"Our competitors will be trying to get to us at every opportunity. Always be alert and selfless in any case of sabotage, treason, or infiltration. Remember, if you have to weigh your life or career against the lives and careers of the entire company, don't make the selfish decision."
--"Mayfly Acquisitions New Employees Manual" by Billy Mayfly

Turn 22
<- Turn 21 | Turn 23 ->

Throttle Kleinsman to death.

5. You choke him for 1 damage and he falls unconscious. (4+1) At this point a lamprey-shark jumps out of the carpet and affixes itself to his torso, dealing 4 damage. This startles you and you back off.

You have gained the ability Fisticuffs (+1 unarmed accuracy).

Payne nods to the shark and gets between you and the body. The vines on his arms have lengthened and grown thorns, making him look a bit more menacing.

"Right in the blood!"
Kill it!

4+1. You clobber it for 3 damage, killing it. You have gained the ability Barmaid (+1 accuracy with bars, pipes, bottles, hammers, and clubs).

You then advance further south. It seems some of the vines are coming from the 15th floor, since they're sprouting from the ceiling, but most of them are coming from straight south. You hear movement around you and (2) trip over a vine. The sound has attracted a pair of plant zombies.

One looks like the guy you killed a minute ago, but the vines on the other one are long and thornless, and lit up along the copper streaks. "Halt, bystander," it says. "I have been sent as a representative of Mayfly Biotechnics. This area is off limits to all non-authorized personnel. This is a pre-programmed message. I have been sent as a..." They approach you.

Go to another Department and look there for a weapon

4. You head to HR, where it looks like all that brawling has finally stopped. There's a letter opener laying out (1d3 damage) so you grab it.

Uh yeah, Nix got this. Maybe punch Kleinsman if he's not dead by then. Prick.

It seems you aren't needed here as some sort of horrible shark creature is sucking the life out of Kleinsman, so you decide to head back to IT and find a free computer. (5) As it turns out, the first cubicle you check is both empty and powered. You hop into the chair, log on, and immediately check your email.

Spoiler: Subject: Accept Jesus (click to show/hide)

Funny. You didn't know there was an R&D department. Or anything about the 15th floor, for that matter. It's always been kept quiet because of "trade secrets".

Casually wander towards the psychiatrist.

1. You try to lead the guy towards the elevators, but you lose sight of him around a corner as you near them. Then you realize that there isn't a company psychiatrist. Then you realize that there's someone around the corner and oh god it's the crazy guy and (5) he just tackled you and (5) what is he doing to your head.

You fall unconscious. "Welcome to Mayfly Sector," a voice in your dreams says. "We trust you completely. You can trust us completely." You feel peaceful. These guys sound pretty nice.

Wait, why didn't you mention the lack of a Mayfly psychiatrist one of the previous times I mentioned it?

Anyways.

Attempt to look around.

I call it Schrodinger's Setting. Certain things are in a state of maybe existing, maybe not existing until a PC goes to look for them. If they roll well, those things exist. If they don't, those things do not exist.

Turn 23
<- Turn 22 | Turn 24 ->

Eat my cake.

1. You pull out your tupperware with the cake and open it. Inside there's a skeletal arm. Odd. It reaches from the bag (1) flailing around in an attempt to grab you. You kick the container across the room and it shatters as it hits the wall. The pieces melt away.

"Nix... lives. You cannot avoid us forever."

To make it worse, your cake is ruined.

...Head to Kleinsman's office or something.  I need something else to do.

4. You head into the soon-to-be-late boss' office and look around. Oh, the advanced fire supplies are here, including that axe. In addition there are some interesting files scattered on his desk, about... well, you didn't know Mayfly had subsidiaries. That's what these must be. Mayfly Biotechnics, Mayfly Industries, Mayfly Technologies, and Mayfly Sorceries, Inc.

Some of these are pretty odd sounding, but there's not much more information on them. It seems Kleinsman wasn't authorized to know that much. They're probably related to some of Mayfly's most prized corporate secrets.

Oh dear. Better let the specialists handle that.

Move the first two mails into the spam folder. Mail my boss and ask him if they're making any efforts in restoring power.

6. You email Mrs. Livingstone and wait patiently for a response. It happens quickly.

Spoiler: Re: Restoring Power (click to show/hide)

Attempt to look around.

6. You wake up and look around. It's as if you can see everything from a different perspective. You remember your friend's memories. 23342 is his name, and he was sent here to help people join Mayfly Sector, to join us. He was startled by your contact initially but realized how much you needed us after he followed you.

You remember his loneliness, and are thankful he's here so you don't have to feel that. You need to help everyone here out so nobody is lonely. 23342 has already left you to go help others. You can't remember everything, but you know it'll all be revealed to you in time. And you're very much looking forward to it.

"Uh... OK... I'll leave, Alright?"
Leave southwards. If they try to stop me, show them my manly skills as a barmaid.

3. You edge past them but the one with the longer vines intertwines his with the ones coming from the ceiling. "You are trespassing in a zone controlled by Mayfly Biotechnics. The proper authorities are being contacted."

Further south you enter a meeting room. In it, you find a tremendous, twisted mass of plants coming from the ceiling. All the others are coming from it. You step towards it, but stop as you sense movement ahead. There is a large mass on the floor, but you can't see it very well because plants have grown over most of the lights.

A wave emanates from the central trunk, the vines twisting uncontrollably (3) nearly tripping you as it passes under you. The whole room lights up as the copper streaks in the plants glow. The mass in front of you is a body - or part of one. It seems similar to a gorilla, but severed at center of the torso. None of the lower body is present. The wound isn't a cut - it's as if the body disentegrated up to that point.

The body jerks and slides a bit. Vines are growing into it. It rises from the ground, turning towards you, showing that it has the head of an elephant. It gargles at you. The vines attaching it to the floor are lengthening, allowing it more movement. It can move about freely across the tangle on the floor, but slowly.

Um. No luck here.

In order:

1. Wake up.
2. Return to my body.
3. Focus on an SCP article I read the other evening--the evening I had nightmares.
4. Think of everything I know about The Matrix.
5. Think of everything I know about its sequels.
6. Curse at God.


((A cookie to anyone who can guess what threat all of those are intended to combat.))
