As the 21st century dawned,

1:06

it marked the beginning of a

1:09

rapid and new expansion for humanity Space

1:12

the human race made many discoveries

1:14

some to improve our lives But

1:17

most in the pursuit of even

1:19

more expansion for those with power

1:22

always desire more You are

1:24

aboard the UES longhouse as it

1:26

swims through the depths of

1:28

Europa. Can I

1:30

forward and go on to the band my

1:32

contact is? Nagano is army? this is Oski

1:34

Jardvin and I am at your location.

1:37

Come in. him to you Oski and

1:39

said I put up a up a finger.

1:41

We need to make it

1:43

to engineering get comms back online Oski,

1:45

last I checked I'm in charge. the

1:47

UES Longhouse is abyss mark ship I

1:50

am in charge. You walk a

1:52

little bit into the very, very

1:54

dark loitering bay anyone have a a light? I have

1:56

a flashlight. I have a flashlight as well. Flashlight Gideon do

1:58

you have one? I do. All of

2:00

you click your flashlights on and

2:02

you scan the environment. It's

2:04

like said, very, very large. So there's

2:07

as the, as your lights over it, it

2:09

plays havoc with the shadows

2:11

because there's multiple beams. It feels

2:13

like every corner holds on different

2:15

monster. You can see that

2:17

there is a catwalk above you

2:19

and on the catwalk, there's

2:22

also heaps of clutter. The catwalk

2:24

has these giant mechanical arms

2:26

which come down, obviously pick crates,

2:28

move them around And

2:30

that well casts on

2:32

the walls that it look like

2:35

giant shadow people are standing the

2:37

walls watching you. Several things happen

2:39

very quickly. You've moved a little

2:41

bit into the room. It's not

2:44

been very long. It's been

2:46

like a minute of walking into

2:48

this space. And then you see

2:50

like like squeaking, like on a basketball

2:52

field. You hear a basketball field,

2:54

a basketball court. You that

2:56

and you see red

2:59

flashing lights running north

3:01

on the ground level. There's these

3:03

little flashes of red light

3:05

that sprint northwards. And then you

3:07

hear from up on the

3:09

catwalk, get them. And then we'll

3:11

go to initiative. What the fuck?

3:14

The squeaking lights. Who's that?

3:17

All right. Um, robot and sneakers,

3:19

sweet shoes. Everyone draw a

3:21

card From some

3:24

further along, you see a silhouette

3:26

of a human being step out. They

3:28

level a pistol in your direction. And

3:31

I'm going to say deuce one,

3:34

Jack Den two, Osky three,

3:36

Cal four, Gideon five,

3:38

and six the wild card. Six

3:41

the card. They

3:44

twice and they're going to

3:46

hit. They shoot at Denton

3:48

and they shoot at Jack Denton again.

3:53

Okay. Okay. Jackie Jackie baby.

3:55

Bummy. We fix you

3:58

like the robot. Maybe

4:03

They get no success Bang

4:06

bang two illuminate the

4:08

darkness and Jack swears but

4:10

not in pain just

4:13

in fright He back in guy

4:15

turn five goddamn dirty sneak the

4:17

grass But

4:21

he quick draws revolver fires the Darkness

4:23

lights up again from the

4:25

flash of his gun that

4:27

figure you're just getting this

4:29

image in flashes just see

4:31

as their head rocks backwards

4:33

and blood goes everywhere boy of

4:35

the three figures goes down permanent

4:38

like All right your

4:40

turn. Okay. I'm going to take out

4:42

my pulse rifle Aim at the

4:44

person who is on the catwalk Cool

4:46

fire you would normally get a penalty

4:48

in a dark environment But because

4:50

you have the flashlight you the flashlight and

4:53

your assault rifle at the same

4:55

time So you're still only really getting silhouettes

4:57

this firefights happening really quickly and in

4:59

otherwise darkness I'm gonna say that you

5:01

can't really properly make the figure out aside

5:03

from a silhouette Which is enough to shoot

5:05

so you don't get the negative, but I'm

5:07

holding back a little surprise So

5:12

that's three successes one

5:14

is enough to do the weapon

5:16

damage, which is two So you've

5:18

done two points of damage you got

5:20

two extra successes so can do extra

5:22

damage you can exchange initiative scores

5:25

with them You can force them

5:27

to drop their weapon or another

5:29

object that they're holding you can Cause

5:31

them to fall to the ground

5:33

or be pushed back Oh, cool. Oh,

5:35

I was gonna say drop the

5:37

weapon from the catwalk, but being

5:40

pushed back off the catwalk sounds right.

5:42

Well you them back your bullets bang Oh

5:44

also quickly did you know that

5:46

you can auto with your current weapon

5:48

as well? Just letting you know

5:50

which allows you to spend extra

5:53

on hitting extra people Oh,

5:55

I also have armor. Oh That's if they're wearing

5:58

armor. people are not wearing armor Well,

6:00

not that that you know at least. fantastic

6:02

um so full fire auto your stress, but

6:04

extra successes can be used to hit

6:06

extra people. Okay, there's only the two left yeah

6:08

there's two left. So I'm just gonna

6:10

aim for the one guy up top. I'm

6:12

I'm gonna hit them with the two damage.

6:14

I'm going to do an extra two

6:16

damage and then cause them to get pushed

6:18

off. Now, you would have nearly killed

6:20

them until they hit the ground, then you

6:22

killed them Yeah. well the

6:24

ground killed them. Yeah, the ground

6:26

killed them. exactly they also had a it's

6:28

not the same, you you

6:30

know what, I won't make you

6:32

roll You have enough PTSD to

6:35

know this noise. They are using

6:37

a standard issue AKS assault weapon, which which

6:39

is the New Republic standard issue

6:41

weapon. You know that noise. He

6:43

pulls the trigger as he dies,

6:45

firing upwards. You hear the rapport you're

6:47

like New Republic weapon. He gets

6:49

knocked off the catwalk, hits the

6:52

ground, dies. fantastic All right,

6:54

there's one more person left. They

6:56

are at ground level. They haven't attacked

6:58

yet though. oh that don't care about I

7:00

just give him wants hide. yeah yeah take cover.

7:02

Yeah, it's like taking cover. And if

7:04

I have any additional stuff, I

7:06

just wanna look around this place and

7:08

see what information I can get.

7:10

You start scanning the area, that'll take

7:12

a bit longer though but you take cover,

7:14

so you I'm gonna say I can't be

7:16

shot. Squishy scientist here thank you what fighter, you

7:18

thank you. What do you wanna do?

7:20

to do I I'll let you know

7:22

what I'm thinking. These people are

7:25

obviously employees or some kind of security

7:27

detail sure but of them who been killed. yes

7:29

it's better for three of them

7:31

to die. so I'm gonna hide I'm So gonna it

7:33

gonna hide, I'm gonna get it to

7:35

cover and I'm gonna let Cal and

7:37

Denton clean up the rest of the has

7:39

not God. Deuce has not been giving given

7:41

order, so he does not find cool

7:44

last remaining person draws a knife and

7:46

sprints at you. I'm gonna

7:48

say say either be Cal

7:50

or Denton that they run out

7:53

odds or evens evens they run at

7:55

you Cal okay and out of the

7:57

darkness, a person materialized is

7:59

look fucked up. up.

8:01

You can see they

8:03

are haggard. Sallow face, like

8:05

haven't eaten in days. Maybe

8:08

dehydrated as well. The

8:10

hair is kind of spotchy, like been

8:12

pulling it out or it's been

8:14

falling out in clumps and they're

8:16

wearing ragged clothing. It looks teared

8:18

and bloody. You can see they're

8:20

bruised. This person has been through

8:22

the fucking wringer and you have just

8:25

enough time to register that before

8:27

they come at you with a

8:29

shift. Oh God. You take One point of

8:31

damage as you are in the

8:33

neck. Denton's turn, he spins

8:35

around, bang, bang, bang, bang, fanning

8:37

his pistol, his revolver,

8:39

which Cal, you know he calls Lucy. Of

8:41

course. He fires, but because he's

8:43

trying not to hit you, Cal, he

8:45

doesn't get a hit. This

8:48

person is at engaged range, so you

8:50

take a negative two to hit them with

8:52

a a ranged weapon. Gotcha, so I'm going

8:54

to swing around, grab my knife, and

8:56

then try to go at them with

8:58

the knife. You

9:01

stab them in the neck. Both of

9:03

you are holding a knife and your neck.

9:05

Neither of you have gone down yet

9:07

though. He's also still standing, staring at

9:09

you. Now that you've gotten a a

9:11

longer to look at him, he is

9:13

wearing a uniform, but it's an orange

9:15

jumpsuit. It's not a soldier or a a scientist's

9:17

uniform. It makes him look a little

9:19

bit like a convict, to be

9:21

honest. Oh, then holding

9:23

back has been taken away, Done.

9:27

So drawing the knife was a fast action and

9:29

then attacking with the action, right? So it, okay.

9:32

Do either of you want to do something? I

9:34

would say even though you're taking cover, both

9:36

of you are kind of aware of the situation,

9:38

scanning the environment. You can also see that this

9:40

guy doesn't look like an employee. He looks

9:42

like a convict, like I said. Is that unexpected?

9:45

No. Okay. You know

9:47

that's not unexpected. If

9:52

I try and shoot him as a a chance, I'll shoot. Cal,

9:54

and then it all goes up in smoke. I'm

9:58

just gonna let nature let nature take its Okay, no

10:00

worries. Yeah, I have any

10:02

information about this in that round hooray,

10:04

but if not, it's not

10:07

cowardice It's strategic. I

10:09

don't want to be in the way

10:11

Cal has a lot of reasons to

10:13

shoot me quote -unquote accidentally Accidentally cool deuce

10:15

still hasn't been given an order

10:17

and the guy continues to try

10:19

and fucking stab you. You

10:22

grab you your hand off your

10:24

wound and grab his nice hand

10:28

and back to the beginning. Jack Denton

10:30

tries again to kill this

10:32

guy. The head

10:34

nearly explodes. It just rocks to

10:36

the side and he falls over. Nice

10:39

shot Jack Jack just nods it. Yeah,

10:41

I'd like to get up and go

10:43

inspect the man Okay, the dead of them are

10:45

convex. okay, they're all wearing convict

10:47

uniforms. They are equipped with while

10:49

the guy with the knife That

10:51

was just a shiv a prison But

10:53

the weapons the pistol and the

10:55

assault rifle were both New Republic issue.

10:57

There's the damage to their bodies appear?

11:00

Like just like they've been living

11:02

rough or is it like they've

11:04

been attacked by something? It looks living

11:06

rough deuce deuce comes over Can you check these

11:09

men tell me what physical condition they

11:11

are in, what might have caused the?

11:14

The current condition three were

11:17

killed by Okay, GSW

11:20

known as gunshot wounds right?

11:22

now. I mean before the

11:24

gunshot wounds I I

11:28

Detect Malnutrition men

11:30

I detect dehydration. I

11:33

detect minor bruising and

11:36

evidence of Recent

11:39

engagements. Can you tell me

11:41

what the last time the

11:43

haircut was? Last

11:46

good meal was administered

11:48

least. He

11:51

at each of them one one ago.

11:55

Nine ago! One

11:59

and half years ago, you

12:01

may find it

12:03

interesting to know

12:05

that their meals

12:07

were properly one week

12:09

ago. Right. Right, okay.

12:11

Ha. Last Last meal,

12:14

administered, and then he repeats the years ago.

12:16

Thank you, Dus. Thank you, Dus. Can we

12:18

tell that these guys are convicts?

12:20

They're wearing prisoner uniforms. They're quite

12:23

obviously prisoner uniforms. There's nothing else

12:25

it could be. Aski, I am not

12:27

trying to question your leadership on

12:29

anything. I just to get that out

12:31

of the way. I do have

12:34

some very pressing questions. She's like around this

12:36

loading the crates, the guys. What

12:38

this place all

12:40

about? It It is

12:42

a scientific research center. Oh, okay. Don't worry

12:44

about specifics. We don't have time

12:46

to sit here and converse. We

12:48

need to get the place up

12:50

and running again. Aski, you got

12:53

a motion sensor, correct? Yeah. Would you

12:55

like to use that now? I'll

12:57

pull it out. That's a good idea,

12:59

Cal. Good thinking. Okay. Very

13:01

quickly, before we continue, you

13:03

see that there is a corridor

13:05

heading north. There is a corridor

13:07

heading west and there is a

13:09

a large, it's marked Storage B specifically.

13:11

You see there is a big

13:13

room to your east storage B. So

13:16

So you just do a little spin

13:18

around. Oh, you turn it on first

13:20

off. I can turn mine

13:22

too, unless that's redundant. It would

13:25

probably be redundant though. Is it the M314?

13:27

I have a motion track. It'd be

13:29

the M314. It'd be redundant. Okay.

13:31

You lose one point of power,

13:34

but you can have it on

13:36

for the next five to ten

13:38

minutes before you need to check

13:40

again. Yeah, Yeah, great. You see You see

13:42

heading north, is a dot, some sort

13:44

of movement, presumably whatever you saw

13:46

running away before. Oh, yeah. You

13:49

see it runs north little bit west then

13:51

it goes off the tracker. Do I have any

13:54

idea what that could be? Mmm,

13:56

be a a lot of things. There

13:58

were a lot of different. There's a yeah a

14:00

lot of different things it could be. Yeah, okay.

14:02

all good Again, my main priority

14:04

is to get to engineering isn't Is there

14:07

like or anything of the place you

14:09

do see this So, know how in

14:11

a hospital or types

14:13

of stations and facilities They'll have

14:15

colored lines on the ground

14:17

telling you where you can go

14:19

to get to what first Oh, you already

14:21

storage be but north going north

14:23

is living quarters be mess

14:26

be science Bay be

14:29

containment be cells

14:31

complex engineering

14:33

and core drilling different lines that you

14:35

can follow going in that direction

14:38

I point down to the engineering.

14:40

Mm -hmm. That's our line out here You pass mess

14:42

and living quarters and then just

14:44

after living quarters There is a

14:46

sealed door. So this corridor is

14:48

divided into two zones The first

14:50

zone you traverse with the entrances

14:53

to to quarters and mess But then

14:55

to get to the second part

14:57

of this corridor that sealed door bars way There's

14:59

a red light which is flashing

15:01

above it, you know, that is

15:03

the it's like a lockdown has happened No,

15:05

it's this flooding in the next

15:07

section. Oh So what happens is when

15:10

a section gets a a hole or

15:12

sort of puncture There is an

15:14

automated system that will seal that

15:16

section off from the rest of

15:18

the facility That's how it works everywhere. Okay,

15:20

submarine anything like that you are

15:22

all of you aware. It is very

15:24

unlikely not impossible, but very unlikely

15:27

that with the power out Unsealing

15:29

that will flood the entire facility.

15:31

Yeah, it'll flood anywhere it can get to

15:33

that automated thing is now off

15:35

Yeah, okay And

15:37

that's the way you need

15:40

to go to get to engineering. Yeah, yeah,

15:42

can Force your way but through flood

15:44

the entire Yeah, we do it'll

15:46

be compression suits only from here

15:48

out I will let you

15:50

know that dot that you saw

15:52

moving Yeah, it didn't come. This

15:54

is directly north Yeah, a little

15:56

bit west the living room is and

15:58

kept going north. So some there is a

16:00

way around theoretically. All right. Well, I'll

16:02

open the living quarters doors there and we'll try follow that

16:04

light. I have my knife away, at

16:06

flashlight out, and then I have my

16:08

pulse rifle just ready to go. Cool. And

16:11

To be clear, I I am always

16:13

behind you. With With gun

16:15

pointed at the base of your neck. I

16:18

reckon maybe the Marshal's leading the

16:20

way or at least in line

16:22

with you, Sure. Yeah. So in living

16:24

quarters B, you can see that this

16:27

place has been turned over. Every

16:29

drawer anywhere where you could put

16:31

something has been dragged out, upturned

16:33

and thrown away. People's clothes have

16:35

been rummaged through. All the personal

16:37

effects have been gone through in

16:39

this section. It looks like

16:41

a tornado hit it. You see

16:43

that there are two corpses as well.

16:45

Dead prisoners, It it looks like

16:47

they're wearing the same uniform. They

16:49

were both shot execution style. I see. Would

16:51

Would you like to investigate any

16:54

further or well, actually no, you need

16:56

to investigate to find you don't see any

16:58

obvious way to go North. so you

17:00

investigate the room and you and you find

17:02

that there is a vent large enough

17:04

for a human to fit in but just enough

17:06

for a human to fit

17:08

in It would be considered the

17:10

term is cramped Yeah, okay

17:12

Which means that it's single file you

17:14

can't see past the person

17:17

ahead of you Right. addition to

17:19

that while turning over the room, find something

17:21

that hasn't been looted, a PDA, which currently

17:23

logged into someone's intramail account. Oh,

17:25

give me, me, give me, give me, me. me. like to

17:27

snatch it. Oh, uh, I

17:29

guess this would be observation to see who finds

17:31

it first. Oh, okay. For

17:33

you, Oscar, That's seven

17:35

Yeah, and for Gideon, that's eight.

17:38

I also have stress. yeah. Yeah. Cool.

17:41

find it at the exact same time i would

17:43

like to then just both of you have a

17:45

hand on it i would like to hand on it

17:47

i look up at at and i'd like to

17:49

give you a look and the, the is I'm trying to

17:52

imply if If you find

17:54

anything on it that compromise you know,

17:56

the, the of structural integrity of

17:59

the group. Please don't tell

18:01

anybody and then I'll take my hand

18:03

off it. Oh Gideon loves trust. Oh

18:05

Oh Yeah, Gideon give

18:07

a little confirming

18:10

nod Because

18:12

right now boy is he

18:14

late juncture next to impossible

18:51

You must relent that the

19:01

officer in a side Clearly has

19:03

the advantage in reaching our

19:06

core drilling complex over me

19:12

some system where core samples

21:20

If you cannot get your job

21:22

done in your normal hours,

21:24

I suggest you find a new

21:26

line of work, or perhaps

21:28

you can ask Officer Alessa some pointers

21:31

on how to do your

21:33

job, direct fielding. Hell yeah. The rest

21:35

of the PDA is taken up

21:37

with geological analysis of deep core

21:39

samples and some light for geological

21:41

science jobs. I

21:44

guess there's no wifi so I

21:46

can't cap you this information.

21:48

All right, so I will tuck

21:50

the PDA into my pack. What

21:53

is Lunasgrad? Lunasgrad

21:55

is, I believe you heard it from the

21:57

guy in the pod. He

21:59

said that that they took him to Luna Scrabb.

22:01

They took him to Luna Scrabb. So guy

22:04

that you rescued. The corpses.

22:06

Does that kind of look like

22:08

somebody's cleaning shop or like something went? OK.

22:10

It looks cleaning shop. OK.

22:12

Oh, it does. It looks cleaning

22:14

shop, but they're corpses. Yeah,

22:16

okay. OK, interesting. There was no

22:19

fabric or clothes or material

22:21

on dead right? That we are

22:23

dead guy. He was naked. He

22:25

was naked. Oh, I'm so

22:27

sorry. I think I've neglected to

22:29

mention this as well. Back

22:31

with the loading bay. So remember

22:33

there was that west passage?

22:35

Yeah. So the west passage

22:37

had lines saying side A, or or

22:39

A side, sorry. And then geological

22:41

observation and flora and fauna

22:43

observation. Go. Just so you

22:45

know. While she's reading that, I'm

22:48

going to talk to Deuce quick. Go.

22:50

Apologies Deuce. We didn't give you any orders

22:52

before. If you see that we are

22:54

in combat with other people, please join

22:57

in on the combat. obviously,

22:59

with whoever I am shooting. Affirmative.

23:03

He has a mechanical cutting

23:05

torch. He that out. Hell yeah. That's

23:08

good. I liked his demonstration. Show

23:10

him what he's to do. And after the ore

23:13

shooting, he takes that a go and go, whoever I'm

23:15

fighting, really, because I could be stabbing too.

23:17

So yes. Affirmative. I will

23:19

defend your life. Thank

23:23

you, Deuce. I'd like to move over

23:25

to the great, like the the

23:28

vent, sorry. It's open currently. It's in an open

23:30

position. We will go through the vent. if

23:33

is the only way. I gesture for

23:35

Denton to take the lead. Denton

23:37

Denton nods, resigned to the task at

23:39

hand. You see, he takes off his

23:41

little satchel bag, gives it a shake,

23:44

It turns into the shotgun and

23:46

he leads the way. Let's

23:48

cramp. Cool. I'll switch to my

23:50

pistol. You come out into

23:52

what is unmistakably medical. OK. cool.

23:54

It is a very

23:56

long room. OK. Split

23:59

two sections. So it's so large,

24:01

so wide that it's got two

24:03

sections. Imagine a, one of those like

24:05

War II hospitals where it's

24:07

like bed bed after bed. You can see

24:09

on the walls, there are little

24:11

screens. Some of them would be for

24:13

monitoring patient vitals, stuff like that. But a

24:16

lot of them would be to, and

24:18

this is a very common thing on

24:20

stations, it would be to they're

24:22

on, they would simulate a window to to

24:24

give patients the feeling like they're in

24:26

a place with a light breeze that's

24:28

kind of pleasant. maybe even. a little sunny,

24:30

that sort of stuff. Make it

24:32

a a pleasant environment. All of

24:35

it is currently off Yeah, of course.

24:37

And there's a emergency backup for

24:39

this room only, there are

24:41

some stuttering, dying lights giving this

24:43

place a serious fucking horror

24:46

vibe. Cool. A lot of the

24:48

beds have body bags on them. While

24:50

you're here, as as soon as

24:52

you get in, I I suppose, who

24:54

second? Me. Okay. So, Oskie, by the

24:56

time you get in, they are

24:58

quickly, you get the, the

25:01

red lights. You realize it

25:03

is, though. In this stuttering flashing

25:05

light, you see it a

25:07

kid, a child. Okay.

25:09

would be maybe nine or possibly

25:11

even younger. She could be

25:13

like seven. She's quite young. She's

25:15

got a big, one of

25:18

those, Yushanka hats the ear flaps.

25:20

She's got what is unmistakably a convex

25:22

uniform, but she's wearing oversized,

25:24

obviously taken from adults, a

25:26

leather coat with a fur lining, some

25:29

nicer gloves, and maybe

25:31

a belt. And

25:33

she has very like a 20, 2060

25:35

vintage for you. 20,

25:37

2060 vintage for

25:40

you, 2060 2060 era Air

25:42

Jordans, which are, when

25:44

she takes steps, you see that

25:46

they light up, and that's what

25:48

the red light is. She There's

25:50

also a massive oversized

25:53

stuffed nearly to breaking point backpack

25:55

By the time you

25:57

and and Denton are.

26:00

in the room. She looks at the

26:02

two of you and she just whispers under

26:04

her breath, only loud enough for you

26:06

to hear, you killed them. And then she

26:08

turns around and dives into another vent going

26:10

north. Well, that's what we're heading anyway. So

26:13

get the about that soon, I suppose. The

26:15

rest of you come out. Yeah.

26:17

You, the rest of you definitely heard

26:19

that something happened. You definitely that squeaking

26:22

noise. Whether or not not you question Oskie about

26:24

it is up to you. Did you

26:26

catch what that was? Yeah, Toss a child with

26:28

squeaky shoes. They headed in the

26:30

same direction that we will, I gestured at

26:32

the vent. So sure we can talk to

26:34

her if we catch up. Did they,

26:36

were families on this station? Yeah, there would have Okay, cool,

26:38

cool, cool. So it's not abnormal for there to

26:40

be a child. No, no, no. No,

26:43

no, there were families,

26:45

yes. But I think

26:47

you're thinking of like the

26:49

crew or security families? No, but

26:51

there were families here. Oh, okay,

26:53

cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. So

26:56

see that there is is the

26:58

entrance that you came through,

27:00

but there is a passageway going

27:02

west, a passageway going east, and that

27:04

vent going north. The

27:06

vent going north says nothing

27:08

about its destination, but

27:11

the passageway east says cell complex

27:13

B, science bay B, containment B,

27:15

engineering. The way going west says

27:17

core drilling and side. Okay, well, we'll go east then. But

27:19

do I think, just based on how

27:21

we've moved through the facility, that if

27:23

we go east, we're going to hit

27:25

that flooded Probably, yeah. so we'll take the the

27:27

pass the vent. Is there any time for me

27:29

to take a look at some of

27:31

these bodies? It doesn't seem like it.

27:34

If you want, you can stay behind.

27:36

Do you like voice this? Yeah,

27:39

like wonder what, I I mean, this

27:41

seems like an abnormal amount of

27:43

dead people. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, what about

27:45

this? You stay here, look at

27:47

the bodies, and then once

27:49

the lights are on, you can

27:51

head to the science base to whatever

27:54

piqued your interest start collecting some of

27:56

that data. Sounds good. good.

27:59

All right. So you're staying behind? Yeah. I

28:01

would highly recommend we stay together. These

28:03

bodies will still be here after we

28:05

turn the lights back on. We can come

28:07

back and you can investigate the bodies

28:10

in Well, I'll leave that

28:12

in the capable hands of Gideon as

28:14

to what she decides to do. No

28:17

one's going to stay behind to security.

28:21

No. I ain't staying behind. Yeah, Gideon's squishiness is problematic.

28:23

Now I'll follow along for now.

28:25

You're right. Dead people are going to

28:27

stay dead. I would recommend that.

28:29

It seems like the smart option.

28:31

We'll climb in the vet. right.

28:33

right. Denton leading the way again? Yeah, Yeah. OK.

28:35

assuming it goes it goes dead to me,

28:37

Cal. No worries. OK. yes. You

28:40

get to the engineering. Yes. Immediately you

28:42

see another one of those vents

28:44

going north again and you see the

28:46

red sneakers going in that. So

28:48

the kid has gone north again. again. There

28:51

is a corridor to your east. The

28:53

room to your west is marked as

28:55

core drilling. So that be deeper, be going

28:57

deeper into the core of this place.

28:59

OK, the engineering

29:01

room itself is it's covered.

29:04

Oh, sorry, this was also in medical. I'm

29:07

so sorry. I should have mentioned this

29:09

as you were going through medical as

29:11

well. You know, those creepers you saw on the

29:13

submarine? They're here and they're alive. Oh,

29:15

boy. So you see when they're alive,

29:17

instead of black and shriveled, they are bulbous

29:19

and green. You can see

29:22

as well they it's like something's traveling

29:24

through them. They a little bit

29:26

as something passes through them. You

29:28

see in the the center, they're kind

29:30

of there's a V-shaped in them that

29:32

runs the all of the creepers.

29:34

they spill out like some sort

29:36

of root system going through both

29:38

medical and also in engineering. You

29:41

see they all over the walls.

29:43

They go everywhere. It's impossible to

29:45

tell where they start or where they

29:47

come from because they're a consistent size,

29:49

the entire length. All you know is

29:52

go in all fucking directions and

29:54

they're all over these rooms. In

29:56

that little V-shaped groove, you can see

29:58

tiny little taste buds, sillier. Little. Wavering,

30:00

softly, little barbs. Not barbs, that implies

30:02

they're sharp. They look

30:04

they look soft. Okay. Weird.

30:07

Like little hairs. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That is fascinating. They are

30:09

all over as well and you would

30:11

have been walking you would have

30:13

been walking almost in them going

30:15

through the vent. Whenever you get close

30:17

to them as you get as

30:19

you near those little cilia, They

30:21

move as if they're reaching out

30:23

to to you If you brush against

30:25

them They feel a bit spongy

30:27

and a bit wet, but nothing

30:29

bad happens. I still do my

30:31

absolute job, I'm as not get touched

30:33

by them. No That seems like a

30:35

good idea. Askew, are these? I

30:38

am on a need to -know basis as well Cal.

30:40

And I clearly didn't need

30:42

to know It very must

30:44

have something to do what they doing. Of

30:46

course, specifics of what it is

30:48

Impossible to say other than that engineering

30:50

looks, a nuclear reactor

30:53

that operates this facility You

30:55

can see that it is

30:57

acid damage all over it

30:59

in spotches, like fucking Dalmatian spots. is damage

31:01

one of those is quite big

31:04

and you see a green

31:06

light and you hear wong, wong,

31:09

wong, wong inside there

31:11

the room feels

31:13

radioactive. In fact, it would be hot in

31:15

this room, which you know is a sign

31:17

of radiation Do I know what needs

31:19

to be done in engineering to turn it

31:21

back on? It looks like the it needs

31:23

to be repaired. Do I think we

31:25

have the time You maybe... maybe

31:30

What do you mean by the time Basically, what

31:32

thinking is well, I don't want to

31:34

go in there. So, and I don't I think deuce

31:36

will be more immune to radiation than the rest

31:38

of us. So my plan is to get

31:40

back out of the vent into medical and

31:42

send deuce in there to fix it But

31:44

I don't know how long it's going to I

31:46

hate that we have the same plan You

31:48

really an engineer so you don't know

31:50

you could just ask deuce. He's here. Okay.

31:52

I will deuce obviously there's

31:54

some damage has been sustained

31:56

in the engineering If you

31:58

were to attempt... to repair it, how

32:00

long do you think that would take? Caean

32:02

climbs into engineering. I'm assuming, by the

32:04

way, I'm assuming everyone has arranged themselves at

32:07

one point so that everyone's had a

32:09

look into this room, But then were back in

32:11

medical. yeah. Yeah, Yeah, you're not, at no

32:13

point, are you spending more than 10

32:15

seconds in this room. Deuce goes

32:17

in, in, you see him from your

32:19

vantage point, you see him climb

32:21

up onto the reactor. There's little

32:23

ladders that let you get access to the

32:25

top and all around the space. He goes

32:27

over to that big hole and you watch as

32:29

the plastic, the soft plastic that

32:31

makes up his weird fucked up crash dummy

32:33

face. You watch it burn, that's the

32:36

down into it. Then he

32:38

climbs back down, comes over to

32:40

you. Both his little green

32:42

lights are stuttering now because fucked

32:44

up. He doesn't need them to

32:46

see. they're They're just for us, really. Bismarck

32:49

Holdings thought that giving him

32:51

little eyes would make him seem

32:53

more pleasant, but it really

32:55

doesn't. Plus they needed an evil indicator

32:57

Dus So when you know, yeah, when have of course,

32:59

the killbot has red eyes

33:02

instead. He comes back

33:04

and says, it would take

33:06

possibly hours. Caean Okay, we're

33:08

in like the B of

33:10

this facility. Dus Uh,

33:12

yeah, kind of. Yeah. yeah.

33:15

Caean But do think there

33:17

might be a second engineering bay? It

33:19

doesn't say engineering B, it just says engineering,

33:21

so probably not. not. hours, hours, it's such a

33:23

a long time. Caean There's no other

33:25

way to fix it, unfortunately. Bae Ask you,

33:27

what is your end goal here? Because

33:29

if you were trying to turn the

33:31

facility on and that's gonna take a long time

33:33

and you had. an an additional plan down

33:35

the line where you need it to go. is Is

33:38

this necessary? Dus Well, I

33:40

would like to talk

33:42

to the facilities AI with

33:44

without power, I cannot do.

33:46

Additionally, I need

33:49

to contact Nagano isami. But

33:51

without the comms, I

33:53

cannot do that. I do not know where

33:55

she is. What is Nagano's position here? She

33:58

is some kind of engineer. Uh,

34:00

Uh, five hours,

34:03

But what other choice do I

34:06

have With assistance, I could reduce

34:08

this time to ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch. or

34:11

two hours. Would

34:13

station have its own

34:15

androids? Yes. Do

34:17

I know where be kept? They

34:19

would probably be kept either in

34:22

the living quarters or in,

34:24

and you would have seen little

34:26

for the androids in the living, in

34:28

the living quarters B that

34:30

you went through. but none of them

34:32

were manned. that or Sorry, none of them,

34:34

none charging there. either the living quarters

34:36

or there would probably be a

34:39

separate barracks for security personnel. Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch. Mmm.

34:41

Nobody, I I think, do

34:43

I think of a

34:45

human being when there they

34:48

would just cook within? It is

34:50

impossible to say ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch

34:52

bad it would be

34:54

per person. But I

34:56

would estimate that ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch. Such as

34:58

exposure not cause death, but

35:00

would cause ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch. Possible

35:02

cancer in the future. Do

35:04

we? It's the future. Mm-hmm.

35:07

our cure for cancer? Depends

35:09

on the level of radiation. If

35:11

Deuce is telling you possible cancer,

35:13

then he's probably, he's also assessed treatment.

35:16

Yeah, based with, okay. So it would shorten

35:18

someone's lifespan. Yeah, I don't think there's any

35:20

amount of money I can offer these

35:22

people. That would get them to go with

35:24

I don't think Gideon is working on

35:26

a money. basis. Is it? Is

35:28

it? Do

35:32

offer Gideon a shortened lifespan

35:34

for the possibility of

35:36

exploring the infinite? Well,

35:40

so Deuce told me it would take

35:42

him hours. But with help, it

35:44

could take anywhere from one to

35:47

two. But he would need somebody else

35:49

there. And it would theoretically

35:52

a great deal of possible

35:54

cancer to go in there in the

35:56

shortened lifespan. Now I'm assuming. Nobody

36:00

interested in that case.

36:02

that case. Jack

36:05

Denton puts his finger on his nose. We

36:07

We would to find some androids

36:09

that could help Duce in

36:12

engineering fix the station. Yeah.

36:14

I mean, do we have

36:16

a time limit here?

36:18

Not necessarily, but as

36:20

you saw, it is a hostile place.

36:22

Sure. But it also seems like a

36:24

lot of those people are dead

36:26

or on the quick way to death

36:28

if if status of their malnutrition is.

36:30

So five hours, give us them some

36:33

to poke around the the medical

36:35

bay and need to get a look

36:37

at some of those creeper things. And

36:40

yeah. OK. Duce

36:42

be doing it alone. He

36:45

He puts thumbs up. Okay.

36:48

Denton, Cal, make sure nobody, you an

36:50

eye out. Gideon myself will

36:52

look at some of these

36:54

corpses and creepers. Jack,

36:56

do do you want to keep an eye

36:58

through the vent at Duce?

37:01

I'll keep an eye in this room

37:03

And Duce, if you if anything

37:05

starts to go bad or you just

37:07

let us know. He

37:10

gives another thumbs up. OK. Thank

37:42

you. So
