Update - Locations; Speculations//Assumptions
Map, still unupdated. The Armory seems to be accessible.
The lights in the Rec room flicker suddenly, the television screen distorts with static and the vr simulations echo with a eerie sound, a whisper from far off.
>It appears that your section of the ship is experiencing anomalous events. Beginning lock down. Electromagnetic shielding in place. Radiation shielding up. Locking down labs, Infirmary, and armory. Shutting down power, deactivating LS-GFM. Power systems switching to internal back up. Severing all connections to inmate section and periphery. Automatic venting timer in place.
Find the source of the interference and eliminate it or I'll be forced to vent the prisoner section and all of you into space. You have until (Oct 31st). I'll be monitoring you remotely.
Good luck.
The VR systems, television and other electronic systems flick off as the lights change from bright white to dully flashing red. Armored shutters clamp down over the armory kiosk and the door to the back of the infirmary. Everyone's wristpad activates, displaying a countdown. This isn't good.
> The Anomaly has presented itself through the TV. Warnings about low oxygen and fuel. Contrary to Irony's belief that we're seeing a ship. The Tv ran on it's own accord(?), getting it's plug pulled killed the message.
> Toaster//Brother Lars cannot respond to any of our messages//wristpad or radio comms. Assuming we all know where each other are, Lars is out of our signals and we know it. [See: Tv link]
> Suits can always communicate with other suits. They have faceplates hiding emotions -- except for Feyri who has yanked her own faceplate into a permanent face-viewable position.
> EVIL ELECTRICITY! The wires serve as a vessel for the anomaly! Hence the reason why Steve turned the main power off! Now the problem is, how do we get to it?
> Proven. The wires act as a tool - attack of opportunity at an incapacitated foe, but how or who used it?
> The statue Azthor saw earlier may not be linked to this, somehow(?) IS LINKED TO THIS BUT NOBODY KNOWS IT BUT BROTHER LARS [TOASTER]
> For those still in the Rec Room = THE TV IS RUNNING ON SOME KIND OF EXTERNAL ELECTRICITY D:
> ONLY REMALLE'S CHARACTER//MESK KNOWS THAT THE WIRES ARE COMING FROM THE BRIEFING ROOM!

"I knew we were going to need a cutting torch." Feyri said as she kicked at the briefing room door.
"This thing is strangely locked down. Does anyone have anything to remedy this inconvenience?"
Alright, it looks like Jim is doing fine on the outside of the ship. All I can see is...a minor setback in photo-optics.
Anyway, does anyone have a clue what's going on with those assumed wires that attacked Milno? Or any clue on a man with a robe and a symbol of Steve -- Brother Lars? The Briefing room is LOCKED, and I'm not quite sure we can open this thing unless we break down the door.
Or...the wall.
Assess wall integrity -- is it made of metal? Is the door barring us from the Briefing room made of metal?
Intelligence - Is it feasible to attack the door and/or wall, with my Tesla Sabre? Because I firstly know that this thing closed on it's own volition -- judging by Steve's last broadcast, and I need to assure that what killed me [electric feedback] doesn't happen here.
Hmm, well the door and the wall are both made of metal, as is the floor and ceiling and walls of the corridor you're in. So attacking it with a Tesla sabre may be ill advised, though it's kinda hard to tell what the electricity would do in this case.
"Thank you, stranger! You've really done me a good turn with that! Now to extricate myself from this strange fellow right here..."
Extricate myself from violent acquaintance's grasp. Go toward the hole in the ceiling.
"I'd like to go in first, but any of you are welcome to follow me if you want to. After all, there's bound to be adventure up there in some form or another."
Climb up into the hole in the ceiling. Find the suspicious wire and attempt to follow it to its source.
[dex:4]
You untangle yourself and pull yourself up into the ceiling. There's barely enough room to move in here, you can only get forward with your head turned sideways and slithering along on your stomach, but you continue regardless, following the wire carefully with one hand as you slink through the claustrophobic innards of the ship. Finally the wire comes together into a bundle of wires which continue on for a bit before passing through a tiny hole in a solid metal wall. Hmm.
Faith furrowed her brow at the strange display on the TV. She supposed this was... less grim than before, at least. It worried her a bit that it had shifted so severely, though.
She also checked her wristpad for Feyri's message, and raised an eyebrow. Was there any particular reason not to break the door down?
Feyri-
No sign of Lars. TV Man seems to be winning now, though. Still no clue what it means, if anything.
Keep watching TV. Try to intuit something out about the situation.
You continue watching the man's struggles and, in the middle of a particularly hard jerk forward he looks down at his own chest. Hanging from his neck is a pendant. A suspiciously familiar pendant.
"Ah hell.."
Stacy and I'll be following the wire from the armory, possibly Mason and that hammer guy, Sambo, too. The Armory Master is not available, Feyri.
Follow Stacy. Use tiny heat circles to cut any wires that deem to attack us.
You follow Stacy up into confines of the roof and all the way to the end of the wire's path, or at least as far as you can reach as it is.
(( Not me. You all go get strangled by possessed wires without me. Be sure to yell out when it happens though. so we know where the bodies are for looting.... errrrmm.... retrieval and rescue. In fact, I'm getting out of range of any repeatedly used microwave amp as quickly as possible. Things happen with them, bad things. ))
"I'm going back to the other exploration team. The one not full of fuck-knuckles. Have fun idiots."
"Feyri, could you get back from the door for a sec? I'll see if I can smash the bloody thing down."
Turn kinetic amp on. Go back to briefing room door. Punch briefing room door as hard as possible with kinetic amp.If it doesn't smash through, punch it again.
[uncon: 2]
You swing and hit the door hard enough to make the bones in your arm vibrate painfully, but unfortunately you don't hit with the impact plate part of the amp and it has no effect. You grumble and take another swing.
[uncon:3]
The blow hits but isn't terribly powerful, creating a small dent in the heavy metal but nothing else.
On my way.
Go to Feyri, await kinetic amp test, examine door both before and after.
You join up with Feyri and watch as Sambo pounds away rather impotently on the wall.
Give the stuff back to Feyri. Turn laser diffusion all the way down, power all the way up.
"My laser could burn it down, maybe."
You hand the laser back to Feyri after adjusting the settings.
All right, his first idea was a bad one, but maybe if he sat and thought and used his Intelligence he could come up with a better idea about what to do about the lighting.
[int: 4]
Hmm you can't do much as it is beyond just very carefully scour the hull around you in a slow, sweeping pattern. But maybe if you could get a hold of some sort of spotlight or flares or something similar...something that would give you more light.
"Well. I suppose this is to store air or something? Wonder what's next."
Wait for other painfull modification.
You feel a couple more twinges of pain and discomfort but it seems like it's over. Hmm.
