Tutorial Part 1

I know that one of these is going to have to be created, so I think I'm going to do a basic voice over that is done in an annoyingly happy announcer voice.  It will start out by welcoming the new player as a homosapien, explaining that there is no need for alarm, that they have been placed in a very safe environment, and that all of their biological needs will be met with the aid of an life suit.  The voice will then say
"please do not make any attempt to remove the suit or to return to your previous home".
"In analyzing your optical orbits we have determined you are able to detect these frequencies of radiation, please indicate your preference from these options.  Please keep in mind that this choice is permanent."
At which point the factions which are in need of players will be displayed.  At the start of the game all three (or six) options are going to be available up to say 20 players.  Players will make this choice by moving to one of three(or six) possible doors using WASD on a keyboard or left control stick on a controller.  I think that the majority of users are familiar with this concept so there will be nothing else in the room.  Once they make a choice by pressing E on a keyboard or and walk through the door it will trigger the next set of "instruction" which will go something like.
"We now have some basic tests to make sure you are not defective in any way.  Please walk to the next room."
Once they have walked through the door it will close.
"Very good.  We hope you enjoy your new home.  If we may draw your attention to what others of your species have considered aesthetically pleasing."
This will then trigger a look around the room at several flashing screen shot pictures of the landscape.  Looking around will be accomplished with the mouse in a mouse keyboard set up, or the right control stick on a controller setup.  Once the player has looked at the pictures a new opening will appear.
Because this will be really long if I were to write it all out I'm going to break it up into sections.
