I gave my invitation card to the agent screening the candidates, proud that
my hand didn’t shake despite my nervousness. Plastic and completely
dark, you’d never guess its purpose if you’d stumbled on it by accident. The
agent waved the card in front of a scanner, then stared at his screen for a
second before examining my features. He didn’t smile but kept the same
neutral, professional expression his other colleagues also had plastered on
their faces. Seemingly satisfied, he handed the black card back to me.
“A non-disclosure agreement was given to you along with your
invitation to participate in the program, another copy of which has been
handed to you upon arrival. Have you read and understood it?” the agent
asked.
“Yes, Sir. I have read and understood it,” I answered.
“If you consent, please look straight into the camera. When the red light
turns on, state your full name and that you agree to abide by the terms of the
NDA as spelled out in the document.”
I turned towards the round camera hooked to some kind of rod. The
camera moved up by a few centimeters to align with the center of my face
before a red light turned on, indicating it was recording.
“My name is Naima Connors, and I agree to abide by the terms of the
Fourth Division’s Mist Project non-disclosure agreement.”
The red light turned off.
“Thank you. Please proceed to the next station,” the agent said,
gesturing at the counter near the two full-body scanners blocking the access
to whatever awaited us beyond.
I gave him a stiff smile and nodded before complying. Another man
welcomed me at the counter.
“Please give me your invitation card and all personal electronic devices
you are carrying, including smart watches, phones, cameras, tablets, and
anything else with the ability to record videos, audios, or images,” the man
said without preamble.
We had already been warned against bringing any such items as we
wouldn’t be able to keep them with us. I had only brought my phone, which
I handed over to him. An exhaustive list of all other things that weren’t
permitted were outlined on a display panel sitting on top of the counter. The
agent placed the phone in a brown envelope, asked me if that was all, then
sealed the envelope once I confirmed there was nothing else. The seal
looked like a small chip. The agent waved my card over it, causing it to
beep.
“Your phone will be returned to you upon your departure at the end of
the Mist,” the man said. “Any metal items on you, such as keys, should be
placed in this container along with your bag,” he added.
He placed my card inside a large, rectangular tray, similar to those
found at airports, then pushed it my way for me to put my overnight bag in
