FINAL INVESTIGATION

[bathymetric]

Morning comes on Friday, just like any other.

Or not. You're all still alive. The walls have held. You all have held.

One way or another, this is the last day you're going to be in here. You've spent so long at the whims of the man who owns this place, so long playing along with this game...

Wouldn't it be nice to beat him?

Time to investigate.

OPERATION: TOILET HELL

[bathymetric]

[ It's early on in the morning when there's a blast of static and Angel contacts you all on your devices: ]

Alright, I'm in position. Whenever you guys are ready.

[ Time to go, gang. ]

[bolderfell]

[You know that cord Therion's been braiding out of spare outfits all this time?

Yeah. He's made quite a few short lengths of it by now. And he flushes them down all the toilets in Area A, along with some foam darts, Monopoly pieces, and not!Legos.

RIP in pieces, facility plumbing.]

[bathymetric]

[ Well, uh... damn, buddy, yeah, not gonna mince words, the toilets don't fucking like that one bit. You have One (1) slowly flooding bathroom!! ]

[nothingcanstop]

[ Standing outside the bathroom, peering in. ]

Oh noooo. Shooould we go get maintenance?

[ rip cassandra. sorry cassandra. ]

[bolderfell]

Oops. Maybe someone should tell the Assistant about that.

[Because he's pretty sure she does nnnnnot like him!]

INVESTIGATION START

[bathymetric]

[ Well, this is it. Angel got you in here, and you're going to have to trust that she's going to be able to handle herself out there. The Meeting Room door is locked, so there's only one way forward: into Angel and Cass's living space.

Though that's not all you can access from in here... looks like Angel left a trapdoor to The Wings open in her office. As a great man once said: Let's split up and look for clues! ]

PRE-INVES CHATTER

ANGEL'S OFFICE

[bathymetric]

[ Team 1, you're in here! ]

[nothingcanstop]

[ Okay! She is, you know...worried, but nothing, not even dread, can stop Della Duck, after all. So, Della's spent a lot of time stopping by and chatting here. Presumably nothing's changed from earlier in the week...right? ]

[bathymetric]

[ Nothing major, nope! Still a very normal-looking office. ]

AREA CLEAR

[bathymetric]

LIVING QUARTERS

[bathymetric]

[ Through the door in the back of Angel's office, you get to... basically a small apartment. Team 2, you're up. ]

[ladygeryon]

[Hm. So first of all, any papers of interest in here?]

[bathymetric]

[ Well, there's uh. Looks like Angel had some kind of conspiracy board set up on her wall that Cassandra didn't touch. ]

[bogwife]

[Let's gooooo!!! Zerinda's got a pocket full of gun and a head full of empty.

Really though she's just happy to have a full party on a Friday and no bodies. What a novelty.

Looking around the apartment, how tidy is it?]

[bathymetric]

[ Well, it currently feels a little more lived-in than it used to, probably. The bed seems to have been slept in, which Angel mentioned to at least a few people that wasn't a concern for her.

Looks like someone left the dining table a little messy. ]

AREA CLEAR

THE WINGS

[bathymetric]

[ There's some stuff to find down here in the Failsafe's old haunt! Team 3, this one's you. ]

[bolderfell]

[Godspeed, Angel. Therion swallows his nerves, adjusts his grip on the hilt of the sword he has sheathed at his hip, and looks around.]

Me on point, you behind? Since you have the ranged weapon.

[Any particularly promising direction to start looking in this part of these tunnels?]

[bathymetric]

[ Well, you've got the Failsafe's office in a clear direction forward, or you could wander the tunnels and see what you guys can find! ]

AREA CLEAR

[bathymetric]

?????

[bathymetric]

[ The door behind the Failsafe's desk is unlocked now, better go check that out. Team 4, this one's on you. ]

[fivestagegod]

[Ah, yes. Ominous question marks are always a good sign. That said, he's got a shotgun with a machete on it and a...varying degree of willingness to be here for this shit, but here he is anyway.]

I take it it's too much to ask that this just be a supply closet or something.

[Let's see what's back here, then, what are we looking at.]

[bathymetric]

[ Okay, so upon opening the door, this room is... weird. It's neatly divided into two down the middle - one half is some kind of lab/workspace, while the other is an office with a desk and a computer. ]
