Turn Two: New ConnectionsSector A:Harvey roots through the weapons locker some more. Once again, he benefits from his knowledge of firearms and how they operate (+1), and manages to find a little emergency ammo stashed away (7+1), in a metal box labeled "
EMERGENCY ONLY|HEAVY ORDINANCE". He finds a box of 12 shotgun slugs nd a full magazine of armor-piercing pistol rounds. It looks like most of the hard hitters have already been snatched up by someone else.
He then checks the guard-station security cameras, and finds four appear to be working (9). One shows the level one cafeteria, where two scientists and another guard are hurriedly carting out as much food as possible. Another overlooks the corner of the hallway where Reaney and the dead scientist are. The watches over the level one lobby, including the elevator to the other levels. The fourth peers into a conference room, where four researchers appear to be whispering something to one another.
"
This man died when the ceiling collapsed, crushing his skull. But that doesn't change the question what caused the ceiling to collapse? I'm going to take a look."
Callum Reaney attempts to arrange some furniture and storage boxes from the surrounding rooms together. He manages to stack them up to a good six feet before the stack topples (4). He leaps out of the way, but a desk falling from top of his pile crashes through a window looking into the office of "Dr. Miguel de Soto". A few of the glass shards from de Soto's window fly at Reaney's leg, but they only cause a few light cuts.
Sector B:"
Hmm, not much use. If anything was going to jump me I would have vied for some... more reactive chemicals."
Cion Traber starts up the console, and, applying his skill with machines (+1), begins searching through the server files. He eventually finds a folder titled "Sector ☐" - the designation of the sector appears to be displaying incorrectly. Maybe they just didn't put all the Greek letters in their character encoding. Why Greek letters, anyway? Out of curiosity, he clicks to open the folder, which then asks him for a password. After guessing a few times and failing, the monitor displays a "Security Breach" screen and locks out the terminal (4+1).
Administration:"
Oh, son of a cucumber..."
Dr. Brenlyn takes a moment to pause and memorialize his precious electronics, then slides his phone back in his pocket. He heads down a few halls to the train station. He looks around and shouts, "
Anyone else alive in here? - although his voice is sort of shaky from his recent ordeal, his leadership abilities give him the confidence to project clearly (+1). Someone yells back to him from a tunnel on the other side of the station, "
Hey! Is that that old guy who runs the place?" (1+7). While incensed by his attitude, Brenlyn is happy to find another person alive. He runs around the corner and halts in front of the man. He is tall and lanky, wearing a technician's tool belt and blue shirt, and a nametag giving his name as "Andy Nielsen".
Sector E:"
S&*#." [sic]
Dr. Drake picks up Dr. Benson and trys to find an infirmary. He chances upon a map on the wall, which directs him, conveniently enough, to the main Sector E Medical Center (10), where a few other scientists are already looking over some other injured employees of varying occupations. Drake lays the unconscious scientist on a sterile hospital bed, and another scientist, whose name is obscured, runs over to tend to Benson.
