"Well shitballs... THAT is going to be a problem. Guys, I found a HDDSM, but I've hit a snag. It's a lot bigger than I thought it would be, and with Jim's antics in the elevator, getting it downstairs and back upstairs in one piece is going to be a problem. Looks like I have to put my elevator plan in action sooner, but if any of you have better ideas, then lets hear 'em."

Bishop stopped for a moment to pick up whatever he had dropped a moment before and inspected it again thoughtfully.

"Computer, I got your package, thanks for the info. I found something interesting though but I don't really know what the hell it is. I would send a pic from my suit but you told me not to send anything to you so I suppose I'll just have to describe it to you."

Describe the strange machine to Steve for info on what it is exactly. Then while I'm waiting, wheel the HDDSM out to a suitable computer and plug that sucker in and check for anything already stored on it.

You wheel the HDDSM off toward the secondary computers while describing the bizarre machine to steve. You've got it hooked up to the first mainframe by the time steve replies.

>I believe you have discovered a Microwave oven.

You nod your head slowly and then turn back to the computer. Looks like the HDDSM is empty. Well, mostly empty. There's  something called "Mercenary's do anything for money.avi"

Push the crutch back in, grab the cable, wrap it around myself.  Try to climb up the ladder with Jim pulling, hopefully combining our strength to make it easier.

You hobble over to the wire Jim just threw down to you and fold your crutch back up before tying the wire to yourself. You take a deep breath, grab hold of the ladder and start climbing. [dex:3+1] With the occasional stabilizing help of Jim's strength you manage to make it up to the 4th floor.

((I knew it was a microwave by the Defrost option! How do we not know what a microwave is? XD))

...You flip your light amps on and blind yourself again.

"Graahhh!

Stupid lighting." Feyri said as she lowered the amplification of the amps. "It really must be stress, I can't even be sure if the ambient lighting is just enough."



"Alright now, don't hurt me, you robotic thing, you."

Approach Main Computer doors. But firstly, check for any signs of traps, motion detector devices, automaton kill machines, hidden laser ports...

And then check the Mech-thing if it seems to be hostile. Through any source of light or movement or sound. Wait...it is a vacuum. Well, it won't hear me then! Checking for light from the robot it is!

[Remalle]

Deactivate light amps.  Activate crutch.  Hobble about uselessly but hilariously, ruined leg flopping around like a glitchy ragdoll in a video game.

(Ok, I'm extremely tired and headfuzzy at the moment, could someone remind me where everyone is and what they're doing?  Cliffnotes version please, all the text ^ this way is making my attention wander.)

[Zako]

(Feyri is screwing around at the bottom of the base with that big machine.

Jim and Mesk are on the fourth floor entrance, derping around a bit.

Charro's corpse is on the fifth floor, slowly rotting away in a corner.

And I am busy discovering microwave ovens and hooking up storage devices and laughing at true statements.)

Bishop nodded and smiled. Oh, too true, too true. He deleted it anyway, but having the thing as a blank slate was a good sign.

"Ok, I'm heading to the labs to begin downloading data. See if you can find something to fix the elevator with, or whatever."

Delete that funny sounding .avi file and disconnect the device, then wheel it to the secondary computer station section, plug that sucker in, and start downloading data!

[Tiruin]

Feyri is with that big machine and heading to the Main Computer console.

Jim and Mesk are on the fourth floor entrance, hanging around.

Charro is on the fifth floor observation monitors, staring at the screen with his suit linked to Feyri's.

Bishop is discovering archaic designs of technology, in the data processing room. And having trouble with the HDD device thing.

FTFY.

There's something called "Mercenary's do anything for money.avi"

((At least save a back-up. Steve wants information. This is information.

Well, for Feyri and all other mercenaries.))

[Caellath]

Well, mostly empty. There's  something called "Mercenary's do anything for money.avi"

((@Tiruin: Ahem...Are you sure you'd really like to see what's that? I think you should delete it.))

[Tiruin]

Well, mostly empty. There's  something called "Mercenary's do anything for money.avi"

((@Tiruin: Ahem...Are you sure you'd really like to see what's that? I think you should delete it.))

((It's all about economics, what else could go wrong?))

[Spinal_Taper]

((It's all about economics, what else could go wrong?))

((I bet it's really, really boring. It probrably has some old guy attempting to stimulate someone elses mind.))

[SeriousConcentrate]

(Actually I kind of want to see what it is too, but on the other hand I'm curious about everything, so...)

[Caellath]

((I also think the GM may actually be trying to stimulate the gutter inside our mind, but if the archive was actually played, it would be either the Infection or a harmless video. Or both.))

[SeriousConcentrate]

(I'm with Caellath in that the GM is trying to make us think it's porn when really it's either the infection or a screamer video, but I still want to know. )

You cross the room, keeping your eyes on the machine as you do, and carefully examine the door. You run your hands all along the door frame, poke at the floor, wave your gun around randomly and insult the door's mother. Nothing happens. You try opening the heavy vault door. Locked.

You shrug and look back at the machine. It's not moving, making noise or anything else hostile. It's got a few blinking lights, but then again everything has blinking lights these days.

Deactivate light amps.  Activate crutch.  Hobble about uselessly but hilariously, ruined leg flopping around like a glitchy ragdoll in a video game.

(Ok, I'm extremely tired and headfuzzy at the moment, could someone remind me where everyone is and what they're doing?  Cliffnotes version please, all the text ^ this way is making my attention wander.)

You turn off your light amplification systems and extend your crutch again. You proceed to wander around in the most useless way you can think off, spinning and flopping your leg about randomly.

Delete that funny sounding .avi file and disconnect the device, then wheel it to the secondary computer station section, plug that sucker in, and start downloading data!

You delete the unknown video file and then begin ripping all the data from the computers. The secondary computer systems are all nicely linked together so you can rip it all at once, but it's going to take a while. The progress bar estimates 20 minutes.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Jim looks for items he can splint Mesk's leg with, and also asks Mesk if he can fix his damaged right elbow.

[Remalle]

"Yeah, let me take a look at that.  If the structure is similar enough to a human elbow I should be able to do something about it."
Hobble over to Jim and examine his elbow.  Fix it if I can by whacking it with my crutch.

((Actually, fleshtechs fix both robotic and human bodies.))
