No matter how you enter the level, you will always start at the entrance. The Centre is an Orchestra Center of indeterminable size that is currently in disrepair with damaged white ceilings and multicolored walls. The facility contains many "Waiting Room Type" decorations; it contains Vending Machines, Coffee Machines, and Water Dispensers that restock themselves whenever a clock strikes 2:32pm.

<Commence>

<11:12 PM > Lukas Gerhard - 2.29mi Deep: "Hey HQ, what do you call a fish instrument?"

<11:12 AM> M.E.G. Navigation Agent: "What?"

<A slight "heehee" can be heard, presumably from Lukas.>

<11:12 PM> Lukas Gerhard - 2.31mi Deep: "A Bass!"

<Lukas and the M.E.G. Agent slightly chuckle.>

<11:13 AM> M.E.G. Navigation Agent: "Anyway, how are your rations?"

<11:13 PM>Lukas Gerhard - 2.32mi Deep: "Okay; I- What is that soun-"

<Loud crashes can be heard as the earpiece falls on the ground. Many footsteps are heard.>

<Lukas yells in pain as the sounds of strings breaking and wood snapping happens.>

<An ominous "OOOM" sound happens, as a girl speaks loudly:>

???: "The Main Event will now proceed. Follow me, you big ol' String Bass." <REDACTED>

<About 2 minutes later, an Orchestra is heard playing at a volume of around 400db. The M.E.G. Agent listening died due to extreme sound projections.>

<END LOG>
