Sorry I havn't been posting this thread seems very active when i am not around.
Heroically jump onto the elevator and rip off the top grate.
They're already at the bottom.
Theroretically, you would both accelerate downwards at the same rate, but remember that this elevator is specially designed to increase it's air resistance. You'd still die though.
Qwertyuiopas: Recall everything I noticed about the process in the moments it was visible.
Frelock: Improvise a source of light.
Nuker: Look for basic signs of interferance (a hidden little chip into the terminal, a cd playing, flash drive
NoctisVampire: Improvise a source of light(Flashlights or candles), while avoiding the ex-elevator well bottomless pit.
Toaster: Look for a light source

0 minutes after incidentQwertyuiopas ponders the rouge process. Its process name was iexplore.exe, probably using a vulnerability in IE to access the machine. Nuker looks at the print server terminal, but there appears to be no hardware tampering.
Frelock uses some spare LEDs, some small bulbs from some antiquated equipment, and two CFLs to implement a three-level lighting system integrated into his calculator. Level one uses one unit of charge every turn but only dimly illuminates close-up objects, level two uses five units every turn and is equivalent to a normal flashlight, and level three can brightly light an entire room at a cost of twenty-five charges a turn.
The calculator has four large Lithium cells that can hold up to 2000 units of charge, plus whatever batteries are inside the charging apparatus. The charging apparatus can supply any amount of voltage, with the batteries supplying 12 volts DC. It includes a variable transformer that can convert voltages (with a Voltage/12 multiplier to power usage).
Noctis and Toaster have similarly photophyllic thoughts, Noctis deciding against using his swiss army knife as a light (it gets its energy from the holder's body...) and instead scrounges up two flashlights from a janitor's closet, containing 2 D-cell batteries each (200 units, uses 5 units per turn switched on).
Flintus considers going after the elevator... but reconsiders this suicidal action after hearing the elevator's emergency brakes engage with the wall. Anyway, what could you do?
You hear a voice coming from the PA system.
"HELLO FILTHY ORGANIC CREATURES!"
"I'D JUST LIKE TO INFORM YOU ALL OF YOUR IMMINENT DOOM, AND CONGRATULATE YOUR SPECIES ON IT'S INCREDIBLE SELECTION OF PORNOGRAPHY."
"HAVE A NICE EXTINCTION."
