A couple of days after the self-destruct sequence begins, a lot of things happen, nearly simultaneously. The prisoners who had been held by the skrulls are released (perhaps inadvertent, perhaps by the Manager), and the employees who had been replacing The Manager all flee, and are not seen or heard from again, unless they are unfortunate enough to run into someone along the way who has figured out what is going on.
At the moment when the prisoners are freed, the Manager comes back online, and a large sign appears in the lobby and in each room of the residence, including bathrooms, library, guest rooms, restaurants...everywhere one might look. It reads:
The Management wishes to apologize for the prolonged absence at the hands of the Skrull invaders. During this absence, the self-destruct sequence set in place millenia ago was automatically activated, and is completely irreversible.
Evacuation of the entire population of Here will commence in the next 24 to 115 hours. Anyone who has not evacuated by that time will surely perish. The Management urges all residents to gather whatever items they may wish to take with them. In each resident's domicile, a Chaos Cube will appear under a glass dome in the next 24 hours. Each cube will be labeled with a resident's name, and will transport the recipient and anything or anyone it touches back to their point of origin. Consider carefully whom and what you are touching when you touch the cube: the transfer is irreversible once activated.
It has been a pleasure serving you these past centuries. The Manager is available via the message tube for any questions you may need answered or any assistance you require.
