Fairly warm, but also fairly annoyed.
After a short bit of diliberation, and a few quick orders from John, the fact that being on an alien planet should likely cancel out the managerial status forgotten, a mess of broken chairs and dividers are cleared out of the way, some of it piled to lend support to the matinence ladder that Kayla and Rupert dug out from a once-locked supply closet, the door now buckled and the lock failing it. Jennifer was sent up the ladder with John and Dan holding tight to the metal legs, or at least would have, if she wasn't wearing a skirt. Kayla ended up attempting to climb the ladder and deactivate the closest ones for now, at least.
Hopefully with the nearest blaring alarm deadened, they could get on with the growing dusk, as seen through the some-what ragged roof, and get some sleep.

The start of it was mostly commentary on how crappy earth was getting, and some details on the alien planet part experinced though a VR system, and how thier group of friends ended up getting back together, the jobs that the others were supposed to get taken up by robots (As the first few had thiers taken without a chance to begin with, and the robots being one of the problems in the beginning.) And once thier (plot) group of skilled friends got all together, 'the government' sent them to the alien planet they were experincing through VR before, in giant 'plastic' eggs, that disentigrated after a few weeks, leaving them to restart humanity, and hopefully not pollute/let robots take over.
So, a tad different, but it just seemed the same to me, since the teams were trying to cram in as many different skilled people as possible. And the name of the book might not have been The Game. It's just what I remember it as in the back of my old library.)
