Does she have any relevant occupational skills that might direct the job placement people?

… High school education, pretty much? She likes math, English and… uh, she might like some sort of governmental work if it's available?

(She likes helping lots of people. She also like fixing systems where she can.)

Very well. The lady gives her a key to a room in the hotel, a form with a stamp, and a laminated card, and tells her she'll find pamphlets in her room explaining about orientation and a selection of clothes about her size will be sent up soon. She also says the Burger Buffet Bonanza™ is free if she presents her laminate.

She takes the key, says thanks to the receptionist, and then she goes to her room.

Does she spot any people on the way?

If she makes her way straight to her room, nope.

She does indeed make her way straight to her room!

… And then she looks through those pamphlets and at that form because really she's quite lost here. Then she might get some sleep.

The form contains the information she gave the receptionist, parroted back to her. There's a Burger Buffet Bonanza™ pamphlet with a menu, one Department of Security pamphlet titled 'Know your symptoms!' which is very threatening with the possibility that anyone or anything might go cubist and how to recognize it (flickering movements, disconnected thoughts, objects that don't make sense, geometry losing its Euclideanness), one "map" of the City, if it could be called that, and one final Department of Orientation pamphlet explaining that the City is happy to welcome new imports, they will be Oriented and Orientation is optional to adults but still strongly recommended, they will receive their schedule as soon as it's done, at the end they will be Placed somewhere so they can start their New Life in the City, full of Excitement and Opportunities.

Lots of capital letters, wonderful.

Does it give her any more information about cubism? Because 'turns into a scary monster that may or may not be on fire and lives in the Sideways' is sort of about all she knows, and she has no idea about… any of that, really? Can objects go cubist? Can animals go cubist? Do they even get animals as imports? (Presumably that's not actually answered on the pamphlet…)

Buildings can go cubist, but smaller objects or animals aren't mentioned anywhere. The pamphlet says one can catch cubism from being in the Sideways or interacting with anyone else who has cubism, that if one sees cubism symptoms in anyone else or oneself one should call the D.o.S., not panic, and try to stay away from the cubist subjects if they are not oneself.

… What's the map of the City like?

Weird, and somewhat spiral-ish, and fuzzy at the edges. It's divided into districts, but not a lot of detail into any of them is provided. Apparently the city shifts and changes enough that it's best to have an electronic up-to-date map and this is just a general overview of the physical layout.

Oh, well.

At least that means it doesn't totally shift around.

She looks around the room a bit since she seems to have finished reading the welcome material, then takes a look out the window. Anything interesting?

Inner city slum buildings, mostly.

She might just go to sleep, in that case. It's getting quite late, it was late when she got imported, and she doesn't know precisely when they plan on doing things tomorrow.

And in the morning: someone knocks on her door.

Fortunately, she gets up at a reasonable time, so she opens the door fully dressed… in yesterday's clothes, since she actually forgot that she was going to get some clothes and so she went to sleep and didn't even think about that.

"Hello?"

It's the clothes! And a timetable! Carried by a helpful-looking person with a smile.

"Thanks," says Rachel, taking them.

Is that all…?

Yes, that is all. The helpful-looking person saunters off.

She shuts the door, puts the clothes on her bed, and then goes to look at the timetable!

The first meeting with her group will be in Conference Room 2, which is just a repurposed hotel room, in two hours.

Brilliant.

She thinks she'll take a shower and change into some of the clothes she just got, then… she'll probably go look at the food thing? Presumably they do breakfast and not just evening meals.

The Burger Buffet Bonanza™ does in fact do breakfast!

Things like egg and bacon and hash browns, or like cereal, or both? (Or do they literally do burgers and nothing else? She doesn't know what the standards are like here, so…)

More like egg and bacon, and even more like the Burger Buffet Bonanza™ Breakfast Burrito.
