Duncan’s eyes felt sticky and puffy as he came to. We was with the men in black, or at least, some men in black. He did not recognize them.
DUNCAN: ma… oh.. could … I need water…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the agents goes to a small refrigerator mounted atop a filing cabinet and retrieves a bottle of Evian. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
AGENT WILL: Here you go, Mr. Murphy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
AGENT LOCKE: Do you remember where you are, Mr. Murphy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
DUNCAN accepts the water, but feels upside down and backwards, like an absinthe hangover. He does not respond, just takes a deep chug. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
AGENT WILL: Mr. Murphy — Duncan. We know you are out of sorts. The effects will persist some time, but we are here to debrief you. In time it will all make sense. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
DUNCAN: All? I have no idea where I am. Last I remember I was sleeping in my apartment, felt a bit sick…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
AGENT LOCKE: You’re not sick, Duncan. You’re just a little disoriented by the insertion process. Drink your water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
AGENT WILL: Mr. Murphy, what we are going to tell you will sound crazy. You will undoubtedly not believe us at first, but that’s okay. Time will show you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
AGENT LOCKE: Please let us know when you feel ready to hear some pretty out there stuff, Duncan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
DUNCAN: [vacant expression]: I mean… hell.. Yes, please tell me what the fuck is happening, who the fuck are you, and where the fuck am I?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The agents exchange glances. LOCKE nods for WILL to take the lead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
AGENT WILL: Well, firstly, you are NOT Duncan Murphy. Or at least, you did not used to be. You were a man named Telly Squire. And you are from the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Duncan laughs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
DUNCAN: Oh, AM I? ffs… [smh]<\/p>\n\n\n\n
AGENT WILL: You are part of a classified government program. You were taken by force and have spent well over a year being re-conditioned, given this new identity, and… this is the part that you will have to find out for yourself is completely true…. You are in the year 2016. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
DUNCAN: …<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DUNCAN: What????<\/p>\n\n\n\n
AGENT LOCKE: Welcome to project Fox, Mr. Murphy. Duncan. We are going to give you time to rest. If you need anything, food, to use the facilities, or wish to talk to one of the agents, you can press the–<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DUNCAN: Wait, WHAT??? Are you telling me…. What?? I think I’m gonna be sick…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Duncan abruptly vomits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Welcome to the upside down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
