"Everybody should grab something to use as a weapon."
Grab one of the microscopes and put on a pair of safety goggles, then search the lab for anything that might be useful and a lab coat.
John: Search: 16
John finds a couple of flasks of acid as well as a lab coat. Thankfully, the flasks are sealed, but they
are made of glass, so they can break easily in a pocket.
labcoat, need to look in passing like I belong. Am aware it wont pass a close inspection. Next, pocketable weapon check. Knife? I dont want anything obvious but would prefer to be armed. Once done, back out to follow blue arrow
Erin: Search: 9
Erin manages to find a lab coat and a pen. Not exactly top-tier weaponry, but it'll do in her situation.
Following the blue arrows, Erin quickly runs into a couple of guards patrolling the hallway.
"Mornin', ma'am," one of them says to her, this being the first time she's actually known what time of day it was since she was brought here. "You look a little beat up, are you all right?"
As I enter the lab I put on the lab coat and safety googles I would then pocket the vials, and finally after I do that, I search for A weapon I can hide in my pocket, or at least something small enough to fit in my pocket and heavy enough to act as a weapon.
”Let’s see what we got here.”
Ryan: Search: 19
Ryan: ?: 16
Ryan manages to find three knives stashed in a drawer, enough labcoats for the entire group, some safety goggles, and a small plastic bag to contain the vials in. The knives look as if they belong in a kitchen more than anything else.
"Speaking of weapons, does anyone want one of these?"
Offer one of the batons to anyone who wants it. Also put on a lab coat.
Mattis takes a lab coat from Ryan and puts it on.
"Urge to touch mysterious artifacts rising. Must... Resist..!"
...Grab as many unknown devices as possible. Possible physical evidence to the existence of the alien conspiration.
Take the offered baton, and also try to "disguise" myself as a scientist with a labcoat and goggles like the others are doing (despite already being a scientist myself).
Robert takes a... huh.
Robert isn't sure what to call
any of these, since they don't really look like anything he's handled.
In that case, Robert takes a... looky-thingy and a spinny-thingy. He's not really sure what either one of them does, but it doesn't matter, as he just takes them anyways.
He also takes the baton from Mattis, and takes a labcoat and goggles as well.
