Party at the still, examine machinery, try and intuit anything helpful.
[intuition: 6+1]
Your intuition tells you that you should be spending more time alone with May. Naked.
[Team A Medic - Mesk]
"Hey! I know what that is! It's uh... shit. Gimme a moment."
Investigate organic soup.
You try to get some of the fluid in a beaker to examine and come up with not only some fluid but a handful of bones as well.
"oh."
Stacy, Team C DJ, At The Sink.
"Well, time to stop screwing around and get to work."
Go to ER. Look for surgery area, exercising maximum caution. Peek around corners before walking past them, for one. Also, watch out for floor-based traps. And ceiling-based traps. And wall-based traps. And door-based traps. Any traps, really.
You head past everyone examining the er rooms and for the door marked "Surgery". You try to open it but it seems jammed. You hear chain clinking on the other side. They must have chained the handles together or something.
Jim continues to check doors until either something happens or he runs out of doors to check.
You bash your way through into the rest of the rooms. You don't find any more bodies or anything interesting really. Guess flint got lucky. If finding a corpse makes you lucky.
If the room beyond is large enough to fit me, carefully force my way through the door. Then, go to imaging (also enlarging the door if I have to).
If not, go to the graveyard and start thouroughly combing through it, using heat and normal vision. Stop at anything even remotely interesting.
"Stupid colonists with their discriminatory architecture against big robotic suits."
You basically crawl your way around to the door to imaging and punch it open. The area is odd. There's no dividing walls or separate sections, all the imaging machinery is just sitting around in a big open room. And the way the beds for the various machines are designed and set up it looks like they were designed to transfer directly from beds, as though they expected their patients to be unconscious...or worse.
Not only that but everything looks very new.
Team D - Lukas - Hospital Lobby
Check whether there is a room that Lukas can explore without having to break down walls.
Well, you could crawl along like Miyamoto, but in terms of exploring in a sensible and non-idiot looking fashion, no, not really.
Name:Flint/Deeper Scum - Team C - Hospital, ER, door number 6
"Hmmm... They restrained them while monitoring them... And then they locked them in? Why would they do that? Does the disease provoke violence or were they experimented upon?" Flint thought out aloud.
Check the body for cause of death. Is it more or less decomposed compared to the miner on the first level? Then put the chip in my datapad and see what info it contains. Look especially for something that may detail the progress of the disease, what they did to the man, when that man died or got sick, why was he restrained etc.
"We've got a dead body here. Restrained to a bed. Along with what looks like a medical chart. Any of the doctors want to come check it out?"
Also, watch out for floor-based traps.
((What if they have an anvil ready to drop on you or a giant magnet on a fishing rod, ACME style? Or more realistically they might have put some corrosive substance in a bucket on top of a door or they might have rigged a giant superconducting medical magnet to pin you to the wall.))
Cause of death is hard to tell just from the body; mainly because it looks like someone filleted him. Hes more decomposed then the miners, so hes been here longer.
You pop the chip into your pad and it asks for a password. Of course.
Lars looked on, not hearing Feyri ask for a blessing as she is dragged off.
"May the light of Steve shine on us all."
Head down the ER hallway to search the next area. Search Surgery instead if ER is already checked enough.
The Er Rooms are all being searched or have been searched and whats worse, surgery is locked up! The existential terror of being unhelpful floods into every fiber of your being.
I'll come take a look, Flint. Not much more I can do here at this still, I don't recognize what they were using in the fermentation, especially now it's been used. Maybe if I had a mass spectrometer.
Go and look over Flint's body's medical chart.
Passwords. Locked. Data beyond your grasp. The pain. Sandstorm, deep hurting.
Assist Lukas with whatever it is he's doing for the next couple of turns. He can call my actions if necessary.
((Sorry for the lack of participation. I've been a bit on edge recently, and ER probably isn't the best place to get a calm, rational view of the world. Be back playing at my full arm-exploding excellence in a few days. Probably sooner.))
You and Lukas Bro out in the lobby, hanging around, too cool for work.
"So I'm guessing he's dead huh...well you have fun poking it for the cause, I call dibs on his belongings."
[b]Wait for Flint to determine the things he wishes to determine, then check the body and room for anything usable/valuable. should the body have nothing on it, stab it repeatedly with spoon in frustration[/b]scratch that, wait around until everyone is done prodding the dead for his secrets, then claim my prizes
You wait for some sort of hypothetical future where your team mates aren't constantly desecrating the dead. Its bound to happen eventually, right?
Right?
"Yeah, it's pretty odd. I saw how it was different looking from everything else in here and I thought that it might have been a false wall or hiding something. Anyway, just give me a sec and I'll see if I can find if the doctors hid anything here, and then we'll head back."
Examine the entire wall closely with both my eyes and hands, searching for signs where there could be a false section, hidden door or secret panel. If I find nothing at all, then head back to link up with the others with Feyri.
You look around, running your gloved hands over the wall and tapping on it, trying to find a hollow space somewhere. You don't find anything. You guess that this place just got expanded in the resent past. An unsettling coincidence.
You join back up with the rest of the forces.
Investigate plastic of the general vicinity.
It's very plastic...y.
[Team B Leader=Milno]
Check the exterior of the hospital for anything that might have been missed.
You head back outside and look around. Hmm, the courtyard here, the walls look pretty new now that you think about it, newer then the ones in the halls at least. Maybe the courtyard was expanded recently?
