door
- Key-card scanner

Ceiling:
- Emergency escape hatch

Wooden Cabinet:
- The cabinet was a few feet to the right of the bed. It seemed to be made of a strong wood.
- Upon trying to open it, he found that that it was locked. There was a keyhole on the right door of it.
- There was nothing else of interest on or near the cabinet.

Moving toward the bookshelf, he noticed something about all the furniture in the room. Each piece was either nailed to the floor, or built into the wall. Now that his mind was clear, it occurred to him that this was the reason nothing else was floating.

Bookshelf:
- The shelf had 3 rows of books, each holding 9 books. This made 27 books in total.
- The 4th book from the left, on the topmost row, was red. All the other books were grey.
- Each book was held in place by a clamp. Blake could only assume that this was to prevent them from flying out of the shelve in this gravity-free environment.
- However, it looked as though he could easily unclamp a book to take it out, if he wished.

However, as he began to unclamp the first book, he realized that it was actually gray. He must have misread what he saw, as there was only one red book on the shelf.

It was the 4th book from the left, on the topmost row. Looking at it more closely, he saw the title of it printed on the spine. It was called "Start Here."

The momentum of his push carried him quickly to the desk. Upon his arrival, he saw something interesting.

Metal desk:
- It seemed to be made of metal.
- There was a green 6-sided die laying on it. Oddly enough, it wasn't floating.
- Near the die, there was a brown dice-rolling cup taped to the desk.
- The desk had two drawers. A right one, and a left one.

When he opened the drawers, he was immediately greeted with a flood of pencils, paper, and other desk-tools, flying out due to the lack of gravity. The objects blocked his vision from the drawers as they spread out in the air. One pencil made its way toward his face at a startling speed.

When the supplies finally cleared out of the way, Blake could see into the bottom of the drawers. Inside the right one, there was an object taped to the inside.

Key:
- A black key, taped to the bottom of the drawer.

On his way to the cabinet, something occurred to him. The die had taken some extra force to remove from the desk. Why was that? Thinking back, the dice had not been floating in the air like it was supposed to. Perhaps it was magnetic? The desk was made of metal, so it was entirely possible.

Having realized that, he arrived at the cabinet, and tried using the key.

The wooden cabinet opened successfully. Once unlocked, the mere momentum from removing the key caused the cabinet to open all the way.

Wooden Cabinet:
- It was very dark inside the cabinet. Blake couldn't even see the back wall of it clearly.
- But from what he could see, it contained neat rows of vacuum-sealed packs, each containing some sort of snack food. They were all dry and dehydrated, as if prepared specifically to be stored in a gravity-free environment.
- The rows were all fastened to the floor of the shelf. However, there appeared to be something trapped under one of them.
