Dominic: It's been a long time since I've been sent on an exploration mission. It feels as if the Major Explorer Group is running out of new lands to explore. I'm excited to finally embark on a new adventure, along with my newfound abilities. I feel a bit rusty, since it has been so long since I've done something like this. Thankfully, I'm not alone in this endeavor, as my close colleague, Jasper, will be accompanying me, and it still is good for me, even though he is lesser experienced.
Jasper: This is the first time I've explored a new level at all, I feel very nervous, am I really safe with you Dom?
Dominic: You'll be fine. I'll be with you the entire mission. All you have to do is to hold my hand during the noclip, so that you won't be left behind.
Jasper: I still feel nervous about everything else though. *holds Jasper's hand
Dominic: Alright, here goes nothing.
Both, in unison: What is this place?
Jasper: There are supercars everywhere! I LOVE these!
Dominic: Don't be fooled. Remember, we're in the Backrooms. Anything can happen, nothing is uniform. We should keep moving.
Jasper: What do I do if I want to survive?
Dominic: Do NOT stray away far from my sight, always watch your surroundings, and please do not run fast.
Jasper: I need to test out our comms here. It seems like they are... working fine.
Dominic: This seems like a relatively safe place. I guess we can be free to explore and do anything. But remember, don't let your guard down.
Jasper: It will be fine, as long as I follow your instructions, right?
Dominic: Yes. There are so many things we can do and test out here. It can be from testing out the accessibility of the vehicles, exploring to see more areas, scouting around for dangers and entities, collect statistical information such as temperature, test the feasibility of establishing a permanent settlement, and much more. This is a whole new level to be discovered, we can't be the only ones to explore it.
Jasper: I still wouldn't be here without you, partner. Good luck.
Dominic: Especially to you too, Jasper.
Jasper: I'm going to set up the beacon to establish a connection to mission control.
Dominic: Alright, we have to document everything that we find, and you have to say it loud and clear. Remember to set up the communications properly.
Jasper: I'll check if these cars can be unlocked... they can't.
Dominic: I'll set up the statistical paraphernalia, such as this thermometer over here. Then after all of that, we can keep moving.
Jasper: For how long do you think we'll be in here?
Dominic: It could be for as few as minutes up to several hours, even days. Let's hope we just make it out alive.
Jasper: Why are the comms buffering for so lon- Oh, there it is.
Mission Control: Hello, this is Mission Control, do you copy?
Dominic: We are Division 1F-LCM, currently at Level 220, over.
Mission Control: Alright, Report to me every novel detail.
Dominic: Copy that.
Two hours have passed. The two expeditioners had a mundane exploration, tinkering with small details to gather as much information as possible. So far, they felt secure, but it would all change when they would enter this futuristic hallway.
Mission Control: so to clarify, you are in a garage like area, similar to Level 22, except it's rather safe and sports heaps of luxury automobiles, however they cannot be accessed, some parts of the level are decaying and abandoned, it has the constant noise of air vents and fluorescent lights, you can hear sounds of sports cars in the distance, the temperature of the level is quite hot, and the level's appearance varies a bit across it's confines?
Dominic: Correct, commander.
Mission Control: Copy. Update me with any new information that you gather, you still have an hour before your shift can end.
Jasper: Wait, what's that thing?
Dominic: It looks straight out of Level 15.
Jasper: I feel like we should walk down further.
Dominic: I don't feel too good about this one, it seems like an exit to Level 15 already, ending our shift.
Jasper: Whatever it takes to know more, partner.
Dominic: It looks like a door to the end. Probably an exit to that level.
Jasper: I think we can investigate our surroundings and write down the details to report back to Mission Contro- WAIT, the doors are opening!
Jasper: Wow, a Lamborghini Aventador!
Dominic: Don't let your guard down.
Jasper: This large chamber... with only one car. How odd.
Dominic: It is a dead end here, we must turn back. We'll document it back to miSSION C(#@V-@V3?{
One minute later...
Mission Control: Hello? Division 1F-LCM? This is Mission Control, do you copy?
Mission Control: Do you copy, 1F-LCM?
Mission Control: It appears that a horrific tragedy had occurred... We must investigate the scene as swift as possible!
A small team of scout drones were sent to scan what remains of the late expeditioners. Due to Level 220's vastness, the drones took a long time to search for the bodies. After hours, the drones revealed that the expeditioners had brutally perished. The scene revealed that the cause of death was via vehicular manslaughter, as their bodies were marked by crushed bones and trails of blood left behind by tires. Due to this travesty, the Major Explorer Group declared that unmanned probes would now be used to explore and gather information about the novel discovery. After several man hours and used resources, Level 220 had now been deemed for pagination, with many employees sighing in relief after its declaration.

@Cvcar Yes, I get it, you're a nerd, and I actually think some of what you said made SOME sense but please do not tamper with the work of someone else without their permission.
Also while you're at it please state your sources too.
Really cool concept and level!

A level featuring supercars? Pretty cool (and unique might I say) if you ask me
One of the best levels that i read.
Oh, thank you!
