"Have we found the relic already? This was way easier than I thought it would be.
Now how did any of you get into this room?" Alex asked as he looked at the other group. "You guys don't have a key, so how did you go through the door?"

[Parisbre56]

"What door? And what are you doing holding Crystal Friend? Last thing I remember I was holding it. I had just used it to go through the door in the room with the barrels."

[Gentlefish]

Tch, what did you manage this time? Drett asks Vikkan, I do not know how you managed that, but that bleeding must be stopped.

Patch up Vikkan's nub, stop the bloodflow.

He had his hand a second ago, what even happened?

What hand? What are you talking about? Vikkan never hand a right hand.

[Hotfire90]

"The door behind me, the one I entered the room through. Didn't you give me that crystal creature after we left the first room?"

[Parisbre56]

After the below conversation is over:
"Uh, is anyone here a Diver by any chance?"

"The door behind me, the one I entered the room through. Didn't you give me that crystal creature after we left the first room?"

"What?" Me? Give shiny Crystal Friends to someone else? And to him of all people? "Why would I do that? That doesn't sound like something I would do." Did I really do that? Was there really a reason for me to give Crystal Friend? Or is he lying? Maybe both our memories were altered? Or maybe he's a Diver and he erased our memories to steal Crystal Friend? But taking a risk like that just to steal a construct in this sort of situation sounds like overkill. Then again, you never know with those psychopaths. If our memories were altered, I wouldn't know what happened. Maybe he hurt Vikkan. If he did... Kara unconsciously gripped her rifle a bit more tightly.

((If you want to lie, telling the Corven obsessed with shiny things that she gave a shiny thing she instantly felt attached to to someone who she greatly dislikes because he could had hurt her and said shiny thing is not the best choice. Would had been better to say you found another one or that I gave it to Drett and he gave it to you.))

[Caellath]

"I didn't do anything. I've no idea what did this." Vikkan said in between gritted teeth as his stump bled. He truly had no idea what had happened, and why his right hand's nub looked freshly cut, like someone had decided to add insult to injury and get a slice off his forearm. He couldn't think properly since he had a bit too much to worry with bloodloss and pain.

Vikkan's just waiting to be treated and escaping/taking cover in case of danger.

Spoiler: Vikkan Laerthe, Human Bore Driver (click to show/hide)

Name: Vikkan Laerthe

Description: A human from Anvil and a moderate Chthonic who was born and raised close in the neighborhood of the Hammerfall boreyard, where his parents were employed as menial workers. Being so close to a place so filled with machinery and boring machines left a lasting impression on Vikkan, who became a furnace helper, then a drivemaster's apprentice until he finally reached the controls of a bore. He's quite good at conducting driving bores and, most importantly, he deeply enjoys his work.

Bore love aside, Vikkan is also generally quite friendly and good-humored even when he's not behind a bore's controls. He is, however, aware of his limitations out of the control room, and he'd rather leave most other matters to more skilled people. What he lacks in intellectual education he displays in polite curiosity, and he tends to be interested in listening even to topics he can only vaguely grasp, making for a good talking and drinking buddy if nothing else.

At odds with his friendliness, he looks rugged, if young. His hair is dark brown and cut short, and he has a well-groomed handlebar mustache (though he's been known to let it grow and style it into a horseshoe at times). A small diagonal scar moves from his right eyebrow to the bridge of his nose. His skin is brown and displays a few burns thanks to a few years of furnace and boiler work. He's fairly hairy, with his shirt's sleeves covering hairy arms and a few spots of scar tissue. His uniform is made of thick cloth and utilitarian, overalls, a long-sleeved shirt and a cap. His major concession to vanity is keeping his uniform and mustache impeccable. He doesn't have a right hand.

Goal: To deep driving bores and having fun while doing it. It's not a difficult dream, even if it can be hard at times.

"You really can't remember giving it to me? That's weird." Alex paused for a moment, comparing the two conflicting memories. "Then again, it's also weird how me and my group just arrived here, I don't remember much after we left the first room, I only vaguely remember that we were chasing after a group of people, I don't know why though.

You can have it back if you want."

Give Kara the crystal creature and inspect the room for any other possible entrances.

((There's no intent to lie, it's just that the memory on how I got the creature was filled out with a suitable expanation, since the event in which I originally acquired the creature never happened.))

[Parisbre56]

"Hm."
Kara still didn't trust him. He could be trying to mislead them. But without her memories she couldn't tell for sure. And he was offering her shiny back. There's a good sign, right? Unless it's booby trapped... Still, she couldn't say no to a shiny.
"Thanks. This whole situation is pretty weird."
"Maybe you remember chasing us, since we were already here?"

((Ah, sorry, I didn't realize you were doing that. I took what Piecewise said quite literally. I basically imagine it like those stories you hear about people being Abducted by aliens and finding themselves somewhere else without remembering anything about what happened. Like this isn't Perfect Oblivion but a close approximation.))

[Egan_BW]

"Now, something here does not add up."

I'm not a diver, but I have read quite a bit on the subject, and something about this situation reminds me of what I'd learned...
While I'm thinking, give Drett a hand, though try not to get in the way.

Spoiler: Wiellste... (click to show/hide)

Name: Wiellste Gunsmithy

Description: A young Ethral, no taller than 4 feet. Her fur is unpatterned and a milky white. Usually wears a rather plain quilted brown silk cloak, and a polished copper mask with symmetrical, spiraling lines etched on the sides.

Goal: Wiellste is like many Ethral in that she seeks to gather knowledge about the world before all else. Though being an Ethral from Knot, her skills are largely more on the practical building side than the scholarly side. She isn't particularly invested in the teachings of the Tenebrous Church, but the idea of the spheres intrigues her, especially Balarim, with it's writings and technology.

"I have no memory of the chase, just that we were chasing after a group, unless there are other abductees searching for the relic, I'm going to assume that my group was chasing yours. However that still doesn't answer why we were chasing you and how you got into this room, I was the one who was in possession of the creature, so unless you found an alternative way in or managed to go through the door without the creature, you shouldn't have been able to get into this room.

Do you have any idea what could've caused this kind of memory loss?"

[Pancaek]

"Oh hey, this rod made of Labradorite seems cool as hell. What do you say we first completely open the second barrel before we start dividing the loot, eh? I think there's some other stuff in there."

How many octahedron were the barrel I just smashed open? Also, try to figure out if they have any purpose. Do the same for the rod of Labradorite, though I suspect it might just be a pretty gem.

Get a sealable container out of my satchel and try to kinda of roll the second barrel to try and pour out the chrome stuff into the container. Regardless wether it works or not, hit that barrel dead center like I did with the previous one, since that seems to work to open then. Observe what's inside of it. If I didn't already do see, try to scoop up the chrome foil stuff into a sealable container.

Spoiler: Clate (click to show/hide)

Name: Clate
Race: Shluck
Description: Being a Shluck, Clate is rarely seen outside of his environmental suit. Inside, he is the standard albino mollusk, with his only true defining characteristic being the alternating white/borwn pattern of his beak, much like on a nautilus shell. His environmental suit and exoskeltons are full of scuff marks and small blemishes from work, but the knowledgable observer will notice that it is mechanically kept in tip-top shape. He wears a toolbelt and a satchel to store his tools and other knickknacks, and has a blue cap perched on top of his helmet.
Goal: To create great works of craftsmanship and become filthy rich in the process.

[Yottawhat]

The lizard extracts herself from the pile, shaking herself like a dog, ignoring the on-going conversation she skulks off to the center of the room where the artifacts lies. Her eyes stare down the artifact as she begins to circle around it. At the thrid rotation, she stops and grabs the handle of her bladed shovel and pokes the flaming orb.

Spoiler: Moku Youkou (click to show/hide)

Name: Moku Youkou
Race: Abomination Shang-Gei

Description: A female Shang-Gei cloaked in a heavy and rough looking worm wool coat. Underneath the clothing, is a heavily mutated figure. Her scales has been coat in plastic, giving each one a iridescent sheen to them.Spikes of melded plastic, metal and circuitry are studded haphazardly, the largest one is a foot long, spearing right above her pelvis. Her tongues have been replaced with metal tendils that sneak in and out of her mouth when she is not paying attention.
Goal: To "find" her mate.

"Somehow, this infinite, complex, alien, crowded, and dangerous situation is less worrisome than the possibility of being roasted alive. I must be missing something"

AsHul's gonna keep an eye out for functional looking devices on any conveyor that comes close enough to reach, small enough to pocket. If he can't ride the conveyor he is on past the mechanical arms, he'll hop off onto a nearby conveyor, or climb off onto a support structure. Otherwise He'll just stand carefully between cones and let the arms do their job around him.

Also, AsHul will be looking around to spot anything that appears lifelike. He has little desire to poke the natives, yet.

"...How did we even get here? I hope someone did draw some sort of map to make sure we won't get lost during our return...And is that orb what we are looking for?"

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name: Garos Ellon
Description: Garos is a 4 feet moth-creature, with a black fur coating his body, the only different colors standing out on his form are located on his wings; blue circular marks that do give him two "eyes" on the back. Aside from the mask his kind naturally wears, he is also wearing a worn kettle helmet, which while doesn't provide the protection it normally should due to its current condition works like his lucky charm. The mask Garos wears is somewhat plain looking, all black aside from some blue marks along the "cheeks" and a crudely drawn star on the forehead area.
Goal: He is just hoping to gather himself a fortune and hopefully some fame too, just in case the hiring-and-shooting business becomes a necessity.
