Dan was the first to wake. He snorted as he breathed in and blinked, looking around himself. Where was he? What was going on? He had fallen asleep on the station. In his room... And he was in his... Dad's office? At least it looked like it. Had the station been some sort of dream? Maybe it had. He had been lying on a couch in the back of the room. The same place where they'd get together to chat about the story, plan things out, bring together all their findings and put the pieces together. The office was almost exactly the way he remembered it. Almost... But not quite. It was like someone had tried to copy it but didn't get all the details quite right. Sure the desk was still in the right place, the blinds were still closed to the rest of the office. The air still smelled faintly of cigarettes and wine, and his Fathers desk was still piled up with paperwork. But there was a number keypad next to the door that hadn't been there before. And there were books he didn't recognise on the shelves. Something felt very off. It was his Dad's old office... He had resigned from that job a few years back. So how was he there?
Dan sat upright to see someone on one of the other couches. A woman he wasn't sure he recognised. Maybe? Was she someone from the station. Certainly wasn't someone he had worked with on the paper. He would have remembered her. She was pretty...
Dan stood up and stretched his arms before walking over to kneel down, giving her shoulder a little shake. "Hey, wake up..." he said his voice hushed. "It's Dan Foster. From the station. I'm not sure how we got here but... something's wrong"
