Tarran SmithTry three last passwords:
If these fail, promptly take off the helmet and throw it across the room in mild frustration.
[luck 3-1] None of the additional inputs work, and the screen continues to cheerily deny you entrance. You rip the headset off and throw it across the room. It hits the immortal standing in the doorway at about chest level and rebounds, crunching slightly as it lands on the floor again.
"We have been sent to guide you," the immortal says, its vibrating tone unaffected by the collision.
"The Dominique is safe. The father has agreed to let you take your craft and go. We have been sent to guide you." The repeated statement at the end has the barest hint of a question in it, almost asking your permission to be guided. Which is sort of a new one.
[observation 3] You're a little stunned by this development to notice much, but the immortal doesn't seem to be armed.

James EvanJames gripped his Renfield and peeked out into the hall to see what was there.
You pivot silently in the direction of the noise. Once upon a time a strange noise wouldn't have bothered you, but once upon you didn't have a technocrat implanted fungus eating your brain. You've got a reason to be tense. [Dex 1] You peek out into the hall with the graceful stealth of a pregnant woman running over impact gel. You manage, through feats of dexterity that astound even you, to end splay legged in the middle of the hallway, your renfield pointed up your own nose, and a fall prevented only because you caught yourself on something big. Big and greenish.
Big, greenish, and chitinous.
The rasping plates that create the immortal's voice hiss and slide under your fingers as it addresses you.
"We have been sent to guide you.The Dominique is safe. The father has agreed to let you take your craft and go. We have been sent to guide you." ---
Aaron White"Guys, hide, i´ll check it out, listen for gunfire"
Walks towards sound
´I Am an bloody idiot´
"Hello, anyone with an functioning brain in here?"
You tell the others in your group to stay back while you check out whatever cast the shadow. You're pretty handy in a fight, at least enough to give the others time to make themselves useful from ambush. Or to buy them time to run if fighting isn't option.
[observation 4] You have to make a few educated guesses about where the shadow was heading, and one blind turn finds you face to back with an immortal. You freeze, but it doesn't seem to be interested in you. Instead, it seems to be talking to someone just inside of the clerk's office. You catch the tail end of what it's saying.
...take your craft and go. We have been sent to guide you." ---
