Bishop was silent after watching the scene before him, before turning to the others next to him.
"Well... I think that it's official... I'm sorry to say, but Jim's lost it. Someone better check on him, I'll get this door open."
Search for a control panel which I can use to bypass the door controls and unlock it. If that doesn't work, then slice through the lock with my torch and then try.
You kneel down to get good look at the control panel and press a few buttons experimentally. It works, not it's just a matter of getting the door open. [aux:1] You manage to cross a few wires and put the door into some sort of lockdown mode. You grumble and groan as you drag your cutting torch out and starting to carve away at the door. [Aux:5] You slice the lock with the skill of a surgeon and fling the doors open with a smile. And then a corpse flops out of the open doorway and knocks you to the ground with it laying limply on top.
[Will:1] You scream. You scream like a little girl in pigtails and a tutu, flailing ineffectually like a starfish on meth.
Jim sighed and got to his feet. The first thing he did was close the door behind him, re-barricading it if possible to keep any other zombies from following him in. The second was find any corpses in the area, and if he did, dismembered them with the cleaver. The third thing he did was search the room.
You once again do the closest robotic equivalent of a sigh, a sort of low buzzing grunt, and sit up, hands on your knees. You look around and decide that it's probably best to get that door closed again, before things follow you in here. You grab a piece of rebar, part of the pile of junk that was barring the door before, and wedge it between the handles of the door before piling the rest of the junk back up. That done, you go about dismembering the corpses that lay around the room. There are a lot of them, most in beds, but a few scattered around.
At first you start by just hacking off their heads, but you remember that that didn't stop the one in the shower, so you hack their arms and legs off as well. The cleaver makes it easy, just 5 hard blows and then everything is done. You're about to move on when you realize you've left dismembered bodies all over the room and that, if they still rise, you'll be surrounded. You strip the bodies of any possessions and hurl them into a pile in one corner of the room, covering yourself in an even thicker coat of gore in the process.
With that chore done you start searching the room, looking in beds, foot lockers and the stripped clothing of the corpses for anything interesting. You find 9 datapads. Dang.
