"Bravo 0-7, got eyes on the target?" Price's voice echoes over comms. A moment longer. "0-7?"..."Ghost?"..."Simon?"
Of course Ghost doesn't hear it. He's still trying to make his head come back to himself. He fell. That much he remembers, rookie mistake. What he doesnt understand, is why he's now in an enclosed yellow space, when he had previously been outside a bloody compound.
His head throbs as he sits up slowly. Everything hurts, like he was just ripped apart and forced back together in the same millisecond. He's got all his gear, his rifle, his pistol, his blade, his pack... he's geared still, so he wasn't knocked out and captured or something, or maybe he was and they were just fuckin' horrible at their jobs.
He groans as he pushes himself to his feet, gathering his rifle, checking the chamber, and looking around.
There's a constant buzzing from the old, yellow fluorescent lights on the ceiling, the carpet is wet and squelches under boot, the walls are a painful yellow to look at... it's hell.
He hears a faint dripping sound, looking around until he spots the leak of some clear liquid, he assumes water, but it smells overbearingly like cyanide. Ghost has a sneaking suspicion he shouldn't drink it.
He sighs and grabs his comms. "Captain?" No response. "Soap?" Static once more. "Gaz?" Quiet. He huffs, no matter, he's dealt with worse than a broken comms unit. He rolls his shoulders and begins walking.
As he walks, he notices a few things. The halls are... odd. Some doorways too thin for any person to get through, some wide enough for three schoolbuses to drive through side by side. Some doorways are mere centimeters tall, others are... shite, 10 meters? Maybe more?
"Bloody weird..." second of all, he notices literally no one. No signs of life aside from the occasional chair, or lamp, or... a children's slide? It's so bizzare.
After 30 minutes he starts to notice even weirder shite. A door will lead to a room far larger than it looks on the outside, or round a corner to see a room that's impossible to exist where the wall showed there should be none on the other side. The more he explores, the more non-euclidean it gets.
Finally, after an hour, he takes seat on a dry patch of carpet. "Alright. Comms ain't working. Fucked rooms. I've walked 10 kilometers and gotten nowhere, and there's bloody no one." He taps his fingers on the journal he's been using to map out the paths he's taken.
"Alright. Let's try the radio." He's trying to remain calm, he is. But it's starting to get at him. Everything in this place is. He grabs the small radio from his pack. He flips through every station, getting only static. He's just about to throw the damn thin in frustration, when he notices there's an entirely new radio frequency on the display of the radio. One that shouldn't exist. He hesitates, before turning the nob in the direction.
And just like that, UHF FM 550.76 MHz begins to relay... music. Like, the kind of creepy, old love music you'd hear in the 1930's in America. Ghost grimaces. This isn't what he needs... but... it's better than the incessant buzzing, and he's not sure there's anyone else to hear it and complain anyway.
With a final sigh, he stands up, and begins walking again. One hour into... God knows how long he'll be stuck here. All he knows, is he needs to stay calm. In situations like this... your mind is your worst enemy.

A/N: jingle jangle jingle, back when the backrooms were still new- jingle jangle jongle- anyways, this is coded to pull info about the backrooms from the internet to generate levels if needed, due to this it will assume there are entities because that's what modern backrooms are. If you REALLY don't want entities and just want that gnawing sense of doom hovering over you at all times? Enforce it in your chat memory please! On a side note, this song makes me so sleepy, it's on my sleep playlist.
