[Team A Leader, Jim - Main Elevator]

"'Jimothy'?" Jim sighed and shook his head.

Jim proceeded to take care of the door in his usual manner.

[Caellath]

[Team B Leader=Milno=By LRC's door]

Milno stared at the welded door for a moment before moving away as Jim moved in to take care of the door his own special way.
"Command, the door to LRC from our side is welded shut."

Warn Command. Stay a little back from Jim and prepare to react evasively if bad shit happens.

[Remalle]

Ready the cutting torch in case Jim fails to brain through the door.
"Yeah, you have a problem with me using your full name?  I won't if you do."

[SeriousConcentrate]

"...My name is James..." Jim said, shaking his head.

[Remalle]

"Oh.  Ok.  I won't call you Jimothy if you feel that strongly about it."

[Zako]

Bishop took a few deep breaths to calm down, fingers still tingling.

"Just so you know, there was likely enough radiation in there to kill us in minutes, if not seconds. Anyway, there's no way anyone's going to be alive in there, so it's clear. Let's just keep moving."

Hit the road and head to the next room.

[IronyOwl]

((Actually, I think that was only double a harmless but cancer-risk-increasing dose. I'm not entirely clear, though.))

"Er, I'm not so sure of that- I think we were shielded enough to not die instantly, at least, and I'm guessing Command's not going to want a room left blank just because there's no survivors.

Uh, Command? You've been following this, I assume?


...also I never knew your name was James, Jim."

Ask for clarification, consider implications of 50 REMs on us. Also consider how much radiation it would take to pierce our suits at that magnitude.

[Yoink]

((If the average inmate lives long enough to suffer from our recent dose of carcinogens I shall be rather surprised... Unless, of course, we fail to get out quickly and end up suffering acute symptoms on the spot. ))

Well,  I guess I'll just have to do it the old fashioned way.
Make a running jump across the gap if it is possible. Else, try the console again.
What could possibly go wrong?

[SeriousConcentrate]

"...Who did you think was messaging you then, Faith?" Jim said, laughing slightly. He'd sent her a few messages about the tournament with the name 'James Kelly' headlining them...

[IronyOwl]

"Oh, hah, that. Yeah, guess I just sort of spaced that out...

...

Uh, if it's not too personal, why does a clone have a last name? No offense or anything, I'm just curious."

[Radio Controlled]

Spoiler: radiation is bad for you (click to show/hide)

1 rem received in a short period or over a long period is safe—we don’t expect observable health effects.
10 rem received in a short period or over a long period is safe—we don’t expect immediate observable health effects, although your chances of getting cancer might be very slightly increased.
10 - 50 rem received in a short period or over a long period—we don’t expect observable health effects although above 10 rem your chances of getting cancer are slightly increased. We may also see short-term blood cell decreases for doses of about 50 rem received in a matter of minutes.
50 - 100 rem received in a short period will likely cause some observable health effects and received over a long period will increase your chances of getting cancer. Above 50 rem we may see some changes in blood cells, but the blood system quickly recovers.
100 rem received in a short time can cause observable health effects from which your body will likely recover, and 100 rem received in a short time or over many years will increase your chances of getting cancer.
1,000 rem in a short or long period of time will cause immediately observable health effects and is likely to cause death.

Short version: we're not screwed (yet), but don't go about having children before the doc can fix the mutagenic damage from the radiation.

'Good job back there you guys, much more radiation and we'd be... well, we wouldn't be better for it, that's for sure.'

On Mission control channel: 'Command, you probably saw what just happened. Do you have any anti-radiation tools for us, or should we divert and rendezvous with A and B in LRC?'

Pry open a few more closed containers. Think what could cause that much radiation that would be kept in a place like sterilization.

((By the way, didn't we see anything of Sterilization when the doors opened?))

[SeriousConcentrate]

"It's the name of the Original. One of us thought it would be nice to have names instead of numbers, and a few of us agreed with her. I chose the middle name of the Original; those of us who chose names decided to just use his family name. In the end, all of us - counting previous and future generations of that line - are all part of the same family." Jim shrugged, even though Faith had no way of seeing him do that given their relative locations. "I don't think that I'm anything like the Original, though. Before this platform, I might have had the closest appearance to him of the twenty-six of my generation, but I'm pretty sure his existence and beliefs weren't colored by the fact he was a clone." He'd accepted that a long time ago, but it was only recently he'd decided to not let that be his entire life. Assuming he survived long enough, he'd grow beyond being #19. He'd make sure of it.

[Tiruin]

((Deadly stuff happens when you're away.

Hooray.))

[Zako]

"These suits are not as protective as you think they are, not in the slightest. The alarm you were getting was how much radiation was getting THROUGH the suit, not what's actually outside it. We'd be toast if we walked in there wearing just these, and keep in mind that even if we don't die immediately we'd probably be weak as puppies for the rest of the mission from radiation sickness, and this is only the first floor of seven.

Anyway, theres no way anyone is getting through that door now, it's sealed off pretty much for good now. You'd need some high power shit to get through it now, as well as quite some time, which given the sheer amount of radiation inside, you will NOT have. If anyone is in there, they aren't coming out now and they are as good as dead, if they aren't already, which is the most probable scenario."
