Turn Three: AdhesionSector A:Harvey Bekter goes onto the intercom and tries to make his announcement. "
Is this thing on?" - Harvey just hears his own unamplified voice. He thumps the microphone with his hand a few times, and finally hears some loud thumping from the speakers. "
There we go. Attention all personnel in the cafet-" - "
WOOOEEEEE!". The microphone goes into a feedback loop (7), and Harvey just unplugs it and gives up on that idea. He searches under the scattered debris for more weaponry, but finds nothing (5+1). He ultimately decides to just go to the cafeteria off the lobby himself and confront the food thieves.
"
Shit! God damn it!"
Callum Reaney tries again to stack up some furniture. He makes it up to seven feet or so, and he has to climb up onto the first desk to keep building. Unfortunately, this unbalances the stack (3), which comes crashing down on him, causing him to smash against the wall and pinning his left arm under the pile of damaged office furniture.
Sector B:"
Ah, this place. Always loving drama and petty secrecy. Looks like I'm not going to be getting anything else out of this, and that's a problem."
Traber looks around the nearby offices for weapons and/or documents explaining what's going on. He chances upon the Sector B Security Station, which seems to be untouched (12). The very fortunate Traber finds a loaded MB5 SMG and an extra magazine, a GRAS-12 and box of shells, and a watermarked letter from Administration secreted away in a desk drawer:
Attention all security stations,
On March 23, 201█, several important experiments will be performed within Sector █. While the nature of these experiments is not unlike that of previous work we have done, by contract with ███████ █████ we are not allowed to divulge any information on these experiments outside of the top administration and relevant division of the science team.
These potential knowledge to be gained from these experiments is extremely valuable. Therefore, we have significant reason to believe that third parties may attempt to jeopardize the integrity of our contract with ███████ █████ by illegally infiltrating the facility and stealing information on the experiments.
Because of this, the security team has been ordered to increase its watch in all sectors and along all transportation routes within the facility, effective from the dates of March 22-24. Any person without a valid Gray Area ID card is to be seized and taken to the nearest security station immediately.
Thank you for your cooperation,
Grey Area Board of Administrators
Administration:"
My name is Dr. Brenlyn, Mr. Nielsen, not 'old guy who runs the place'. So I suppose you are a technician, then?"
"
Yes sir."
Brenlyn successfully begins interrogating Nielsen about the railway, and what just happened (8+1). "
Hmm... Mr. Nielsen, would you happen to know whether the train is operating right now?" "
I... another technician did call me on the radio to say it was running near Sector E, anyway, but it's late to get here. I was just coming to check up on it". Brenlyn pauses for a moment. "
I see. Oh, and do you know what's going on?", he inquires. "
I wasn't told about it. I'll bet it was those guys with the particle accelerator. That thing is nothing but trouble".
Sector E:Dr. Drake searches around the medical center for someone who isn't doing anything. He finds a technician (9) looking over a table, his back turned. "
Hello. Do you have any idea what's going on?" The startled technician turns around. His newly visible ID identifies him as "Julian Drummond". "
Oh, hi! I'm as lost as you, sorry. But I'm trying to piece it together. See, I'm using this radio here to contact as many of the guards and techs here as I can, and see what they know. I just managed to find another tech right around here, said his name was Thompson something."
Meanwhile, the newly-referenced
Riley Thompson puts his radio back on his belt and stands up. The room is sterile white and gray, with nothing but some interior windows and glass doors on two sides and a heavy door labeled "STOREROOM" on another to indicate it is anything but a futuristic prison. He glances down at a tipped cart surrounding by spilled cleaning supplies.
