Escape through crack. Tell the woman that it isn't safe here and bring her along, dragging her if you have to. Unless you can't for some reason, in which case, just escape.

SEARCH FOR ESCAPE POD.

You begin to wonder about some magic fairy-tale thing called an "escape pod". What's an escape pod?


Escape through crack. Tell the woman that it isn't safe here and bring her along...


Good idea! You grab the woman by the arm, and she doesn't seem to put up much resistance. You both squeeze into the metal opening just barely. However, the woman has scraped her arm and is bleeding mildly!






You find yourself in a long, narrow passageway.

Are some of those doors? Go through doors. Nearest door on the other side of the hallway

Flee to the eastern end of the passageway!

Explain the various symbols.

Sure... and hey, you think your vision's finally cleared up!





1: These appear to be solid-metal mechanisms or something. Some machinery and gears are visible; they suggest this contraption moves or something. They're probably exotic doors of some kind.

2: These are panels like the one you saw in the room, except these have no visual output. There are a couple of buttons on them that differ in position on each panel. However, in the middle of each panel there is a depression - or a slot. [Visualization]

3: This is just metallic rubble and scrap metal laying on the ground; probably used to belong to the now-destroyed wall?



Are some of those doors? Go through doors. Nearest door on the other side of the hallway.

You have absolutely no idea how these doors open! Hell, these might not even be doors. You push the wall, kick it, and look for some kind of button fruitlessly.


Flee to the eastern end of the passageway!

You figure the eastern end of the passageway is safer than your current position. You motion with your hand for the woman to pursue you.




You reach the end of the hallway, but are hindered by another one of these machines. However, this one strikes you as different than the other doors...





The door noisily slides upward, revealing another room!

I think it's worth pointing out that the blackness in the new room is just area you can't see!

Enter the room.

You cautiously enter the room... you never know when you might encounter AN EVIL BOSS MAN!




The door slams shut behind you.

This is rather... anticlimax. There are no foes to be slain in this room; just more stupid doors. You might as well pick one, already.

North/up.

You approach the door to the north and it opens like the other one! Automatic doors! HELL fucking YES! However, the woman doesn't seem to want to join you.




You find yourself in a small room with a window on the wall and the ceiling. You can see the colorful explosions from both windows... you don't like them. There is a single, lone door off to your right. Finally, there is a panel to the left of you; this one has an interface! Let's take a look...





There is an absurd amount of buttons on this machine! Holy shit, you don't even know where to start! You begin drumming your fingers through the little metals things until...





You useless sack of shit, you broke the machine!


You hear a mechanical moan come from underneath the floor. Uh oh.
