hello?

I'm blue da ba dee da ba die...

>>243537
Shit looks rather grainy and blue. Try opening your eyes.

Wake up.

Welcome to reality! Who are you?

Hello? Is there anybody in there?

>>243537
You look like you're hooked up to something. This should be fun.

Wake up.

>>243536
That is not what the letter A looks like.

Hello? This is your captain speaking. It seems as though we are now reaching clarity, and this may be a good time to WAKE UP.

Hello... can you hear us?

good night abyss dweller, it is a lovely hour to start your quest!

why dont you look at your surroundings while you wake up anc check us with the latests happenings?

you are in a glass tube.

there are 3 things attatched to your head. some more in your chest and one in each arm. above you there are some tubes. below you there must be a floor of some sort, i belive, concave to allow flow of waste.

now listen very carefully. grab the cable of thing near your heart with your left hand, use the right hand to grab all of the cables coming of your head.

yank the one in your chest, wait 10 seconds, pull the ones in your head. if you are not flushed, be ready for a inspection. play dead if you can do battle.

>>243791
Acquire schoolgirl outfit.

I kid. Can you damage those, or is that a bad idea?

Dodge, weave, cut, run.

>>243791
Huy.

Um.

I guess you're going to have to dodge through those or something.

oh, you had a bad dream.

Hello?

Are you covered in what I think it is or just sweating.

>>243843
Stand up and see if you can figure out where you are.

Screen behind you says SECURITY (C)OMPROMISED, which is probably bad no matter which side of "security" you're supposed to be on.

Welcome to real reality (I think)! Who are you?

>>243843
Did you leave the tentacle hallway on?

Hello! Can you speak? Do you have a name?

it seems you have to get your gun and clothes asap. check atmospheric if you are in any closed enviroment.

>>243853
is it in that binary shenanigans?

>>243919
Nope, morse code.

So you dont know any of those things? That's fine. Can you get a clear look at where you are, then?

>>245731
So, is 6 your name? Is that what you're saying?

I'm going to hope that's what you're saying. That 6 is (probably) your name, that you're not sure where a weapon or clothes are (but you seem to know what they are), and everything else we said was confusing.

So, how about this: Where are you? Can we get a good look at your surroundings?

So where are you at, exactly?

I have seen this before. I have seen myself walking to this console. I have seen myself typing this message. I have seen myself die from making a mistake. I know what the mistake is. I know it will kill me. But I have fought this all for so long, and yet it all still happens.

I don't know if these are the first two of their kind. I don't know if they are the last two. They are simply the only two, and it is by my hand I end one or both of them. That is the only uncertainty I have left. I'll be dead before I ever find out.

Do they deserve it? I doubt they deserve to die any more than anything else here has. But in a way, death is a kindness for them now. We're too far fallen now. The abyss has us. Supplies will likely run out soon, of food, of water, of air.

Will anyone ever read this? If all is well, no-one will be around to read this. If anyone is reading this, I am very, very sorry for you.

A is dead. I will never know what happens to B. I hear the doors hiss. I saw myself ending this note with this exact sentence before I ever began writing it, and I am scared, but not surprised.

A is dead. Avoid the A. Exit through the door you found first.

Seconding this, actually.

>>249857
this is sound logic.

but first, listen trhu the door. anything goes, except warning of your existance so close to it.

"A thing! A thing from a tube in the place with the tubes! I didn't do any bad things I'm good don't think I am bad! Act late shut round cold! Merge seas! I'm hungry. Do you know where food is? I'm not finding where food is. Are you food? You are probably not food I am thinking. Is the tube food? Did you find food in a tube is that why you were in the tube with all the wires and the beeping? Like this! Beep! Beep! Beep! Was it a beeping of food being there?"

Welp.

We don't know where food is, do we.

And this thing seems to have zoned in and out of logical thought midway through talking to you.

I guess ask it what its name is, and tell it yours? And say you don't know where food is, unless you actually do know where food is.

I think it wants food.

It was the beeping of sleeping. Unless you can eat wires there isn't any food. But maybe through the other doors?

Can you swim where you are? If you're underwater then the viscous friction of the fluid should let you easily overcome gravity. If you're in air you might want to think twice before opening any thick metal doors here at the bottom of the abyss.

Tell it that you're not food. Offer to take it with you so that you may find food. Then let's go in the other door.

Examine the glowy stuff

Better yet: have 2636 examine it

The glowing thing is likely electricity or something. Don't mess with it. Go back the way you came and try the new door.

This is High Risk Subject Containment room, not the Containment Lobby.

Go to the Lobby. Door L.

Uh-oh, the stuff has spread. Can you see any clear means of dispersal, or how fast it's spreading?

It hasn't blocked the doors yet. Get to the lobby.
