RAM, you should be more careful to what words you use. On a good roll they can be twisted
Remind generator room that it is no longer cursed. Convert Burny fire into spiritual fire.
|You are cornered , all ways closed, the heat unbearable, the air unbreatheable , your death incoming. You already tried everything, but your physical and mental powers all failed you; no, it can’t end like this: you all are there for a reason, even if you don’t know it. Somebody who has nothing more to lose can do amazing, or stupid, things; you charge straight into the fire, your flesh eaten by it. Adrenaline fills your blood vessels, you finally act-
All you can remember of that period is that fire around you disappeared, absorbed by you; in your mind you can recall only few images of fire flying toward you, as you ran across the room, but nothing more. Next thing you remember you are standing in the middle of the room with tenuous blue flames all around you, but they don’t burn your body: they are burning your soul.
First: AWAKE!
Second: Shout at the fire and scare it away.
| The fire touching your limbs and the heat turn you awake. All you see beyond your blurred eyes is dancing stains of yellow and orange, moving all around and above you. They show evil faces, laughing and pointing in your direction, They want to kill you, they are slowly burning your body and you can’t move; you wave your harms gathering only pain as they slash the fire elementals, leaving them unharmed. In a moment of madness you raise on your elbows and yell at the fire “ GO AWAY, MONSTER!”. The room starts spinning and you fall down on your back, exhausted, semiconscious. And alone, all the spirits disappeared.
tunnel under my team mates so they can hop down
| Surrounded by earth and pebbles you keep going in your digging efforts, barely managing another meter before you have to stop. The tunnel is small and you are too far from the storage room to dump out what you dig; you are in a space so narrow that you can’t even turn, so you have to crawl back taking away as much waste as you can. When you come back to light, the first thing you notice is that there is no more noise from the fire. You enter the corridor and see RAM in the center of the room, the last flames flying toward him. After that short moment you can’t see him clearly anymore as he is covered by an ethereal blue flame. You can see him behind the fireand he doesn’t seem to be suffering.
Honor the golem as a greater being […]
| “Oh great being, don’t be angry with us. We poked the sphere for the thirst of knowledge that is the gift and the curse of our specie. We ask your help, to know why we are here. In the room in front of this there is a monolith, such a thing that only you can understand. Help us, please! I shall protect you from all who mean harm”.
“
For Urist’s sake, are you really that dumb or what? I knew the whole process could damage the mind, but that is unbelievable. You are clearly useless now. |. I really don’t know what is stopping me from hurting you”
Digital, near you, speaks to your help: “ Please, don’t think bad of us. All our memories previous to when we awakened in the vats are erased, that is why we are acting strangely in your eyes, we are just confused. There are 4 more of us at the moment. But we need your help to survive”
“
yes, fine. I admit eve I remember less than I should, it must have been a long time. Fine. Now, take me to your other team matesAI: help Jetsquirrel
| you see the golem acting aggressively against Jetsquirrel, maybe even with some reason; but you need to explain him the situation, so that your friend won’t get harmed and you all may be able to know more about the past. ( see above)
"VERY CAREFULLY" examine the strange object and see if I can make sense of it.
|You examine the object. All you can thing is: “ tangled mess”. But it makes an odd humming sound… it is dangerous. Maybe even alive, or a spirit from the dead. Whatever it is, understanding how such a device works is beyond your abilities.
Background roll : You have already seen everything in the rooms you know, really.
Fire:5 the fire goes out, leaving the room darkened, but all the important equipment mostly intact.

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.
The sphere was opened in turn 19, leaving many broken wires and bending the metal. Inside of it, a golem was found
tomorrow map. Now I am officially free from school, until 6 january. This should mean more updates.
