"Oh, that's cool. Infinite chairs." We could make a fortune on office supplies.
Wait, even better! Infinite indestructible chairs. They'd make perfect construction material. Like tetris blocks. With wheels.
What am I thinking... they're infinite! We could make infinite chairs and have them collapse into a black hole!
No, wait, that's stupid. Those are office chairs... and everyone knows there's only one approved and sanctioned use of office chairs!
"Well guys, first I'm going to try and see how badly this place breaks reality. Then I'm going to see how infinite this infinite hallway really is. Feel free to look around those rooms in the meantime. Or, I dunno, do whatever. Just try to not get yourselves killed. And keep talking. That way we'll know if something weird happens to one of you."
Well, I've got some rope with me. You've never said how long the rope or the hallway is, so if you think it's appropriate, I'd like to try some tests:
1. Try to tie one end of the rope in the security room and the other end of the rope in the observation room in roughly the same place it should be in the security room. See if anything interesting happens.
2. Try to tie the rope somewhere in the observation room or the security room and then kick it to the blurry area in the elevator. If it can't reach the rooms, then try it with the blurry area and a door or one of the infinite chairs.
See if anything weird happens to the rope and the object it's attached to.
See how far the blurriness extends.
See if a laser can be used to cut the rope when it's blurry.
Once that's done, if nothing has exploded, ride a chair and use it to rocket-skate down the infinite hallway. Just look for anything weird, either in the chair, in the hallway or my emotions. If nothing is found after a couple of minutes, head back to the others.
When you have a rocket, a battlesuit and an indestructible chair, there are some things you just gotta try.
EDIT: As I head back, use those cans of spraypaint I'm carrying around to mark the hallway and doors with lines and numbers respectively, just in case there's some repetition or distortion or similar.
1. Doesn't seem to do anything. Well, technically they're overlapping, which is something weird...but your hands don't fuse together or something.
2.You tie it to the leg of one of the desks and then kick the blurry part. The rope immediately starts to unspool, being sucked into the blurry area. It continues until the rope snaps taut, strains for a few seconds and then snaps. Half gets sucked into the blurry corner, the other half remains attached to the desk.
Your attempts to ride the chair are hilarious, but unsuccessful the chair doesn't break, but your big fat ass falls flat a half dozen times.
Collect a couple spare datapads, jury-rig them to use their comm signals to do triangulation.
*mumbles to self* "Hmm, no, that won't be any good either...
Make the triangulation system cross-check apparent distance both ways between every datapad ((so we'd know, for example, if a hallway has some magic that makes it suddenly infinitely long, both ways, for anyone entering it))
"Hey Flint! Take one of these wi... "
Be too late to give one to Flint, watch and hope he returns.
You assume that signals will move through walls.
I'll just tell you now that they won't.
I applaud your efforts but they keep coming to naught. I'm sorry.
"...I am going to be staying right here where reality is not distorting overly much. Fuck that."
Try contacting ARESTEVE, Steve, Heph command, etc. If I get through, tell them please get the elevator moving back up, or at least give me a layout of the place.
No dice.
Um...wake up in Xans brain compartment? Please?
Sure, we'll let you do that. Have fun talking to Xan and his many organs.
Sit in my chair with the backrest in front of me and rocket sled down the hallway with flint.
Stop if I see something interesting or if Flint also stops.
This is less rocket sled adventure and more you spinning in a chair and waiting for flint to stop sucking.
"Yeah dude, thats totally gnarly. Tubular."
Climb atop The Flint express and ride on his battlesuit, to infinity and beyond!
While running that mapping tool and leaving that trail of Breadcrumbs.
You know friend, even if his big fat mechanical ass could manage not to fuck it, metaphorically, you riding with him is probably gonna result in you grinding your face off on the ceiling or something. He's kinda fat and this hall is kinda tight for him.
You feel me?
