Peruse floorpapers
Get ye Toilet Ring.

Read papers?
Also, if you stack stuff or flip the bed sideways to use as a ladder, you should be able to reach the hatch at the top right.

You stand the cot frame on end, and it reaches the vent in the ceiling. Now to investigate the papers and the shriveled hand.

What an idiot.

The second page is slightly more interesting reading material.

I intend to escape via the sewer system. If you are reading this message, I am long gone. They will never spill my blood in their blasphemous arenas. May the Emperor guide my path. I'm coming home.

The ring on his finger appears to be made of electrum, a highly conductive alloy. You tear it from Captain Slade's finger, de-gloving it in the process, and slip it onto your own.

Hmmm. So if we had a power source (like the light, or the glyph), and enough wire, we could maybe short the door.

What's with the zig rune on the far wall?

>>979530
Hmm, if you can short out the elecricals it might disable their security system. Let's try prying open the power box with your insignia. Or just, your fingers. You're strong, right?

Hey before we try any of that we should really climb that bed ladder and see if we can pry open en the vent.

Tampering with the xenos electrical box might yield progress in escaping this pit, but with the makeshift ladder already in place, checking the vent first seems to be the most pertinent action.

At the top of the cot, you wedge your aquila between the crumbling wall and the crumbling vent. Once a handhold is gained, you peel the vent off the wall with some effort, and it drops to the floor of the cell. It dances noisily on the stone until it comes to rest, and a commotion outside answers it.

You've just become conspicuous.

You decide to get into the ducts quickly. They're very dark. Halfway in, you see something before you.

You think you've lost your footing

That looks like a servoskull. You've got your arms in, pull yourself the rest of the way into vent. There may be more survivors from the agriworld sneaking about!

Is it shooting at you? Dodge.

Yep, into the vent! Lets not hurry up just to wait for our jailers.

You blink the blinding flash from your eyes, and scramble the rest of the way into the ducts. That's a servo skull, another sign of Imperial presence. You might yet find a comrade within these alien walls.

As you step away from the hole and steady yourself, the servo skull's voxcaster produces a tinny voice.

I'M TERRIBLY SORRY SIR LET ME DIM MY BEAM

IT'S A GOOD THING I'VE FOUND YOU - THE GAMES ARE ABOUT TO BEGIN

The games? What in the Emperor's sight are you talking about?

>>979720
Games? Maybe you should continue this conversation further in, the guards are likely to check the ducts and you don't want to get shot without a gun in your hand.

Games? Oh good, I love games! lead the way, skull.

>>979720

The games? What are they, some foul xenos bloodsport?

"Where the heck are we and how do we leave."

Who's talking, the unit's techpriest? Where are you? Let's maybe walk and talk, didn't exactly cover our tracks after all.

The skull cannot be trusted. It could be a trap. Demand identification and proof it is an ally. Otherwise crush the skull and move on.

>>979720
Oh Frack, it's been slaved to the xenos, keep an eye out for anything coming down the tunnels.

"Games? What are you talking about? And who are- We should get away from the vent."

The servo skull follows you towards a wider section of the ducts.

"THE GAMES SIR - THEY ARE PLAYED EVERY DAY
"THE GALAXY'S GREATEST CHAMPIONS COMPETE FOR GLORY
"I HAVE BEEN WATCHING THEM FOR AT LEAST A HUNDRED YEARS
"MY MEMORY BANKS AREN'T QUITE UP TO SNUFF"

The high likelihood that this unit is corrupted, or even compromised, occurs to you.

You stop in your tracks, and turn on him.

"What is your service name?"

"TUDL SIR"

"Tudl, I need you to do something for me."

"YES SIR - I AM A VERY USEFUL SERVO UNIT"

"Recite the Oath of Obedience"

You don't know what else to do beyond that. This servo skull has clearly seen better days, but one should not look down the barrel of a borrowed rifle. His presence is a blessing.

You resume your pace, and come to a hub in the ducts, with a grate in the floor. There are some bones and discarded debris up here.

"Now tell me, Tudl, where are we?"

"WE ARE DIRECTLY OVER THE CENTER OF CELL-BLOCK §ɮ SIR"

The rasping xenosyllable dirties your ears. "No, what world am I a prisoner on?" you say through clenched teeth.

"IT ISN'T MUCH A WORLD -RATHER- A CITY THAT SPANS THE WEBWAY
"THEY CALL IT COMMORRAGH"

"They?"

"THE DARK ELDAR SIR"

Dark Eldar, you have heard of them.

"I plan to escape here."

"I DON'T UNDERSTAND SIR
"YOU CAN ALWAYS LEAVE - IT IS MERELY A MATTER OF DOING SO ALIVE"

"If I die in Commorragh, it will be in glory."

"YES SIR"

"Now tell me, where am I exactly, and where may I go?"

"AS I SAID SIR - WE ARE DIRECTLY ABOVE CELL BLOCK §ɮ WHERE GLADIATORS SUCH AS YOURSELF ARE HELD
"THROUGH THE DUCTS YOU MAY ACCESS THE REST OF THIS COLOSSEUM - THE ARMORY - THE BIO LAB - THE ARENA - THE PORT - THE TOWER
"YOU MAY ALSO EXIT THE FACILITY - THOUGH YOU ARE SAFER IN HERE"

"Why is it so insecure?"

"DARK ELDAR HAVE NO NEED FOR SECURITY SIR - ONLY BLOODSHED"

It seems like the armory would be a good place to go to. As far as escaping, dumping a bunch of weapons down where the other prisoners are might create some kind of useful distraction possibly.

Head to the biolab and see if these idiots have weakened a gene-seed to the point that any human can use it.

Then unleash a few monstrosities to distract any guards. They probably have to deal with that every month so your trace should be low.

Given the element of surprise, we should clearly hit the armory first.

To the Armory. Turn these heretic’s weapons to the glory of the emperor!

>>979849
>YOU CAN ALWAYS LEAVE - IT IS MERELY A MATTER OF DOING SO ALIVE
Ah, so its like the Hotel California

What's in the tower?
The armory is high security, but the arena is normally accessible to prisoners. Find a weapon in the arena to aid in getting a better one from the armory.

>>979849
This servoskull can understand questions?
It has a NAME?
This is no servoskull, this was an effort to preserve someone of great honor, loyalty, and skill.
This is truly honored dead; perhaps an Inquisitor Lord of Ordo Xenos?

Before we decide what to do, we must take stock of what we have available.
What are the skills of this honored skull? What implements do they have which yet function?

You look through the grate, down at the multilevel cell block. There's a riot, with the shadowy Eldar gunning down escaped prisoners. A team of guards is raiding your now empty cell. You marvel at the spectacle.

"Dumping a bunch of weapons down there could create quite a distraction."

"IT WOULD BE MAYHEM SIR - BUT I CAN'T IMAGINE YOU COULD HAUL ENOUGH GUNS THROUGH THE DUCTS BY YOURSELF WITHOUT BEING HUNTED DOWN FIRST."

"I'm just thinking out loud."

"YES SIR"

"Who are all these prisoners?"

"IMPERIALS - ELDAR - ORKS - LESSER RACES - BEASTS - CONSTRUCTS
"EVEN THIS MINOR COLOSSEUM HAS SOME CHAMPIONS"

"What do they use the tower for?"

"COMMUNICATIONS AND SURVEILLANCE
"IT HAS LINE OF SIGHT ON THE SURROUNDING CITY"

"Understood, and whats in the bio-lab?"

"I'VE ONLY SEEN IT FROM THE OUTSIDE
"SERUMS AND IMPLEMENTS."

"What's my chance of survival for swiping something from the armory?"

"I DON'T KNOW SIR - THEY VALUE THEIR ARMAMENTS
"THEY WON'T STOP YOU FROM GOING ANYWHERE - THEY JUST KILL YOU WHEN YOU ARRIVE"

You take stock.

"How can you help me?"

"I'M VERY USEFUL
"I AM EQUIPPED WITH A PHOTOPROJECTOR - SONIC UNIT - GRAVATIC REPULSOR - MULTISPECTRUM SENSOR SUITE - LIFT HOOK"

You're increasingly realizing how unusual this servo skull really is.
"A flashlight, a vox, and a tow hook. Understood. Maybe I'll arm myself in the arena."

"VERY DOABLE SIR - BUT PERHAPS A STEP BACKWARDS
"YOU WERE SLATED TO COMPETE BEFORE YOU ESCAPED"

"I fight only for the Vostroyan Firstborn, not xenos."

>Humans, Elves, Orcs, some others unknown
A populated cast with biochemical diversity; good, you'll need to get their allegiance if you're to deal damage to your captors.
Of course, if you get caught you'll be forced to fight all of them.

... To the armory!

Try the bio lab. Their implements should do as weapons in a pinch and it's likely to be less guarded than the armory.

Bio lab it is.

Guardsmen can have a little armory, as a treat

Let's go to the armory. We need a weopon if we're to fight some xenos

We're not going to step into the arena, just swipe something from the racks where they're less guarded. I don't suppose your lift hook can help here, can it?

The armory captures your attention, with its promise of weapons to turn against the xenos. You say as much to Tudl, and he leads the way from the hub down one of the claustrophobic brick vents. You come upon a branching path. Tudl stops and swivels to look at you.

"BOTH OF THESE PATHS WILL TAKE YOU TO THE ARMORY
"THE LADDER ON THE LEFT LEADS TO THE TORTURE CHAMBER - ON THE OTHER SIDE OF WHICH IS THE ARMORY
"THE DUCT ON THE RIGHT CONNECTS DIRECTLY TO THIS FACILITY'S CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM - WHICH IS IN TURN CONNECTED TO THE ARMORY AND BIO LAB"

You look around the junction and consider your next action.

First, by the Emperor grab that gun. Second, scout out the armory. The climate control system may be useful for gaining access, but we do not know what we're dealing with yet.

Take a look at that fan, seems there is a locked control panel for it.

Go straight for air control, don't lose your mind to Dark Eldar torture lectures.

>>981935
That looks like a rifle. See if it's in working condition.
Then maybe we can head to climate control.

If that spider above the gun has a chance of being horribly venomous (say, from the bio lab), don't let it drop on you when you grab the gun
