[_DivideByZero_]

((Waiting on BFEL, Krath, and Harry Baldman))

[Krath]

Well hey, light helps. As long as it's not trying to kill me. First thing's first, use my new crowbar to try and pry open the panel in front of the door.

If that's successful, move on into the corridor. Carefully. If not, access the new apps on my datapad and reference what they can do. Specifically, the File Explorer.

[Harry Baldman]

Listen carefully. What do I hear now? Noises from all around me, listen for various ambient, far-off noises as well.

[Lenglon]

BFEL hasn't posted in my RTD in the last several days as well, and he's the only person who hasn't posted yet.

[BFEL]

((Oops, sorry for holding this up, was playing a lot of Xcom. In the future just assume I do something wacky if I'm the last to not post))

Try and form group from the friends around me.

"HIIIII Friends! We should go on an ADVENTURE!"

[_DivideByZero_]

((You posted literally just as I was about to finish the roll. Well then.))

Turn 8
Tower Status: Roaming

[3] Tiberias, remembering what he could about gun safety, released the magazine from the weapon and ejected the last shell still inside the chamber. The unused shell flew off faster than he could react to catch it. Then, he rubbed the grips and receiver against his clothes in order to get the blood off. Finished, he came up to Abram's side and fixed his sights on the small black mouse.

[6] Abram motioned to get away from the door, in case there was something more dangerous that was producing the sound. After all, why would it be running?

The mouse squealed and ran back out of sight. The trickling and sucking noises came much closer. A tendril with a blue glowing end started poking through, but both Abram and Tiberias fired reflexively--and missed. The tendril slipped back and the noises stopped.

[1] Guy, startled by the loud bangs from Abram and Tiberias' gunfire, jumped up and saw that it was now lit. He decided to form a group from the friends around him.
"HIIIII Friends! We should go on an ADVENTURE!"
Still screaming, he ran through the circular doorway that the other two had just fired at. Once he got through, he started yelling as though he found something.
"HI MR. HAND!"


[4] Neil poked around his datapad looking for useful programs and information, such as information on where he was and how the structure worked.

Unfortunately, his tablet had no root access, and the file explorer didn't seem to work as it requested access on startup. He also couldn't find any text documents from within a few months.

Out of luck, he proceeded to try to pry open the panel in front of the circular doorway. He heard loud bangs from behind it that sounded somewhat like gunshots. That probably meant there were people on the other side.
The crowbar wouldn't easily enter the seam between the floor and the panel. After some work, though, he managed to work the panel out by about a millimeter. It did not deform easily to create a spot for the bar to dig into, so it took some more time to finally lift the entire panel out. It revealed a reflective black dome embedded into a pocket below the floor, as well as some copper-tinted structures that resembled wires, or at least casings for them. Everything was fixed to a white board made of some plastic material, which he lifted out. There were four electrodes on the ground underneath the board and four corresponding electrodes on the underside of the board.

From: Dr. Janet Friedman

I am sending this to everyone because its important that we be careful here. Our squad hers noises coming from the ventilation shafts. It began after our technician stepped on a rectangle plate on the floor. It got pushed into the ground by his boot. Dont step on anything that doesn't look solid because we dont know what the security measures of the tower are.

[4] Maryne started counting the bodies laying around the room. Other than Toom and herself, there were fourteen bodies scattered around the floor, all arranged in various positions due to the zero-G. All wore military uniforms with yellow/brown camouflage with basic equipment and supplies. There was also a crate attached to the ground in the middle of the center path, which was covered in a green tarp.

She then climbed up to the ventilation shafts and pointed her shotgun down into it, carefully watching for movement. There actually appeared to be a swarm of small, rodent-like creatures moving through the shafts, although something heavier seemed to be pulling its way through judging from the sounds.

Toom you hear the woman you talked to earlier walking around... on the wall. You also hear the strange noise getting louder. It seems to be coming from all sides of the room, but it's loudest overhead.

He heard two bangs before, coming from one side of the room as if through the wall (the front side from now on).

[dewboy]

Um, why is it turn 8 all of a sudden?

[_DivideByZero_]

((I forgot to update the title for rolls 6 and 7))

[dewboy]

oh, alright. You had me confused for a second there.

[Persus13]

Find more shotgun ammo

[Oglaf]

Get Guy to shut up before he attracts more things. Toss a body in that room to appease whatever might be in there, then get the hell out and try to find some other area to explore that doesn't have monsters in it.

[Lenglon]

Maryne
Look at myself and the dupe (He said his name was... Toom, right? yeah, Toom), are we also wearing the same uniforms as the bodies?
"There's something in the vents, I need you to collect all the ,weapons, ammo, and other usefull gear from the bodies in this room and pile them up in the middle, I'll be watching for whatever is crawling around in there and keep you covered while you do."
Go to the ceiling directly above one of the hanging light sources, and then shift to standing on it, hidden in the shadows behind the bright light source to practical invisibility. keep the shotfun ready in case the larger creature reveals itself or the dupe gets wise.

((You are))

[Krath]

Remove the electrodes one by one, replacing them as I go, to see if anything changes. I should uh...probably find something non-conductive around here, too.

[Harry Baldman]

"Will do, yeah. Not like they'll need any of them, right?"

Loot all the dead people, stack the spoils high. Try my best not to be unsettled.
