  (first opening the Green Commercial Station door)
  
  Green Commercial One is one of the oldest stations on the Transit web. Although it has been refurbished several times, its age still manages to show through the layers of tile and paint. The platform opens out at the middle to a lobby area which is dominated by a row of automated doors to the south, which lead to stairways up to the main station. The flow of commuters moves steadily through these doors. The floor and walls are both extremely scuffed duramex nanotile, and the station name (Green Commercial One) is indicated on a large plaque set into the walls. The platform abuts the Transit web to the north, now empty.
  
  You can see a Transit Map here.
  
  You can go south through the Green Commercial Station door to Green Commercial Station from here.
  
  There is a Public Surveillance Notice here.
  
  The automatic door slides closed.
  
  A light grows in the tunnel. With a deep thrumming and the whoosh of displaced air, the Transit Capsule slides smoothly into Green Commercial Platform and comes to a stop, hovering in the Web. The doors slide open and a few commuters enter and exit the capsule.
  
  > examine the walls
  Metal, perhaps a meter by five meters, the plaque reads "Green Commercial One" in standard Transit Helvetica font.
  
  > Go north
  You enter the Transit capsule.
  
  A fifty-person maglev Transit capsule. You're standing, holding on to a strap. Through the windows you can see the Green Commercial Platform.
  
  There is a Public Surveillance Notice here.
  
  A few commuters get on and off the Transit capsule.
  
  > wait five minutes
  A few commuters get on and off the Transit capsule.
  
  A few commuters get on and off the Transit capsule.
  
  The capsule doors slide shut. The humming noice increases in volume, and the capsule slides out of the station, gathering speed as it goes, and slides into the tunnel.
  
  You hold onto your strap as the Capsule rapidly accelerates.
  
  It is now 7:44 am.
  
  With a deep thrumming and the whoosh of displaced air, the Transit Capsule slides smoothly into Green Residential Platform and comes to a stop, hovering in the Web. The doors slide open and a few commuters enter and exit the capsule.
  
  > go to the east
  You exit the Transit capsule.
  
  Green Residential's platform serves mostly residential commuters. There is an exit at the center of the platform which leads east through a set of closed automatic doors to a stairway leading up to the main station, just next to a large plaque with the name of the station on it. The platform abuts the Transit web to the west, where a Transit capsule hovers impatiently. The capsule doors are open.

  > go east
  (first opening the Green Residential Station door)
  The Eye Scanner laser delicately probes your iris, and the doors slide smoothly open.
  
  This is a utilitarian shelter intended mostly to keep the rain out of the Transit System. A stairway leads down to the autodoor leading to the Transit platform and an exit leads east to the street.
  
  You can go east to Primrose & Cedar and down through the Green Residential Station door to Green Residential Platform from here.

  > go east
  This staid neighborhood intersection of Primrose Lane and Cedar Street fronts the local Transit station, Green Residential. The station entrance is to the west. Primrose Lane continues to the south, and Cedar Street continues to the east.
  
  The Reserve Bank Spacescraper is visible in the distance, rising over the low skyline.
  
  You can go north to Green Residential Park, south to South Primrose Lane, east to East Cedar Street, and west to Green Residential Station from here.
  
  There is a Public Surveillance Notice here.
  
  You hear a very quiet beep from somewhere you can't identify.
  
  > Go south
  Primrose Lane continues to the north. To the south is a boarded-up empty house; sumac plants can be seen peeking over the top of the dilapidated fencing. The fence has a plastic tarp strung behind it which prevents you from seeing much of the house. To the west is a single-family home with a large warning sign and an enormous dog on the front lawn. To the east is a three-family residence's front path.

  > Examine newspaper
  The local newspaper, printed on plasfax. Some retro individuals still prefer to hold their news in their hands.
  
  [If you want to read the newspaper (as opposed to just looking at it) try READ NEWSPAPER.]
  
  > read it
  Today's front-page headline is: Homeland Security convention to be held this week at the Reserve Bank Spacescraper. "The best and
  the brightest of the various Homeland Security agencies will meet in the Reserve Bank Atrium this week to receive presentations on new security initiatives and to discuss the state of the art in security technology."
  
  The next headline reads: Soldiers begin to experience
  breakdowns.
  The story itself continues: "The parents of several deployed American military personnel have raised concerns that their children appear to be losing touch with reality. Government refutes these claims with statistics showing that 97.2 percent of deployed American service personnel are safely medicated." At the bottom, a small postscript reads Would you like to know more? [LINK]
  
  Reading the story about the Homeland Security convention, the thought of all those Homeland Security drones in one place makes you grind your teeth. Then, however, a vision of all those heavily-secured workers with dead MitKlein bottles replaces it, and you have some difficulty wiping the resulting smile from your face. If only...
