Cast float to reach the pipe. Or throw the acid at it and run out of the room so it doesn't splash on you,

>>160219

As any chemist knows, the trick for dealing with strong acid is to just add water. Dilute that shit down and then neutralize it using a buffer and base. Get it near 7 and then you only have to worry about the toxicity of whatever chemicals are in it.

>>189747
we dont have that. you think the acid could react with oxygen? or maybe one of the tanks isnt oxygen...

i think we are supposed to break the pipe somehow. even if its sewer it should work.

>>189747

If that isn't feasible, even the strongest acids have certain materials they don't react with very well. Most won't affect glass, the notable exception being hydrofluoric acid which instead won't affect polythene of all things. If the tank is glass then it's contents are not HF, if plastic they probably are; either way if you can find any largeish objects of the same material you can use them as tools to fish out the object from the bottom reasonably safely. Gloves or thick fabric will be enough to absorb any small splashes, although they'll be wrecked as a result.

The tube could well be used for dredging the acid tank if you could get one of it's segments loose. Try to make sure you can return the segment once you're done though, just in case the pipe occasionally carries something fun like more of the acid.

Alright then, acid + pipe = acid everywhere, are we sure about this?

I climb onto the table to get a better shot at the pipe. Jason helps me on and tells me to be careful after I inform him of our plan.

I mean that the tank would flood, it'd leave acid all over the place.

ah, but with enough water it will be weak enough to not burn. or at worst sting a little.

prepare too outrun the flooding acid if you can. tell jason to back off, we gon get wet.

I take a few steps backwards, and inform Jason he should do the same.
He informs me that he's not going anywhere without me, meaning he won't leave the room while I do stupid crazy shit.

As the pipe disolves, there seems to be fresh, pure water pooring out. The tank is flooding pretty rapidly.

both get on the table. when the legs stop melting it's safe.

>>202239
Leave the room. Take the table with you if you can.

There's going to be a lot of spillage, and completely aside from not wanting to get even a misting of it on you you're going to want to be as far away from it as possible.

This is going to eat the floor, and I'm pretty sure you don't want to be inhaling the resulting fumes.

luckily as it eats things it neutralizes itself as it reacts.

The fumes seem to disipate into the air fairly quickly, maybe because it's next to an air vent?

Either way, its starting to eat it's way through the floor very quickly.

coming to think of it, when the aquarium is neutralized we should get a nice shower on that spot.

anyway just wait until it stops.

lol your fishtank is going to drop through the floor and you'll never recover what's inside it.

The tank seems to be slowly crushing the increasingly more deformed drawer it was standing on, and the acid is still biting through.

Of course we know what we're doing.

We... probably know what we're doing.

Hey, if nothing else, there'll be a big ole hole in the facility by the time it's done.

The acid will eventually run out of steam. Uh, I think the tank is going to fall over and knock out the table legs... SO we might want to leave the room RIGHT NOW.

yeah, it will run out of melting power soon.

its dangerously close to the table.

That's not reassuring at all!

The acid continues to spread, and although I can tell it's slowed down, it's spread out to the point where it's starting to eat the desk.
I stumble when it does, but Jason has a hold of me, and also a lot better of a balance.

Should we get out of the room entirely?

i suppose. this is really strong acid.

Do it while you still can.

>>202551
Nah you're cool, just chill there for a bit.

Get off the table and to the door. Even if the acid is able to burn right through the floor, it does not spread very fast. You can just take a few steps back whenever it gets too close for comfort.

Jason and I wait a while untill it stops smoking, after that a while more.
I first test if it bites through my crutch, which luckily it doesn't.

I think it's safe.

>>202564
There's a hole in the ground, through which the drawer almost fell. Luckily the acid stop eating through it before it gave in.
So I guess all the water goes to the floor below.

>>202571
Ah sorry, I assumed there was still "floor" left under the drawer.

We shouldn't risk breaking the weakened floor. Ask Jason to help you arranging what's left of the table in a way to reach the tank (so it's like a brigde).

Just a precaution.

Now I think it's a pity we couldn't store a small bit of the acid for later use. We could have used it to burn through a locked doorlock or another obstacle.

I suggest to Jason to use the desk as a sort of a bridge, he looks at me and nods, smiling as he does so.
He understands what im getting at, and volenteers to go over.
>"Be careful..."

There's still a small amount of the acid left in the syringe, not a whole lot, but it might be enough to melt maybe 1 lock?

Wait, wouldnt this concentrate the weight of both Jason and the desk on 1 point?

oh balls

Call him back

ohgod oh god don't let hm fall in and get all melty nononononononoo

Call him back, flip the table over, and act as a counterweight on the edge of the table. Have Jason edge out on his belly, so that the majority of his weight is as far back as possible. In this way, even if the other side fails and the tank drops down, the table should remain on this floor (with you and Jason!).

This is kind of a big deal, neither of us could remember a thing from before, well, that tube we woke up in.

"Jason, try a piece of cloth first, just to be sure" I say, and with a nod he rips off a bit of some of the clothes he's carrying.
"I don't think the acid is reacting to it" says Jason, dangling the cloth in the now seemingly harmless acid.

I think we're both still a little emberrased, I can tell he remembers too..

>>203655
I guess it's safe.

Say that you remembered something new; ask him if he did too.

Hm, hopefully safe now.

It's all water diluted now, right? Ask if he can see what the objects are better now.

If he does dip his hand in, run it under the water from the pipe for a lot longer than you think necessary. Acid has this nasty tendancy to not start burning until like 10 minutes after you stick your hand in it, so it's important to make sure it's all cleaned off, even if diluted.

Jason checks the liquid, and reaches for the contents of the tank.
He informs you there are 2 items in here, one of them seems to be a case of some sorts, the other a mouth piece.

Oppon closer inspection, Jason concludes this must be a kit used for maintance or repairs.

That's really handy. Call him back and hug him as a reward.

no wait, there is more stuff. have him slide it over to you while he grabs the other thing. then he comes back and hugs.

You now have clean water. Use the toothbrush to clean off the bloody ID.

Oh, almost forgot: Before you get it bloody, brush your teeth for reals. This may be your only chance. Flash Jason a beautiful smile. Recall that he's had that brush in his mouth before.

Jason further inspects the tank, all that's left in it, other than the water, is part of the cloth we used to see if it was acid.
He hops on back off the table and I flash my pearly whites at him.
Jason looks impressed.

I then give him a well deserved hug for his bravery, after a few seconds I check out the I.D.
It looks like it belonged to a Dr. Andrew, the "ADMIN" on the I.D. looks like it was later put on by permanent marker.

Jason agrees as he cleans off his hands and the mouthpiece.

Jason has a peek below, looking around he replies "It looks like a janitor's closet or something."

"It's your call, go down into the 'mysterious' janitor's closet, or work on fixing that crazy AI up here. That is to say, if Cid is will actually show up."

Drat, it looked long enough so that you could stand at the top and grab the edge of the hole.

Okay let's stay up top and try to fix the AI.

>>248465
dont go down, it seems to be well locked and quite difficult to climb up.

With a ladder, it shouldn't be THAT hard to find stuff to stack under it to be able to reach the hole again. Just flipping that one cart upside down might even be enough. If you're not sure, look around for other stable stuff to toss down before you head down.

"The question is, do we -want- to fix it?"

It's possible this restores the power of the facility, so it would also restore access to the AI.
We could use the oxyghen tanks and get 2 of us through the next chamber. Or we could find a way around.

That's a sign with a gasmask on it, the border around it is lit up. I guess it looks like Cid because it kind of follows the curves of a skull. And, well, Cid is skin over bone.

"Thank you dad. Can you tell me about this panel in particular?" I ask our digital friend, it replies: "This panel is one of many points through which I'm able to control the facility. If you treated the 'wound' I should have access to more of the facility."
Cid explains that by that it means that "If we fix it it restores control, meaning it has access to more systems. Doors, ventilation, traps, security, etc."
"Could you use the ventilation system to remove the gas from this gas chamber?" I ask; "That isn't a gas chamber, silly, that's a chamber that happends to be flooded with gas. But yes, I could do that."
