WEEK 1

[bathymetric]

Well, you've now met the brains of the operation, as well as the shockingly nice-looking young lady in charge of day-to-day business. Now all that's left is to get used to your accommodations - there's 24 other people in similar shoes to yours to meet in this building, you know! And who knows how much longer you might have them...

The daily routine in the facility quickly becomes obvious - the only way to tell time moment to moment is to check the strange device The Professor gave you, but at the same time every day the lights in and out of the facility go up, and at the same time every night they go down. Otherwise, it's almost maddening sometimes, how little happens in here. At least you have a few rooms with enough to hopefully keep you occupied. Who knows what secrets they might hold? And there's always that vending machine, if you can find something that fits in the coin slot...

[just break one, surely cordelia won't mind.]

Ah, makes sense. He wants to ensure you'll play along until you can get it back. He likely has a reason to be worried if that profile is accurate. Have you taken a look at those locked doors?

[She didn't really look them over so she's got no idea what kind of locks we're looking at here, but surely Therion's already tried to break into them.]

[bolderfell]

[It's one way to keep them out of the wrong hands, right? Can't open the Gates of Finis with a smashed-up dragonstone!]

I have. I'm still not sure yet how the key-cards work to open the locks-- [He says "key card" like a foreign word.] --but even if I figured it out, without any tools...

[shieldsister]

I see. I hoped it would be something easier to break into, but I'm not surprised the Professor planned for that as well.

[There's no way he didn't consider that, at least...]

[bolderfell]

[He pauses, then shrugs in the general direction of the room's western wall.]

Something over there, too.

[shieldsister]

[She glances over curiously.]

Oh? What is it?

[Time to go check it out!! C'mon, Therion, show her what you found!]

[bolderfell]

[It's hard to see, but there's definitely a hairline gap outlining what looks to be a door. Therion runs his fingertips along the wall until he finds it again for her.]

Right here. A door that's not on the map.

[shieldsister]

A hidden door... Fascinating.

[She can definitely find it once he's pointed it out, and she frowns as she studies it.]

I take it you haven't found a way to get it open yet?

[bolderfell]

[He shakes his head. Of course he hasn't. It's still closed, isn't it?]

Bolted on both sides, and the hinges--if it has any--must be on the other side of the wall. If I had enough time, a hammer, and a hard enough chisel...

[shieldsister]

I thought as much. It's possible we can retrieve something useful from that machine, but I'm not sure how likely it is.

[There's a lot of useless stuff in there, after all...]

I'll keep an eye out. Should I find anything that may prove useful to you in getting it open, I'll hand it off to you.

[bolderfell]

[Nod.]

Appreciate it. If we do have to break the bolts, though, maybe you can skip a step and just give the hammer directly to Jasper.

[shieldsister]

Hah, fair enough. I'm sure she'd appreciate having the chance to smash something.

[coming from another warrior woman who would also greatly like to have the chance to smash something, does that really mean anything??]
