Welcome to ChronoMouse, the time-travelling, interdimensional game of Cat and Mouse!
This 1-Player RTD is about time/dimensional-travelling. It will use a d100 instead of the usual d6. You will be playing as a man with a wrist-worn time/dimension travel machine, on the run from many, many people who want you dead. The point is to try and survive until you get saved, something that has a very small chance of happening each time you travel between dimensions. What I mean is: Every time you travel, I roll up some random place. There is an extremely small chance that you will - in fact - get to the place you want and win. If you want to join, just say so below. No standardized character sheet needed. On the other hand, you can give as much information as you want on the guy (or girl) you are playing, and as long as it isn't really.. absurd.. I'll happily accept it. (Note: You won't get any bonuses to your roles because of your background, though you might possess knowledge a "basic" character would not)
Here is how the ChronoMouse (your time/dimension machine) works: When you choose to go to a new place, say some random, three-digit number, and that dimension will be "assigned" that number. Then I will roll a bunch of dice to decide what place it is. From then on, whenever you choose to change dimensions again, you can instead choose to go to that dimension instead by punching in its number (that means that you will not have that chance of winning on that "jump" since you are going to a previsited location). The time-traveling aspect is a little different, and much easier, to use. You type in the time you want to go to, and it will send you there then (plus or minus a few seconds - or minutes if you're really unlucky). Every time you use the ChronoMouse's dimension traveling capabilities, you will be unable to travel through dimensions for 30-60 minutes (you can still travel through time). After that period, though, you will still have to expose the ChronoMouse to sunlight so that it can be used again. When you travel through time, you will have to wait an equal time to that you have traveled divided by 2 (ex: You travel 5 minutes into the past or future, and you will have to wait 2 minutes and 30 seconds before you time-travel again). Your "time-travel" cooldown will in no way affect your dimension-traveling ( and visa versa). Your ChronoMouse also acts as a world clock, telling you the time, date, and year to which you travel. There is also a little readout which will tell you how much time you have remaining until you can time-travel or dimension-travel. Your Chronomouse is bound to you and cannot be taken from you unless you are dead. There are other functions yet to be discovered.
Now to the rules: I will not have a waitlist, as I do not believe that by the time it gets to a person, he will be interested (it will take a while). Also, please post often. If you are going to be unable to post for a while, please tell me in advance, and I will wait until you return.
That's all I have to say. Just dive in and prepare to have fun!
-
I love multi dimensions
In
Oh yeah, character: Ill just use Jenkins, mild mannered business manager.
I should really get back to that someday
-
You remember... running. Running for your life. You punched in the first number you could think of. Welcome to 000, buddy.
You find yourself in a forest, beside a tree. When you look at it, you realize it is actually 3 different trees winding upwards like thick rope. Past the tree you hear laughing cheering and the sound of music. It is night, but there is light coming from the place past the tree.
-
head towards the light and the noise
-
You round the tree and see quite an unexpected sight. In a large clearing, humanoid beings are sitting on stumps surrounding 10 large tables. On each of the 10 tables are 4 humanoids, doing what looks like playing some strange musical instruments. The instruments seem to be perfectly fashioned out of natural material, and bear an uncanny resemblance to lyres. All in all, there are probably 400 of these beings watching the performance. Many of them are not sitting down, and some seem to be dancing to the rhythm of the music and the flashing of the lights strung from the evenly spaced trees in the clearing. The scene is beautiful, but you know that you should go. You don't know when your pursuers might arrive.
-
examine ChronoMouse
-
It bears a striking resemblance to a wrist watch, but bigger and with a touch screen. You hear calls me surprise from the tables. A few me them have noticed you!
-
Grab a lyre from someone and start playing
-
Grab a lyre from someone and start playing
DO IT, YES!
-
I thought it was one player?
-
You approach the tables, while the forest folk standing still, curious and apprehensive at the same time. At the tables, you hold out your hand and gesture to the lyres, but they are unwilling to give up their instruments. PS You have another 55 minutes until you can dimension-travel again.
-
Do rapid hand gestures to convey that my livelihood depends on getting a lyre
-
((I don't think you're taking this too seriously, but sure))
[31] The musicians back away from you and one sets his lyre carefully in front of you. He opens his mouth and your ChronoMouse buzzes while he says, in perfect English, "Take the instrument, but please don't hurt us." You think they might have misunderstood your meaning.
-
Try to convey that I come in peace
-
[72 - 10] You think you calm them down a little. Your Chronomouse lets out a light buzz as one says to another, "Can he... understand us?" Suddenly you feel a change in the air, a sort of static whine. The others also seem to feel it, and start backing away from the side of the forest from which you came. Your Chronowatch's display has the words, "Unknown device detected. Impact imminent."
-
Start running! Running away!
-
[09] You run like the wind, out of the clearing and into the thickets. When you make it through - though - you find yourself in a thick swamp, with murky sludge up to your knees. Behind you, you hear a crackle and a gust of wind. After a brief pause, you hear a hysterical voice in the air. "I can see you Jenkins!" You find it slightly amusing that it the voice of your business partner, Nale.
-
Nale? From Accounting? What are you doing here?
-
"Accounting?! Is that all that I an to you now?" he yells hysterically, "Am I nobody now? We were PARTNERS, Jenkins. PARTNERS! You're just throw me away for some minor dispute?"
Then you remember what happened: You and Nale were cofounders of Charon, a company working secretly on devices that could move between dimensions. One day when your company had an especially great breakthrough, you and him had a... disagreement. He believed that he should give the technology to the government. You of course knew the consequences. He the government found out, they would not only seize the equipment, but do things so terrible with it, it would be unthinkable. He was unconvinced. So that night you stole the most expensive piece of equipment - the ChronoMouse - and ran for it.
You snap out of your memories to see that he is now much closer and waving a gun around. Crap.
-
How the heck did you follow me here? You can't have the Mouse, Nate! The government can't have this Mouse! Everything will go to waste!
-
"You're not the only one with access to the lab, Jenkins," he says as he holds up his own wrist anchored device. You see it is a early prototype nicknamed the "Hitchhiker." It was unable to travel through dimensions like it was supposed to, but could follow "rifts" created by other devices in their wake. It was pretty damn useless until now.
"Now hand over the ChronoMouse, Jenkins. That's not a question, it's an order."
-
This dimension...has horrible creatures. GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?
Point behind Nale while feigning a horrified look on my face. Deck him with the Lyre if he's distracted
-
[85] He spins around, gun in hand, toward the direction you pointed. You leap out of the mud [38] but he's too fast. He turns at you with the gun and fires a shot over your right shoulder. "That was a warning shot," he threatens.
((I'll be on all the way until midnight California time, so if you stay on we can churn out like 4-5 pages until I need to sleep...))
-
So tell me, what are you gonna do if I just hand this over?
-
"We'll just all go back where we started and forget anything happened, and then we'll hand it over into safer hands who clearly know what they're doing," he says, "so get up and follow me."
-
Check the recharge time on the Chronomouse
-
You glance down. 51 minutes remaining until you can dimension travel, but you notice that the time travel is not currently in cooldown ((forgot about it?)). "Well," says Nale, "what will it be?"
-
Time travel back to when I just got the Lyre
-
You quickly punch in the time, and slam your hand down hard on the button. [60-5 vs 23] Before Nale can even react, you're gone.
After a brief flash of light, you see the thick bushes that you trampled through now undisturbed, too dense to look through. Suddenly your ChronoMouse lets out a buzz and you hear from the clearing, "Where.. where did he go?" You recognize it to be that of the beings.
-
Stealthliy take a look
-
[66] You peek through the foliage and see the musicians carefully get off the tables, one of them without a lyre. You look down at the lyre that you took with you. Suddenly you understand: When going back in time, the ChronoMouse must have deleted all copies of the things you took with you, including the copy of yourself, to prevent a paradox. To them, it must have looked like you and the lyre just.. disappeared.
Suddenly you feel a change in the air, a sort of static whine. Your Chronowatch's display has the words, "[TMB-42] detected. Impact imminent."
-
See if I can conceal myself
-
You do not need to do anything to conceal yourself, the dense foliage already does that. Suddenly, you hear a crackle and a gust of wind. After a brief pause, you hear a hysterical voice in the air. "Where are you Jenkins?!" It is the voice of your business partner, Nale.
-
Keep quiet and see what he does
-
He proceeds to wander about a little, checking behind the tables and trees. "Jenkins! Come out you coward!" He yells in that distinctive whine. "Come out where I can see you!"
-
Ninja my way to where the tree beings are.
-
PTW.
-
You skirt around the bush, and start sneaking among the trees, [35] but suddenly you hear a gunshot fill the air. The bullet zings over your right shoulder. "That was a warning shot," he threatens behind you, "Now give me the ChronoMouse."
-
Stand up with my hands raised
What are you gonna do, shoot me?
-
Silence. Then you hear a gunshot and a bullet whizzes past you. "Damn right I will," he says, "if you don't give me that ChronoMouse."
-
Make a run for it to where the tree creatures are
-
You make a dash into the forest. [100 vs 66] You leave him in the dust, but he fires one desperate shot. You hear a deafening blast, realizing seconds later that it was no gunshot at all. You when your hearing returns, you hear a piercing scream in the air.
-
See what's happening
-
You look behind you to see Nale, speechless, his arms scarred with shrapnel. On the ground are the remnants of his gun. He turns towards you. "I'm still not dead, am I?," he says, and walks towards you, clearly in shock.
((Sorry, gotta clock in for the night, I think. Parents came home early.))
-
i guess this is a good time for you to get some rest
Thump him in the head with my lyre
-
((managed to squeeze in one more action))
As he walks up to you, you take your lyre [80] and give him a good, solid knock on the head. He falls like a bag of bricks onto the forest floor.
-
That should buy me some time
See if there's anything of note on Nale
-
You riffle through Nales pockets, but he doesn't have anything in them. The only real thing of value on Nale is his "Hitchhiker."
-
Leave Nale be and begin exploring
-
After 5 minutes of looking around the forest, you come across a huge lake, spanning far in all directions (think Lake Superior). It lies undisturbed with no animal life in sight.
-
Look at the lake from its shores. Disturbed the water a little by poking it with the lyre
-
You observe the lake for a minute or so, but see nothing out of the order nary. Upon dipping your lyre into, however, the water starts to hiss and bubble. When you take out the lyre, the wood is cracked and warped.
-
Acidic. Best not to fall in
Walk along the shore, and check my ChronoMouse
-
You start skirting along the lake, the sun rising in front of you. You glance down at your ChronoMouse and see that the dimension travel cool down has 39 minutes remaining, and the time travel cool down has finished. You also notice a small button that wasn't there before. It is in the corner of the touch screen, and has a "!" In the middle. It is pulsating softly.
-
Tap the button
-
A little screen comes up with the words, "Updates available. Proceed? (y/n)" and two buttons labeled "y" and "n."
-
Y
-
Your ChronoMouse beeps and reads, "Download initiated." and returns to the normal screen. You see a new readout has been created, labeled "Updates." Underneath it are the words, "Ready at next jump." You look up again just in time to hear a roar echo from the forest behind you.
-
Start running away from the noise
-
[89] You run steadily away from the noise, its intensity fading as you run farther and farther away. At last, you are exhausted and collapse on the ground, beside the lake.
-
Pick myself up and see if the update button has any info on the new update
-
You get up and click on the button. [60] The words "Information not available" pop up on your screen. Suddenly they are replaced by more words, "Unknown device detected." You shiver as the wind starts to blow and a slight hum fills the air.
-
Go find a hiding place....again
-
You look around hastily, [97] and out of the corner of your eye you see a disturbance in the ground. When you touch it, you feel something underneath give away to reveal a trapdoor. You jump down immediatly, into a small thin shaft about 6 feet deep, landing harmlessly on a pile of leaves on the bottom. You climb halfway up the makeshift ladder and shut the trapdoor just in time to hear a woosh and electric crackle in the air. Then there is only silence.
-
Wait. Also, does this trapdoor lead to anywhere?
-
You look around and see that the only thing here, inside the place underneath the trapdoor, is the 6 ft tall, 2 ft by 2 ft area with a makeshift ladder attached to the wall and a pile of soft leaves at the bottom. Above you hear someone call out, "Jenkins. Where did you take the Chronomouse?.. Jenkins?"
-
Keep quiet and wait until the voice leaves
-
"Jenkins? Where are you?" You wait for a few minutes, and suddenly you hear the voice say, "Jenkins! There you are!" and you hear footsteps coming in your direction.
-
Time jump back 10 minutes
-
You jump back in time...
You find yourself still in the same place as before, with nothing changed.
-
Climb out of the hole and wait
-
Climb out of the hole, and sit down on the ground. After 5 minutes, you hear your watch ding, signifying that the time-travel cooldown is complete. Suddenly, you hear a loud roar blasting out of the forest from down the shore.
-
See if there's anything of use around me that I might be able to fasten into another weapon
-
You look around the lake shore, [63] and find a clump of reeds sticking out of the ground. They might not make good weapons but would make very sturdy binding.
-
Grab them for now
-
[13] Theyre a bit too sturdy for you, and despite your best efforts remain firmly planted in the ground. Suddenly you hear a crackle in the air and a man in a lab coat teleports in next to you. How could you have not noticed? "Jenkins," he says, "You have to listen to me. Your life is in danger."
-
You're....you're not Nale...
-
"No, though I wouldn't be surprised if he was here. Now listen to me. Most of the people you know; Nale, your lead scientist, his underlings, and even some agents of the government all want you dead. Heck, even the places you'll be going to will have some people who'll want you dead. You know why? The ChronoMouse. Once you put it on, its impossible to take off unless you die. And if you don't get out of here, that's what will happen." He pauses for a second. "You want to know why they all want it so much? Ill tell you. Us scientists never told you or Nale, but up until the ChronoMouse, none of the prototypes could ACTUALLY travel through time. That night we finished it, everyone wanted it. I guess its a good thing you got it first." He sighs, exhausted after his monologue. "Here," he says, "take it," and hands you his device. "You've started the update, I see. Good. The first one should allow it to attach to exterior devices. After it finishes, attach this. It should decrease the cool down significantly." He them proceeds to punch in commands on his device. "And remember," he says, "don't stop. Ever." Then, before you can even look closely at his device, he presses a button, and disappears, leaving you alone, his device still on your open palm.
-
Check to see if the update is complete
-
((Thanks for pointing that out so.. humbly. Typo corrected.))
You look down at the ChronoMouse's readout and see that the words "Ready at next jump" are still there. You also glance at the dimension travel cooldown and notice that you still have 23 minutes remaining. Damn.
-
Keep on exploring then
-
You delve once again into the forest, and after much walking, [66] soon come across a very strange sight. The trees have all been twisted into houses and huts. You notice there are also more of the forest folk inside these homes, waiting for you to pass.
-
Try to communicate with one of the tree beings. Does the ChronoMouse have a translator for me?
-
Umm, how? What will you say?
-
I come in peace! I want to understand and learn where I am!
-
You call out to the forest folk around you, [99] and to your surprise they start to leave their hits and walk toward you in awe. They look at you, studying you more then you them, and at last one of them steps forward and says, "Welcome, stranger, why are you here?" You notice that the ChronoMouse's usual buzzing when translating has quieted to a soft hum.
-
I stumbled upon this village by accident and I'm trying to get a sense of where I am
-
"You are in the Forest of the Kind. All of us here have renounced the ways of the outside world and moved here to live in peace. This is our only refuge against the outside world. Where are you from, stranger?"
-
I come from a faraway place known as Earth. Why would you need refuge from the outside world? Did something happen?
-
"Earth, never heard of it. As for your question, its... complicated. We chose to leave because we did not agree with their ideas." Suddenly a hiss fills the air - like two pieces of sandpaper being rubbed together - growing louder with every passing moment.
-
Do you all hear that sound?
-
Your question goes unanswered as the forest folk retreat into their huts in alarm. "Follow quickly," says the one, motioning you to follow, urgently. He then hides inside his own house, waiting for you. The hissing grows to a crescendo.
-
Duck into the hut quickly
-
[20 vs 98] As you run towards the huts, you stumble over a gnarly root. As you stand up, the hissing stops with a loud pop, and you immidiatly hear a voice behind you. "Jenkins! There you are!" The man does not sound very happy.
-
Inspect: Who's THIS asshole
-
You turn around and are not too startled that it is in fact someone you know. It's the head scientist. "Jenkins, give that ChronoMouse to me," he snarls, "You don't know what you're doing. I worked for YEARS on that goddamned thing! It's mine!"
-
Greg, let me guess, you too had a prototype device capable of following me
What's this guy's story for having beef with me?
-
((He's the lead scientist. He's sort of pissed that you stole his invention.))
"Oh, Jenkins. It's more than that. I prepared for a day like this. That's why I put a tracker in the Chronomouse that this -" he points to a device on his wrist -" thing can follow. After you left, it only took a matter of time for me to catch up to you... Now - let this be the last time I repeat myself - give me the Chronomouse."
-
To do what? Give it to Feds like how Nale wanted?
-
((No he just wants it because its his.))
-
Inspect: is he armed?
-
[55] You look him over and see that he has a bulge in his right pocket. "WELL DAMN IT! GIVE IT TO ME!" he yells and and whips his switchblade out of his pocket. "No!" Yells the being you spoke to and leaps at him from behind. Greg moves to the side with uncanny speed, and plunges his switchblade into the beings chest.
-
No!
Move to attack with my lyre!
-
You rush to attack, [83 - 10] and hit Greg in his head with your lyre. At hat point your lyre - cracked and warped - gives way into three parts. Greg is knocked out by the impact, and falls to the ground, letting go of his knife. Your friend slowly pulls the knife out of him, grunting. All the folk rush to him and start tending to his wounds.
-
Are you okay?
-
"Yes," he replies, "or I will be soon." You notice that the folk are all bandaging him up with green cloth. [76] It seems to be very succulent and lowers his blood loss significantly.
-
Inspect Head scientist Greg for anything useful
-
[47] after searching for a minute you find nothing but some change in his pockets. He does have a his device still on his wrist, completely undamaged in the fight. His knife is also lying on the ground here.
-
Take the knife and jab it into his device
-
You take the knife, and crouching beside the device, jab the knife downward, [24] but the blow bounces off harmlessly.
-
Leave him be, pocket the knife and glance at the ChronoMouse
-
You glance down at the ChronoMouse and are delighted to see that you have only 7 minutes remaining until you can dimension travel again. Judging from the fact it is morning, it will be easy to recharge once the cool down is finished. The folk have continued bandaging, paying no mind to you or Greg's teleport device.
-
Examine Greg's device
-
You look at the device and are genuinely surprised at what it is. This device was one of the first ever made, before the scientists even made dimension travel possible, or even dreamed of time travel. It was their first attempt to get someone to travel anywhere at all, so short-ranged teleportation was the first choice. Why would he take one of the most basic device instead of the later ones? As you look it over, you see it has been slightly modified with extra wires on it and a small chip taped to the side. It looks like he did it in a hurry, from the sheer sloppiness of it all.
-
Cut the wires
-
You take the knife and cut the wires off of the device, and the poorly attached chip follows. They fizzle slightly on the ground, then lie still. At last the beings part from their leader and he stands up, supported by one of the others. "Thank you for saving my life," he tells you, "I would like to repay you in anyway possible." Each of the other beings also gives you their gratitude.
-
Thank you for hosting me, but I will soon travel elsewhere. Would you kindly have anything that would be useful?
-
He thinks for a while. At last he says, "I see that you are being hunted by many. Though we can provide no weapons to protect you, we can supply you with aid against your wounds." He turns toward one of the beings, "Please fetch the man a nice stock of our bandages. He will need them on our journey." Complying, the being and others return in about 3 minutes with about 5 yards of the stuff. They set down at your feet. "Goodbye," says your friend, "and may you have a great and lasting journey."
-
Thank you
Pocket the materials
-
"You are very much welcome," he says. My people can send a guide with you until our village is no longer in sight, if you wish so. Below you, Greg gives a soft grunt. "We shall deposit him in a safe place well outside our village before he wakes up," he adds.
-
I'll follow your guide. I should inform you that another person tried to attack me earlier not that far from here.
-
"It is alright, friend. We shall deceive them and give them the wrong way if they so ask." "Take this," he adds, and hands you Greg's teleportation device, "we have no need for it. Goodbye." The guide begins leading out of the village.
-
Take it and follow the guide
-
You take the device and say your goodbyes. When you are a minute outside the village, your ChronoMouse lets out a loud beep.
-
Well, let's see where this goes
Jump to 259
-
You find yourself in the middle of a large , dark plaza. The moon illuminates a marble statue next to you, depicting a man holding a glass ball. As you look around, an automated voice sounds from a speaker pole. "Curfew is now in full effect. Anyone found outside will be detained and questioned. Have a good night."
-
Oh...shit
Find the nearest building to enter
-
Your ChronoMouse lets out a short beep, and the screen lights up in the darkness. As you stealthily leave the plaza, you take a glance at your screen. It reads, "Update complete: Ready for attachment," before going dark once more. Just outside the plaza entrance, you hear a voice in the darkness. "You are under arrest for violating curfew. Put your hands on the back of your head immediately. Do NOT resist."
-
Comply
-
You put your hands on the back of your head, and feel cold, hard handcuffs close around one of your wrists. As he puts on your second cuff, you hear it tap against the screen of the ChronoMouse. There is a flash of light and you then you are all alone, still standing in the street, handcuff still on your wrist. As you look around, you hear a message, like the one before, coming out of the speaker poles: "Attention. Please return to your homes. Curfew will begin in 10 minutes."
-
Quickly read the update notes on my chronomouse
-
You glance over the updates. It seems that the new update allows you to attach an exterior device to the ChronoMouse. Suddenly you remember what the scientist told you. He said that if you attached the device to the Chronomouse, it would make it's cool down shorter. Interesting.
-
Do exactly that
-
You take the device and effortlessly attach it to the side of the ChronoMouse. After a few seconds, the screen lights up with the words, "Attachment complete!" You see now that your Dimension travel cool down has been lowered to 24 minutes! Your handcuffs jingle as the metal rings pull against each other. You'll have to do something about that.
-
Quickly look for any small lockpicking implement
-
[79] You look hard, but do not find any sort of implement that might aid you.
((These types of things you don't find lying around. Even if you could your character cannot pick locks. He's a business manager, not a burglar.))
-
Time to find to someplace to go, standing around in an open plaza isn't the best course of action
-
You search around for a whole 5 minutes, [27] but only run into locked stores and businesses. As you begin to lose hope, you wander in front of a familiar looking building. As you look up, you see the name blazed across the front of this 7 story building. "Archon"
-
ENTER
-
You walk up to the main doors, locked with a key card lock. You doubtfully swipe your CHARON card - and to your surprise - it opens. You look inside the lobby and see that it looks exactly like the one you remember, except it is entirely devoid of people and has "ARCHON" written across the desk instead of "CHARON." To the left is a door which leads to a meeting room, which is barely used, and not even the janitors go in there anymore. On the right lie the bathrooms and a small room with cubicles, also unused. At the back are two sets of elevators, which can access the co-founder's offices at the top, to the labs and storeroom in the basements.
-
Take the elevator to the storeroom
-
You punch in the floor number on the elevator buttons. You once again swipe your card, and once again are surprised when it worked. This all feels... strange. Why is it here? Why on some alien dimension? How can your card work? How come it's all the same?! Your thoughts are interrupted by the elevator doors opening. You look at the storeroom. It is the same as the one you remember, with boxes of wires and electrical equipment on floor to ceiling shelves running from one end of the room to the next, with a little space to allow people to go around the perimeter. You remember that there is a locked door in the back which is the storeroom for past prototypes.
-
is there anything here to help me escape from my cuffs? Metal cutters perhaps?
-
You walk to one of the boxes and begin searching through it. [100] As you look, you find a pair of heavy duty bolt cutters. You effortlessly take them and snap off the handcuffs. Suddenly you hear a low thud as the elevator you took starts to ascend.
-
Explore the past prototypes
-
You walk over to the door, and once again swipe your card through the reader. As the door opens, you see a guard spring up from his seat and take out his radio. "Johnson! Its Jenkins!" he yells into the receiver. He then shoves the radio into his pocket and pulls out his pistol. "Don't move."
-
Johnson.....who?
-
"That's non of your business," he replies. You hear the elevator ding.
-
Wait and see what happens
-
The elevator doors open and out steps another security guard. "I heard the message, I was on my way anyway," he says, and draws his gun. "cuff him?" he asks the other security guard, and he nods. The man approaches, and you feel what will happen when they take you in won't be good.
-
Take the bolt cutters and swing it at their heads
-
((Who's first?))
-
((The guy with the gun))
-
You suddenly lash out at the officer, [27 - 30] but he jumps back and dodges your blow. He then fires off a shot, which completely misses and manages to hit the guard behind you! The gun wielding guard steadies his aim for another shot.
-
Weave and smack him!
-
You weave to the side and raise your arm to smack him, [init. 06 vs 47] but he manages to get a shot in before you. Your chest bleeds heavily and you feel like your ribs are in fire. You swing wildly at him, [70 - 15] and hit him in the arm. He drops his gun.
-
Grab the gun and give it to the guard, one bullet at a time
-
You make a snatch for the gun. [90 - 15 vs 06] and you take it before he even bends down. [98 - 15 vs 48] you fire off a bullet before he can react once more, [82 - 15] and it finds it's mark. As the guard hold up a hand to his neck in a weak effort to staunch the blood, you hear a crackling noise behind you and dodge just in time to avoid the second guard's taser.
-
shoot the other guard, preferably until he's dead
-
You fire at the guard, [44-15] but the bullet misses and hits one of the boxes on the shelf. The security guard whips out his gun and gets on one knee, steadying himself. "Drop your weapon," he says. Your ribs hurt even more now and you feel faint...
-
Charge and stab with the knife I had from the other dimension
-
You lower your gun and he relaxes considerably. Suddenly you charge straight at him with your knife, catching him off guard. [69 - 20 vs 23 - 10] He's to startled to shoot and you stab at him [23 - 20] but he recovers in time to duck to the side. He fires a shot at you, but hes too startled to aim correctly, and the shot hits the wall. The elevator opens and out steps another security guard.
-
Insert knife in Guard's throat
-
((The guy who shot at you or the new guy?))
-
the guy who still has a gun
-
You lash out at the guard with your knife, [78 - 20 vs 79] and as you do, he fires a shot, it whizzes past you once more. You bring your knife down, [08] but it misses him completely. [38] Suddenly you feel very sick. The smell of your blood and of the guard behind you makes you retch. You surge forward and empty the contents of last afternoon's lunch right in the guards face. The guard drops his gun on the ground and vomits in a way that would humble a skunk. After he has successfully coughed up probably a days worth of food, he promptly feints. The other guard stands, stricken.
((I rolled a 01 on how well hed take getting vomited on in the face, kay? Dont blame me, blame the dice.))
-
Take the other gun and gun down the other guard
-
You walk over to the gun and pick it up, as you do, your ribs flare up once more. [08] You scream in pain and collapse. Everything goes dark.
...And then you wake up. You look around hastily, but you're still in the storeroom. There is no blood or vomit on the floor, nor are there any guards here. You see that you also notice that your ribs are completely healed. The handcuff is still on your wrist.
-
Think: what just happened + Inspect: ChronoMouse
-
You think for a minute, and then it comes to you. The feeling you had as your eyes closed... that was the same feeling you got when you time traveled. Is that really what happened? Than why are your wounds healed? Why do you not have the gun? Why are you in front of the elevators when you blacked it in front of the prototype holding room door? you check your ChronoMouse, but all it does is prove the impossible theory. The time travel cooldown is on, and it's set for 5 minutes. The dimension travel cooldown also seems to be a little bit off. It reads you have 16 minutes left when you swear it should be less. Your thoughts are interrupted as you hear the thud of the elevator you had entered from begin to rise.
-
Hide
-
You duck behind one of the shelves just as the doors open. [53 vs 75] A guard leaves the elevator. His eyes narrow. "Step out from behind the shelves," he says.
-
Step out....and throw my knife into his chest
-
You step out from your cover. "Jenkins!" he yells. As he reaches for his radio you throw the knife. [27] You miss him completely. He stands, startled with his radio still noise belt.
-
Running shoulder tackle
-
[85] You rush the guard, knocking him to the ground. His head smacks on the stone floor and he gives out a soft moan. His arms are pinned to the ground and his ribs are quite bruised, if not broken. The prototype room door opens slowly.
-
Inspect: prototypes
-
As you approach, the security guard steps out. "Put your hands on the back of your head," he says as he points his gun at you.
-
The fuck is this and security guards
kill him
-
((...sorry))
You jump at him, [48 vs 31] and stab him before he can react. [73] You strike him in the chest, and he falls to the ground, motionless. Youve been down here before, no one could have heard anything from down here. The air is still.
-
Inspect: prototypes
-
You enter the room and look around. You see that some of the prototypes - the newer ones - have been moved into glass cases, each protected by a card reader. The rest are still piled in cardboard boxes like you remember. You have a bad feeling that if you don't have the right card for the cases, it might trigger an alarm.
-
Look at the unprotected older models
-
You look through the boxes of wires and chips, but you can't seem to concentrate. As you look around, you have the strange feeling of being watched.
-
Go back to the knocked out guards and steal their outfit, weapon, radio
-
You are halfway through changing the uniform when you hear the second elevator begin to ascend. You struggle the rest of the uniform on, and as you look up,[96] you see that the elevator has stopped one room above the lobby. That's the guard's lounge is located. And the camera room...
-
Locate cameras and disable them
-
You look around the room, [27] but with these damn shelves in the way it's hard to see anything. You seem to have gotten distracted, since you hear the elevator opening on your floor. Good thing your search has brought you into the corner of the original storage room. Behind you, you notice a door labeled "Advanced Storage." Somebody left it ajar.
-
Hide in there for now
-
You pop inside the room, closing the door soundlessly behind you. What you see is baffling. Rows upon rows of prototypes, all of them in glass cases. Most - if not all - bear a striking resemblance to the ChronoMouse.
-
See if there's a prototype that's unusual
-
You look at the prototypes. There doesn't seem to be a unique or different one, most of them are different from the others, if only just slightly. You do notice, however, that the more you go to the left, the less and less they seem like the Chronomouse. They all have nifty signs in the cases, too. One reads:
"ChronoMouse-394
Fires RAMN, but not to degree which is needed. Energy drains much too fast to make travel using RAMN discs possible. Layout too complicated. STATA does not work. IRENE does not work. No receiver module for self monitored installations. Data Screen incomprehensible."
Suddenly you hear the door handle turn.
-
dat hiding action: go!
-
You slide behind one of the rows. [62 + 10 vs 95] "Hey! You there!" he calls out, "Have you see... are you okay?" You notice belatedly that from where you are crouching from behind one of the glass cases, he must see you guard's cap. You hear footfalls coming toward you.
-
Yeah, dropped something.
Cautiously stand up
-
[04 + 10 vs 10] "Oh... okay." He looks very doubtful, but doesn't seem to see through your disguise. "What were you doing here?" he asks. He seems to snap out of his thoughts. "Jenkins! Where is he? Where is he?! Did you see him?!"
-
He's not in here! Did you check the other rooms? What happened to our backup!?
-
[16 + 10 vs 72] "...backup? I'm the backup." He looks at you. "You! You're Jenkins!" he yells, and takes his baton out. Suddenly your ChronoMouse begins to beep. "Hey, stop that," says the guard. It beeps faster and faster.
-
Check the CM (ChronoMouse)
-
The ChronoMouse's display is flashing with strange symbols. A few words also flash by, too fast to read. "Stop it! yells the guard, and you look up. You see all of the ChronoMouse dopplegangers are flashing, and their beeping fills the room. The guard swings at you with his baton. The baton swings down, and just as it is about hit you, all hell breaks loose. The world stretches, the beeping of the Chronomouse is now a long, loud whine. There is a brilliant flash of bright light. [69] You grit your teeth, but you manage to stay conscious. Then the light is gone. You open your eyes, and you feel that you are laying on the cold, wet ground. When the world stops spinning, you see that you are in the middle of a huge crater.
-
What the hell happened
-
You look around. [71] You think you're still in the same dimension, judging from your surroundings. Also, you see that this crater is still surrounded by (what's left of) the buildings that surrounded the ARCHON facility. So you're basically in the same place. You still, however, have no idea what the heck hell just happened, though from the ringing in your ears - and the fact that you can't really hear anything except that, it must have been pretty damn loud.
-
Check CM to see if there's anything new
-
The ChronoMouse's display is back to normal. Another update has begun, you notice, along with the completion of both the time travel cool down and the dimension travel cool down. Suddenly, a siren sounds at the top of the crater. Blue and red lights of a police car begin to flash and you hear a voice from a hand-held loudspeaker: "Put your hands on the back of your head! If you do not comply, you will be shot!"
-
Time to blow this joint
Jump to dimension 696
-
[88 vs 23] You slap down on the button before you even hear the shot. Then you are transported.
You appear to be in some sort of history museum. The skeleton of a mammoth is on display in front of you. You look around and find yourself face to face with a bearded man! [62] You stumble back, but you catch yourself. You realize that was just a wax statue of a caveman. You are standing in one of the exhibits. Luckily, there is no glass partition blocking of the exhibit.
-
if it's a museum, then there should be a map on a wall somewhere. Look for that
-
You get off the exhibit. You wander the entire museum, [13] but the place is like a maze to you. You haven't found a map at all, or a way out. Right now you seem to have trudged into the "Future?" section of the museum.
-
Is the CM update finished yet?
-
It still has 45 minutes remaining.
-
Look around, is there anything unusual?
-
[66] You don't see anything different from what you'd expect in a "Future" section. Space-ships. DNA transplants. Time travel. Sentient robots. All that kind of stuff.
-
examine the time travel display
-
There's nothing of too much interest, but as you read it, a part of it catches your eye: "...could be possible in 2030, but a report of a valuable prototype gone missing has raised the expected time..." You hear a tour guide coming toward the room, talking to a group of people. So the museum isn't closed!
((You have another 25 minutes remaining until you can dimension travel.))
-
Try to covertly join the tour group and listen
-
The group approaches the room and you hear the tor guide speaking, "Here is the last part of our tour, the future section." You hear a few "oohs" and "ahhs." The tour guide than enters the room, group in tow. [67 vs 11] You slip unnoticed into the group, and continues her speech. "This is Dr. Gregory Almman, a very well respected man. As some of you may know, he was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize this year..." Your concentration fades as you realize that the man in the picture is Greg!
-
Keep following the tour
-
She finishes up the paragraph and says, "Well, the tours over now. You're free to look at the rest in this room, or go to the gift shop over there." She motions to a doorway on the other side of the room. "Goodbye," she says, "It was nice to see you all!" And with that, she leaves through an "Employee Only" door.
-
So...everyone on the tour is human, right?
-
You look around. Yep, definitely human.
-
Wander into the employees only door
-
You wander over to the door, but you see that the door has an electric card lock on it.
-
Try to wander into a history exhibit
-
You leave the future exhibit. "I'm sorry, sir, but we cannot allow anyone out of this rooms," says a security guard in tthe hallway. Before you can respond, the museum begins to shake.
-
ShoutWhat is the meaning of this?!? to the guard
-
The earthquake ends as soon as it began, just in time for the officer to hear your outburst. "Everyone leave the building," he yells. "You too," he adds, motioning you to get out.
-
Follow the crowd, they should know how to exit
-
You follow the crowd. When they turn the corner, they stop. Ahead of you, you see 2 men, both in suits and each with a strange wristwatch. After a mere moment of looking at the crowd, one of them says, "There's Jenkins!" and pulls out his taser. "Put your hands where I can see them!"
-
Who THE FUCK are you?!?
-
"That is not your problem," he says, and takes out a strange, disk shaped device with his free hand. "Now stand still." This does not look good.
-
Quick Reminder: do I have any guns/weapons still on me?
-
You have the knife in your pocket, a taser and gun and baton from the guard uniform. Oh, and you still have the pair of handcuffs on one wrist.
-
Start shooting while going deeper into the future exhibit section
-
You pull out your pistol. [66 vs 91] The agent is faster, and he fires his taser. He hits, and electricity arcs through your body. [90] You take it quite well, and keep running back, firing off a shot at the agent. [39] It misses, instead hitting a man from the fleeing tourist group.
-
Pull out the taser prongs and hoof it deeper into the exhibit
-
You run deeper into the (relatively small) exhibit. [19 vs 84, 87] Both agents catch up with you, cornering you in between two glass display cases and the wall. "You will come with us," says one of the men. The other seems very tired.
-
Unleash the knife! Into their bodies!
-
You lash out at the agent. [47] You hit him in the shoulder, slashing through the fabric of his suit. Suddenly the knife snaps on his bare skin, spraining your wrist (the one wearing the CM). As you stand bewildered, he grabs your wrist [15 vs 67]. He looks at you, his eyes lacking any emotion, and says, "Hold still." Then there's a flash of light. You open your eyes. Lights dance before your eyes.
-
Ah shit, robots. Wait to see what happens
-
As your vision clears, you see that you are in fact in some sort of cell. 3 of the 4 walls are made of stone, while the last is made of bars like a classical jail cell, with a hinged door on the right side. The cell floor is damp and also made of stone. The ceiling is made of metal, and has a large lightbulb inset in the center, casting a dim light across the cell. There is nothing else in the cell.
-
is the CM still on me?
-
Yup. A brief message flashes on the screen. "Destination averted." It disappears, replaced by the usual menu. You have 14 minutes remaining until you can dimension travel, 33 minutes until the next update, and your time travel cooldown is finished.
-
Time travel to like 10 minutes before I encountered the MIB
-
((Alas, you cannot use time travel to dimension travel. On the other hand, if you do go back like 10 minutes, youll delete your other self in the past so they wont find you in the first place. Youll still be in the cell, though. Does that make sense?))
-
((Basically , time traveling will mean that I stay in the cell? Aight))
see what's beyond the cell bars
-
You seem to be in a large room, with cells lining the walls, a second set above the floor accessable by metal stairs and platforms coming out of the walls. You are on the top set, and you see on one else in the room.
-
Yell hello and see if there's any response
-
[66] You yell. After a moment, [90] you think you hear footsteps outside the room door.
-
See what happens
-
You wait. As you listen, you hear the footsteps walk right by your door. They pause for a second, then continue.
-
Yell loudly
-
[03] Your breath catches in your throat. You slip into a coughing fit, unable to utter any sound but a dry rasping. Meanwhile, you hear the footsteps getting farther and farther away.
-
Bang on the door
-
((The door, like the wall facing the room, is constructed of vertical bars. Banging on it would only hurt your fist.))
-
((Then wouldn't that mean I would be able to see who walked by??))
-
((Sorry if didn't explain we'll enough. You are in a cell, and one of its walls is made of vertical bars. On the vertical bar wall is a vertical bar door. The cell is about 7 by 7 by 10, the
last number being the height. Through the bars you see a room, and "embedded" in the walls of the room are more identical cells, 10 on each wall with another layer of 10 above them. One wall of the large room is devoid if any cells, and instead has a pair of metal plated doors. The footsteps came from beyond the metal plated doors.))
-
Check my CM, see if it has any info on any of the updates I recently got
-
After finishing your coughing fit, you look at the ChronoMouse's readout. You have 10 minutes remaining until you can dimension travel again, and the update will be complete in 29 minutes. It is 6:30 am right now.
-
Knock on the walls, see what happens
-
You knock for about a minute, but nothing happens except that your knuckle begins to hurt.
-
I guess...take a nap
-
You lay down and let sleep wash over you. Only moments later, you feel yourself being jostled awake. A janitor is standing outside the bars. "Sir, are you okay? What are you doing here?" he asks.
-
What do you mean? I WAS HELD HERE AGAINST MY WILL
-
[14 vs 16] "What?" he says, "What happened? Who would hold a security guard against his will?" He takes a step back, baffled.
-
[14 vs 16] "What?" he says, "What happened? Who would hold a security guard against his will?" He takes a step back, baffled.
Hm, Probably should take my pill's now, excuse me.
Walk past him.
-
This is a 1 person RTD, wer6. TamerVirus is the only one who can post actions.
-
I blacked out and woke up here. I don't remember where I am!
-
[65 - 15 vs 26] "What? Really?" he says, surprised. "That's... that's unconstitutional! I thought they made laws against that! What did you do? Accidentally saw some government files? Saw something you weren't supposed to see?" He seems quite eager, and realising that, quickly composes himself again.
-
Something bigger than both of us must be going on here. I barely remember a figure in black... But where am I?
-
[98 - 10 vs 86] "You're in Limeheart Prison," he answers doubtfully. I.. don't think this place has any secrets to hide." "What do you remember?!" he adds quickly, glancing around.
-
Limeheart Prison..? Last I remembered being in some sort of museum!
-
[73 vs 93] The man pauses for a moment. "A museum? You're not talking sense here. What would they want from you in a museum?" Suddenly your ChronoMouse gives off a loud beeping noise. The janitor looks at it and his eyes go wide. He opens his mouth in surprise.
-
See what the CM is doing
-
Nothing special. It seems that the cooldown for dimension traveling is finished, you just need to get it into sunlight. Suddenly you hear the janitors voice. "Give me the device." He sounds completely different than a moment ago.
-
YOU'RE ON THE CONSPIRACY TOO? Why don't you try to get in here and take it, then?
-
"Ha! I'm no part of some silly conspiracy. Give me the device. he pulls out a gun.
((I'll give you your complete inventory tonight.))
-
WHAT TYPE OF JANITOR HAS A FREAKING GUN?
-
"No janitor at all. Now - give it to me, or I'll kill you. Painfully."
((I'll edit in your inventory here in a sec.))
-
"No janitor at all. Now - give it to me, or I'll kill you. Painfully."
You have:
-Green bandages
-Broken knife
-Greg's teleportation device
You are wearing:
-Officer's uniform
-Handgun
-Taser (handheld, not "prong-shooting")
-Baton
-Handcuffs
-ChronoMouse with attachment
-
Pretend to walk closer, then shoot him
-
You walk towards him from the back of your cell. [15 vs 50] "Stop right there," he orders, his gun still trained on you, "take it off and throw it to me. Slowly." Suddenly the double doors burst open and in come three guards. "Put your gun down!" yells the one in the front. The janitor forgets about you completely, and turns towards them.
-
See what happens
-
The janitor suddenly fires off two shots at the guards, taking them by surprise. The head guard falls down, clutching his stomach. The one next to grabs his leg, and goes down to a kneel. The last one returns fire, but it misses him, grazing you in the shoulder. You clench your teeth against the pain.
-
Grab a bandage and put it on the wound
-
You tame a small, Band-Aid sized piece and put it over the wound. It immediately feels much better, ceasing cause nearly any pain. Meanwhile, the janitor fires off two more shots at the guards. One of them hits the standing guard in the shoulder, and he drops his gun in surprise. The other one misses, hitting the wall behind them. The kenneling guard takes fire, missing the janitor, and whizzing just by your head.
-
Shove the janitor really hard toward the direction of the guards
-
You steady yourself [init: 32]. Before you can charge, the janitor fires off two more shots at the guards, killing the one while he was picking up his gun. You then charge the janitor, [36 vs 30] catching him off guard. [45 vs 47 - 5] You jostle him, your hands pushing him forward (theres still a wall of bars in between you and him, you know). Meanwhile, the guard on the ground fires, missing both of you.
-
SHOOOOOT HIM (The janitor, that is)
-
[35 vs 85] The janitor is faster than you, but luckily chooses to fire at the guard instead of you. He hits, and the man collapses on the ground. He fires off two more shots at the group, just to make sure. He doesn't notice you pull out the gun until it's too late to react. [43 + 10] you hit him in the foot, probable making it incapable of use. The janitors eyes turn toward you.
-
GOTTA KEEP SHOOTING, OR THE WHOLE UNIVERSE IS GOING TO DIE
-
The janitor shoots before you can, hitting you in the elbow before you can even aim. Your entire arm feels on fire. "Hurts, doesn't it?" He laughs. "One more chance," he says.
-
This device.....ITS ATTACHED TO MY ARM! Its literally impossible to have mine! But....I do have a spare...
-
The janitor pauses, then you hear a gunshot. You cry out in surprise and pain, before you realise that he hasn't shot you. You open your eyes to find the janitor on the ground, clutching his arm. "Put your hands on the back of your head, Mr. Eddington." The janitor complies.
-
THINK: Does that name sound familiar??
-
Nope. Not at all. Meanwhile, the guards go up the catwalk, approaching the janitor.
-
Conceal my weapons and observe
-
[92] You manage to put your taser down your pants without setting it off, but there is nothing else you can do except holster your gun. Oh, and you put your knife inside your pant leg. Meanwhile, the guards go to the janitor. One puts his handcuffs on his wrist, but the arm hangs down, limp. The other turns his head over, and the janitor falls to the ground completely. He smells his breath. "Cyanide."
-
Sirs, who was that man and why did he try to kill me?
-
"Sir, who are you?"
-
That dead fella confined me in here at gunpoint
-
[28 vs 23] "You don't sound like a lire, but we'll have to bring you in anyway." He unlocks your cell with a swipe card.
-
As you say,officer
Go with the guards
-
He goes to snap on a new pair of handcuffs. "Well, that'll be a problem," he says, motioning to the ChronoMouse firmly attached to your wrist.
-
That man strapped this device onto my arm. It's stuck. I don't think anyone could possibly remove it
-
[80 vs 36] His eyes bug out. As he whips out his radio, he yells into it, "Evacuate everyone from cell block D and C! Send in a bomb disposal team into cell block E now! Mr. Eddington has attached a possible bomb to a hostage. Now now now!" He begins to back away from you.
-
Is it best to disarm it here? I mean...if it goes off..it could destroy the building! Surely ere must be an open field somewhere
-
"I'm sorry, but we'll have to keep you here," he says, as he walks down the catwalk, still facing you. He's gone completely procedure-driven now. There will be no way to convince him to do otherwise.
-
So what's gonna happen? Who was that man?
-
He leaves the room, in silence. The other 2 hurry after quickly, leaving the 3 bodies behind.
-
I am still locked in here, aren't I?
-
((Yah.)
-
See if I can reach the body of the dead janitor
-
No, he backed up away from you after you chose to shoot at him, and is now out of reach.
-
What about the other bodies?
-
Those are the original guards who went into the room. They are at double doors, down at the bottom level.
((Note: From the point of view of someone who has just entered through the double doors, your cell would be on the right wall, on the upper level, about midway across the wall.))
-
Wait and see, I guess
-
After 2 minutes, the bomb disposal team enters the room. They walk up the stairwell carefully, at last reaching your cell. Up close, you see that there are 2 of them, one in front, and the other holding some supplies in the rear. The one in front looks at the ChronoMouse. "Strangest bomb I've ever seen," he says, as the other goes in for a look. "Yup," replies the other, as he takes out a small tool. As he hands it to the guy in front, you see it looks like a miniature, electric spinning saw.
-
Do you guys know what you're doing?
-
[07] the guy gives you the sternest look you've ever seen, before bringing the minisaw down on the ChronoMouse. The blade makes a small cut in the side, but nothing nearly enough to help him. He tries again, but this time, sparks begin to fly from the saw, and and the blade pops off, flying through the air. It hits you in the shoulder, where it immbeds itself about a half an inch into the skin. [07] You feint.
When you wake up, you are alone, still in the cell. The blade is gone from your arm, but whoever removed it chose not to bandage the wound, for it is bleeding profusely. The ChronoMouse has a large cut in the side, but it seems to be working fine. The only difference is that instead of the time travel cooldown timer, there is the message: "Time travel disabled."
-
Bandage the wound
-
You bandage the wound. Now what?
-
Inspect the CM to see what happened to it
-
It seems to have been cut by something sharp. [56] Judging by how even the cut is, it must have been done by some sort of tool.
-
Yell for attention, see if anyone comes
-
[23] You yell and you yell, but you hear no one coming. Then the doors open quietly. Two men in black suits enter. They stop, and in unison, look up at you. It's them.
-
Do nothing
-
After a brief pause they begin to walk in unison up the steps to the catwalk. When they get to your cell, one of them fishes out a key card and swipes it through the reader next to the cell. The cell opens and they step in.
-
Be on guard, wait to see if they do anything. If they attack, try to flee out the open door
-
"You will come with us," says the one in front. "You will not escape again," says the other. They begin to advance on you threateningly. Thats hostile enough. [08 vs 56, 15] They grab you before you can can even move. "Stay still," says one, as hey each grab onto one arm, rendering you powerless to resist. Then there is a bright flash of light.
...and nothing happens. One of the robots falls on the ground - rigid - while the other doesnt move at all. The clatter echos across the empty room.
-
Time to make like a tree and get the fuck outta there
-
[72 vs 82 - 15] You barely manage to get yourself out of his grip and out of the cell before the standing robot grinds back to life. He snatches at you but you duck out of the way, and you run down to the double doors. The bodies are still here.
-
Try to find an exit
-
The only exits here are the double doors. You take them without hesitation. The hallway outside is completely empty, save for a potted plant to the left of the doors. To your right the hallway continues until it turns left. To your right there is another pair of doors twenty feet down, followed by another and another after that. At the end is large door made of vertical metal bars, probably sealing off this section from the others.
-
Go right and take the first pair of doors
-
((Akk! The double doors actually in to the left. Whatever. So you go in the door direction. 'Kay.))
You make a mad dash for the doors. [89 vs 15] You hear a thump as the closing door hits the robot in the head. Then you hear an explosion, small but loud. You turn around after reaching the doors to find your assailant lying in the hallway, his head now the pieces littering the ground. By some miracle, you are not hurt.
-
Quickly inspect the body for anything useful
-
You run to the dead robot quickly. [67] As you begin to riffle through his pockets, you see out of the corner of your eye the other robot towering over you.
-
RUN AWAYYYYYY
-
[56 - 10 vs 15] You run down the hallway, back to the other set of double doors, leaving the clumsy robot in the dust. Quickly, you slam the door behind you, and find yourself in a room exactly like the one you started in.
-
BACK INTO THE HALLWAYYYYY
-
((By "exactly the same" I meant it has the same layout, but its a different room. Not all rooms have to completely different from each other, especially in a prison.))
-
Take a look around then
-
You look around the room, but there seems to be nothing out of place here. Suddenly, the door behind you begins to open.
-
Are there any places to duck into?
-
No, except possibly on either side of the door.
-
Just take the next door I see
-
[34] You do not see anyplace to go. The door fully opens, and in walks the other robot.
-
take gun and shoot!!!
-
[46] The bullet hits him in the chest, but he gives no appearance of being hurt. He approaches until he is just an armslength away.
-
Back up and shoot his head
