I try to redirect the fire into the middle of the nuclear power station.
| You sit down to focus better on your powers, and try to deviate the heat to the core of the nuclear reactor, which should be able to keep it all. You annihilate your mind and enter the fire, you feel it, you hear it, you taste and smell it, you can grab it. Then you try to move it, you channel the heat in the reactor room, but it is much, too much..
| You try to force the heat away, when a cold mass arrive toward you, and you have to jump sideway to avoid it. You can’t keep control of your powers, and the channeled heat is poured onto the cold mass! You see it is covered by flames and, opening your eyes, you discover that it is Kashyyk! You hope that he is still alive, inside the flaming ball.
AI: keep training
| In a corner you find a practice doll, and use that to master your new art of fighting. It doesn’t take much for you to swing your hand masterfully. You can now change direction quickly, which will help you greatly during a fight, if enemies try to dodge your attacks.
Jetsquirrel:Poke the thing and listen carefully maybe it says something!
Digital HellhoundGo and help jetsquirrel poke the thing
“Hey, jet, what about poking the sphere together? I think we can play some nice music on it!”
Poke.
Poke poke poke.
Tud tud tud poke poke tam poke tud tud tam tam.
CLANG“Clang? What was that?” “ No idea… I think it came from the inside of the sphere. I bet we can discover some more if we poke it again.
I use my mabàli harpoon as a pole vault and leap through the fire out of the room.
| Remembering your days back in the college , you prepare the pole , run, and jump! You fly high in the air above flames, but you could not aim and the results of this are soon apparent: you are falling toward RAM and you can do nothing to avoid it!
|You land badly, you can feel ankles and knees spraining , just few seconds before you pass out from the pain. Like in a dream, you feel a cold heat surrounding you, without harm, and forming a protective shell. You can not explain what it was, nor if it is real or not.
Fiddle with controls and see if I can get anything to happen.
| Broken, broken, no camera, no power, … that is all you could find. At least, the few things you can understand, the other are complicated things that you can’t understand. You try fiddling randomly, but it keeps spawning an annoying blue screen, telling you to call your administrator and tell him a string of strange numbers… 0x000003 ( 0x000002 0xFDA0023 … ).You can’t understand what it means, despite your best efforts. It also says something about new software and hardware… but they are just terminals, you don’t even know where the main computer is! You decide to give up
Background roll :2 You all are too busy to see anything. Jetsquirrel and Hellhound mainly, who are having fun poking the sphere some more.
Siege roll:2 You can not see what happens outside, but you feel more stomping, which can only be bad
=1+1=2 I want to get a 5 on this sooo much…. I won’t tell you what action(s) caused the +1
Fire roll: 1 The fire spreads quickly, burning the place where Kashyyk once stood, touching the fission reactor and burning the combustion engine!
Generator roll:3 being the fuel input tube still open, a flame is quickly spawned from it, running high to the ceiling. The generator itself isn’t damaged yet, but it is not all steel in there.

LOCATIONS
The building in which you started
Vat room : the room you started in. it has several vats and machinery connected to them. Only your ones are empty, the other have dead and rotten corpses in them. On the ground there are some flashlights, -1 to moving until removed.
Corridor : a corridor leading from a door in the Vat room toward the exit, it has 4 doors on the sides, one of which open
exit stairs: some stairs at the end of the corridor which go upward to the exit. At the end of them there is a sturdy steel door, few centimeters open but blocked. There is some light coming from the door
Storage room: a largish room with several crates in it. It looks like it was meant to hold more than that
Lounge: it is some kind of a lounge, that was probably also used as dining room. It has some tables, chairs, a TV, some computers in the opposite wall, probably for personal use, and a coffee selling machine in a corner.
Generator room: a big room with a ceiling higher than that of the other rooms you have seen till now. There are cables everywhere on the floor, there are shelves, tools, the floor is dirty but the first thing you see is the machine that fills the room from the center to the back. It is made of turbines and graphite chambers, it is a nuclear power plant, very small actually. there is a smaller generator in the room, that should be able to partially power the building. there are 4 fuel tanks on the floor. Some wires are exposed and the room is covered by fuel.
bedroom: There are 6 beds on each side of the room, for a total of 24 beds, everything in perfect order: blankets, pillows… for whatever reason they abandoned this place, it was planned. Or somebody wanted to cancel any proof or fight… there is no way to know. The air is moist, there is some water on the floor. The people who lived there probably had a way to humidify the air underground, and during the years a pipe must have broken, releasing some water; the piping must be broken in some other places since it didn’t flood the place: probably the pumps stopped working, or the water tanks evaporated. Why would people live here? This place must have been either very secret or very important to force workers to live in their workplace, possibly using work shifts to keep people working all the day and night, or were they prisoners? You can only guess what this place was, but maybe people left something behind them that could help you to understand. there is a diary on a bed, damaged by the (years?) and moist air
Control room: A big room with computers on all the sides, maps on the walls, blueprints, desks, notes and chairs ,paper bins that were never emptied, even some chewing gum on the floor(maybe RAM would like it?) a control room of some kind. There are 4 doors, including the one you entered from.
On a wall, the map of the building
Monolith dissection: At the center there is a … thing, a black, extremely flat, non-reflective cuboid whose dimensions are in the precise ratio 1:4:9. On its side it has a surprisingly neat and clean hole, much better than anything you could do with standard methods on standard materials. Inside, there is a great mass of electronic devices, the functions of most of them unknown not only by even the brightest minds on this world. It is put on some kind of huge operatory table, with wires connecting both inside and outside the black monolith. There are many computers on the wall, but all powered down, of course. Above the hole in the monolith, magnifying lenses, robotic arms with various tools and several other measuring instruments can be seen, used in the past to examine the monolith’s interiors, in an attempt to reduce danger of humans damaging something, despite it having shown to be nearly indestructible when needed.
sphere room You See, at the center of this room, a big steel sphere, raised by 4 steel pillars. There is a line in the middle, as if it was 2 hemispheres just pushed together. There is strange machinery on the sides, computer near the walls and wires everywhere. The computers are active.
