there are two screens up, the third monitor just has a fishtank screensaver on it. one is a fact sheet of things that have been learned from blood and tisue sample analysis. the other one a map of some kind. they apear to be touch screens, since you can make the fact sheet move.

The map has a pink dot that seems to move in time to you, and is counting down to the activation of a 'decompression protocol'. the section of the map you're in flashing red.

It looks like there's a room on the other side of the mirror. if you broke it, you might be able to climb through, and it there's a door out of the blinking area in there. It's the fastest way out, but there's also a second pick dot in the pod in room '5' on the other side of the locked door...

(2/2)

[Do you escape alone, or risk it for whoever is in room 5?]

well it looks like they're trying to drown you by flooding the place but we have three minutes left. I say grab 5 and run(swim?) out of here and we can go from there.

>>664180

>>664182
>trying to drown you by flooding the place
'Decompression' usually means removing the air to create a vacuum.

Get to room 5, I think we'll need all the help we can get.

Get friendo. They might be specialized for other duties then us meaning we can split the load of escaping.

Check around for air vents or plumbing up near the ceiling.

It's in your captors' best interests to keep you in there long enough that you succumb to the lack of oxygen. The blip in room 5 (and perhaps even room 5 itself) could be a red herring, meant to accomplish that. Priority number one should be getting out; if that brings you into room 5 and there's another subject to be freed, then sure, do it. But I think it'd be suicidal to go out of your way to do it.

If the other subject is still inside their tube, they might actually be safer from the decompression protocol than if you broke them out first. Breach the perimeter first, then double back to retrieve companion.

I doubt he'll be safe. Considering how we just punched through our tube the pressure difference between inside his tube and outside could cause it to explode out once the depressurization occurs. Save them, we'll probably need all the help we can get.

heading through the door on your left, you go through the upper room of the lab. The map didn't say this, but apparently the 'door' out is a hatch behind some old boxes, that leads into what looks like a maintenance crawlway. It's kinda cramped, but at least there will be air in here.

Check if the bridge is safe to cross and try to go for the toolbox across the bridge? Watch out for the gap on the side too.

Get down. The light on the railings will guarantee anyone on the ground floor will probably see you clear as day otherwise. Crawl to the tool box, and see if anyone is below that ladder.

That toolbox probably has a few things that could be good as improvised weapons. Also, useful tools. STEAL THAT SHIT. If there's a flashlight in there that'd be super useful right now.

>>665218
Yeah, get whatever's in the toolbox. It also might be possible to get some water from the H2O tank on the right--you're in a survival situation now, so acquiring water is a high priority.

Be extra careful with the toolbox, you don't want to send it toppling off the bridge and making an ungodly racket.

>>665218
That giant O2 tank and the words 'decompression protocol' give me a bad outlook for our chances of escape. We could cause a *really* big distraction though.

>>665235
For future use, yeah, but they don't have any way of carrying it and they just got out from floating in tubes full of some weird liquid, so I don't think they're thirsty now. That makes me think though.

Are either of you hungry? If Cain knows his name, maybe he's been lucid for longer and knows some other stuff. What did they do to feed him?

Liquid oxygen makes the BEST kaboom, given a leak and a spark, so don't mess with those tanks just yet.

Stealth certainly sounds like a good idea right now, as you slowly crawl along the catwalk, being careful to not make much noise. Thankfully the catwalk feels quite solid, so at least you don't need to worry about that.

Yep, the tool box had tools in it.

You're not sure when tools might come in handy, but even if they aren't you can probably use the box to cary things.

But at the verry least trying to club somone with a metal wrench is probably more effective than trying to shiv them with broken glass. Also less likely to cut yourself.

I would've stashed it in the box if there's room. Despite the obvious disadvantages, glass can have a significantly sharper edge than metal. It'd make a cleaner cut than claws or a screwdriver-chisel, at least, and be safe enough if you're handling it carefully for surgery or something.

Once your eyes have adjusted a little, you can see several different ways out of this room. A regular door on the otherside of the catwalk, a large door down below, another of those hatches, and it looks like there might be another door hidden behind those pipes in the corner...

I see a sort of hiding spot if you two need it. The far right corner, it's both under the catwalk and on top of a machine. Nobody on the catwalk on that side of the room or on the floor can see up there. Someone would have to be on the catwalk on this side of the room to see someone hiding there. Other hiding spots are of course anywhere near the walls on the bottom level.

Head for the door on the left, bottom level. It's mostly obscured so if someone comes in you won't be spotted immediately.

grab 6 and move her towards the hatch on the left. probably better if we keep moving.
