"Get in there Citizen" The guard says as he shoves you into the cell. Your face and left arm feel numb, you have just been through a brutal beating.

You were planning on paying for a local mercenary band and a vehicle to leave this city and travel to one of the neighboring cities across the wastes. Sadly that is not a option as you were placed under house arrest, with no reason given to you.

You then decided the less civil approach and studied up on drones, planning on contacting the mercenaries and rigging public service drones to cause a distraction while you and the band left the city.

That never happened either as police raided your home, and took you here. For no adaquetly explained reason either, you never even got past planning with your plan B.

So now you are stuck in this large and relatively empty cell.

Hm..from what I can see, the subject's mouth has rotted away, cause unknown. It's lower limbs are missing, possible from self afflicted cannibalism, or possibly was already missing them. It's left arm is rather abnormal, compared to the rest of it, possibly due to...repeated strenuous activity out of boredom and stress. Possibly male, due to previous hypothesis. Well, those are my guesses anyway, you're the one with the PhD, right? There seems to be a journal of some sort near him. There's also what appears to be some newspapers near your right.

You/I/We... yeah we... check the body and go for the journal.

"Doooon't touuuch it..." a wheezy voice comes from the body. Shit he's not dead! You get a better look at his abnormal left arm. It's mutated. Shit he's a infected, they tossed me in here with a infected!

We back away slowly. He continues to ask us to leave it alone, pour soul, still thinks he's a regular person not prolonged to a painful death, or worse, the days as a being that only wishes to rip our guts out.

We inspect the journal, a few details about his days here. Mostly that he got food when the guards opened the door, water was supplied from a dripping tap, and how he spent the time writing this journal or talking to any other inmate that got in here.

Ah there we go! The journal mentions about a stash of sorts in the hatch in the room! Something for emergencies!

Typically I would argue whether or not if he's even still self aware at this point. But you guys raise a good point. I shouldn't be doing this. Invasion of someone's privacy is what got us locked away.

I didn't think to much about it. Not very scientific of me to not at least hypothesize. Okay, let's give it a shot.

He was infected but thrown in, as his journals couldn't have been written in clear print if he was mutated and rotting then. So he must have mutated during his time here, and during some of the more painful mutations, asked the guards to remove his legs.

From there he deteriorated.

*click* Ah there we go! got the hatch open, it wasn't even locked!

We open the hatch. Well... that's depressing.

Normally a gun would be a good thing. This isn't the sign of a good thing. This is a standard suicide pistol, given to groups of 6 or infected in case life gets to be too much for them. They have the option of ending it and leaving. The 3ND.

You have to place it against someone, at least some point on their head. The box probably holds at least one other magazine of 6. 3 scratches on the the ND pistol... 3 deaths. 3 shots.

It's just some spare pens. And the circle seems to be nothing more than a aesthetic feature of the inside of the hatch.

You have a very good point there. I'm not one of the City Watch or the City Guards.

We try talking to him, he just keeps saying "End... End... End..." Now. I figure he means the 3ND pistol, so we hand it to him and step a safe distance back.

No. 556741 ID: 5fd94e

Quick question, does the gun just use small pellets to insure close range use only? If so you may be able to pry open the socket and disconnect some wires and depending on bullet material and wattage be able to melt the pellets into a single slug, which might expand the range to at least a few feet.

After the guard leaves mind you.
>>
No. 556859 ID: 379075

Striking a prison guard who probably has backup right behind him. They're also part of a prison system that doesn't care about sanitary conditions and isn't above severe brutality. Accordingly TRYING to kick the guard's ass is not a great plan.
We are screwed unless someone lets us out or rescues us I think.

Political prisoner. Apparently I was doing something that would have upset the Cabinet... No doubt they were waiting for me to be there when the Infected died so they could blame me and get me killed and make it seem like circumstance.

Flour or powdered sugar should be good for making either incendiaries, explosives or smoke-bombs. Anything we can purify powdered carbohydrates from is a good start on something that burns nicely, but I don't know what our local food supply is like.

"Hey T," "What Cabron," "My name is Jonah. Jonah Greenfield," "Whatever," "What do we have for supplies?"

Okay apparently T's contact, who I think he's shaking hands with... can get us vodka, broken nightsticks, dirty rags, and there are crates of food, with items such as sugar, salt, flour, coffee. Which if I recall correctly in 10th grade I read a book about makeshift explosions... Don't ask too much about that I ended up in detention.

Okay then. Hm? Defenses?

This map outlines the defenses pretty well for the Armory. Here, I'll mark them in Pink. We got 4 gunner nests and apparently the only way in is through catwalks, the lower floor is electrified.

Hm... Molotovs, we can make basic incendiaries and toss them at the gunner nests. It's something.
>>
No. 559668 ID: 5f5afc

Yeah molotovs for the gunners nests and some kind of makeshift shield for the narrow catwalks? What kind of tables are there in the cafeteria or the library?
Also electrified floor shouldn't be a problem since cloth does not conduct electricity, just wrap rags around your feet and your good to go.

Sufficiently-finely-powdered white flour is explosively flammable all by itself if well mixed with oxygen, careful with that. This can be useful for setting charges if you can keep it dry enough, and then air-inject it well enough to do that.

Hey got a Quest Discussion for this and my other quest over here! http://www.tgchan.org/kusaba/questdis/res/79313.html Feel free to ask whatever!

Well that could work! Oh and I still got that 3ND, so we got a weapon if anyone gets too close. "Hey T!" "What Cabron?" "We can make some Molotovs and Smokebombs to deal with the gunners, with tables as makeshift shields, and for those on the ground below, rags around the feet to negate electric shock,"

"I knew there was something different about you Mr. Greenfield," "Say, don't the guards care about what we are saying?" "Care? Why would they care?" "The Guards must be crazy. We've been talking about a breakout in the open, where they can easily hear,"

T laughs a bit, it sounds a bit strained. "Cabron, this is my last chance to escape, I've been here 11 years. Over 8 I have seen 25 different escape attempts, been in 11."

I attempt to keep our focus on the map. "So... what about the supplies?" "they are here, I'll get my informant to let the other Cellblocks know," "Well that was fast,"

"Cabron we have had these supplies for a long time. Hell every-time it's become routine. The Guards await breakout attempts, they just give us the food supplies. Something about "Dying in a blaze of glory" or "Entertain me criminal scum," I swear there is something wrong with them,"

We remain silent.

"I've known people. I've seen them die. Gunned down like common mutants. Did you think I started out blind in my left eye, that I got this scar from dirty work on the street? I was a low level thug in a gang. In here on my 6th try, a guard got a little too excited and brought a knife to my face!"

Graphic.

"So Cabron. Are you sure you want to do this?"

I want to get out of this city. "We are leaving,"

T laughs, "Sorry Greenfield, but the wastes just ain't for me. Got any ideas where we can hold up?"

Hm... The Metros! We can escape into the Metros, I can get out through the city via the old lines, and you guys can take a station to make a new base. "Sounds good Cabron,"

"Also we should shift gears, the guards are expecting a breakout? Let's give them one they won't typically expect," "What do you suggest?"

...what? But we've barely started planning. We haven't figured out what drones or stuff we can build from the resources we have, or how to best apply those resources. We've just, in general, sort of sketched out targets of interest. Against an enemy who's reader and waiting, (eager, apparently), for us to attack.

This is prison, for crying out loud. If there's one thing we're not short on, it's time. Take the time to plan this right, not to rush into a bloodbath.

"T! We can't go rushing in just yet, we need a complete compiled list of our resources!" "What do you mean Cabron," "We have no real plan, we need to allocate our resources. Do we have enough? Can we get our hands on drones? Can we get Medicine? How are we going to do this? Are we just going to run in protecting ourselves with tables? Are we going to throw molotovs?

"You're right Greenfield. We don't have a concise plan. So I say it's time we lay out what we got and go from there."
Good idea. I'll make a list.

>Escape Supplies So Far:
-3 small cases of 12 bottles of Vodka.
-1 pile of 100 dirt rags
-2 barrels filled with 25 broken nightsticks.
-1 full magazine of 6 3ND rounds complete with primer and powder
-2 bags of flower

And that's just the stuff here. "Say T, can we get the tables from the Cafeteria?" "Yeah Cabron, why?" "Metal or Wood," "Metal... How long have you been here?" Excellent! Metal tables, now they won't fully stop bullets but they should buy some temporary protection!

Okay I got a plan down.
>3 Teams.
>Team A takes the food supplies and while the guards are distracted with the raid they use makeshift bombs from the flower and 3ND rounds to blow open the front doors, and they head for the Metro. Biggest and strongest members take this role.
>Team B takes the high road and attacks the catwalks to head for the armory, using the Tables as makeshift shields and push their way forward.
>Team C takes the lower route with rags around their feet tossing molotovs at the gunners nests.

It's not a perfect plan, has holes in it. This is where you guys... voices... come in. Any of you have any alternatives?

I remember a story of a particularly embarrassing prison break: There was a prison baking event, and the prisoners fed the guards chocolate chip cookies made with chocolate laxatives. While a substantial chunk of the staff was racing for the washrooms or trying to deal with their business in the washrooms and the mess a very large fraction of the prison population just walked out of the prison.

Now I'm not suggesting that it's likely the guards will eat special brownies that we bake for them, but surely there is something we can do to distract, demoralize or impair the staff before we even start our distractionary prison riot?
What do the guards eat, where do they go, and is there any possibility of sabotaging their equipment, water supply, or food before the event?

(Did this once just to advance the story. All future encounters will be met with less Deus Ex Machina. I apologize for this.)

Was that damage roll supposed to be 36?

Anyway steal his radio and gun and maybe his rations too and let's keep going.

Well, you're a blooded murderer now. Congratulations on popping your intentional-murder cherry. Time to make with the triage-looting and the moving on. Why are you separated from the other prisoners in your block anyway?

His radio was broken. Which makes so much sense every other guard collapsed because of the radio feedback. Aaaaaaaaaaaand... Ah! here we go!

Split up, cover all exits, and you know, I'm still feeling funny but... less sick than I was earlier when I saw the infected shoot himself.

Anyway T should be down here and up ahead, He said we can take what food supplies we need. It's mostly canned and such. After that we head out and leave the city... Now about that thing... any better description of that thing that contacted you guys other than, "Tentacles"?

Freaky looking thing with eye-tentacles and a bit of a slur in its speech. Don't worry, if it's important it'll kill you later. For now we should probably work on improving our odds of escape and survival by actually making the most of this opportunity.
Is there anybody you would take with you out of this town, or is it just you?
