The door has opened.

Mitzi looks into the short hallway, the one labeled 'DECON' on the map, then looks at me.

"Well?" she asks.

>>120551
Congratulate her.

>>120551
its not going to try to kill us, will it?

in the very least it will steam us clean, but still, if it detects we arent humans we wont set a foot out of that door.

Ooh, a decontamination room! Check to see if it's an airlock. If possible, remove a few of your hairs or something, and stick it in the room to see if the disinfectant has any effect on you.

>>120551
Aw, we haven't checked Back Access yet. Maybe we'll have a reason to later.

Go first, you're more durable than Mitzi. Probably.

I dunno exactly what you should do, but I certainly wouldn't just barge in there. Not with all of those vent looking things on the walls.

There's vent looking things on the floor and ceiling.

I have no idea what the things in the walls are. They're just... big metal discs built into the surface, forming slight depressions.

>>120568
Huh.

I'd still be tentative about going in there.

>>120568
Decontamination? That just means the corridor is there to kill any little microbes that may be clinging to your clothing or something. It should be safe to just walk through. Besides, the power is off.

Oh wait.

Yeah, alright, never mind.

Penji can bench a five Abrams MBTs with one hand.
At least she can in my imaginary world.
It shouldn't be too surprising if she can in this world, too.

she has plated bones. they are charcoal black, meaning at least porous steel. she survived a railgun round to the brain.

she can live decon, she can live a nuke, but mitzi cant.

Hello, fear here. If the door is jammed and powerless, and there's no other way out of this part of the facility...
Doesn't that mean that whatever killed all the humans is still here, on our side?
Just a thought.

>>120582
Well, even if Mitzi can't survive it, Penji can break shit until she can.
The application of force of the correct type in sufficient amounts to the correct area can solve any problem.

Perhaps it's my imagination. I've had quite a lot of that lately.

Find some sizeable object to toss in, too. Perhaps a bit of metal - then you can hold it for a moment to warm it up before tossing, just in case.

>>120601
Okay, so the decontamination chamber is active. It's too bad your ears are still in a state of disrepair.

Try waving the crowbar in front of one of the depressions.

if you are truly dubious, get a siringe and fill it with your blood. roll it trhu the corridor and thats about it.

I hear a definite hum, but nothing else. Could be a scanner or... anything.

Mitzi backs off towards the storage areas.

"Hey, you managed to power this up, right?" I ask.

"I plugged the door into the main breaker, which had enough juice, but then I turned it off. Froze it open. Whatever's happening isn't from the main battery, I don't think."

Well, I have no clue how to reach a technical solution to this problem.

I do, however, know that you have a steel and/or titanium prybar.

Ask Mitzi if she knows anything about this Decon hallway, if she overheard anything while she was trapped?

And check the toilet to your immediate left.
See if there's still running water. Even if you don't need more fluids, although you probably do considering earlier blood loss, Mitzi's probably a fair bit dehydrated.
And do wash yourself, you have tube gunk all over your face.

"No. It really wouldn't," says Mitzi. "At all."

>Doesn't that mean that whatever killed all the humans is still here, on our side?

"...hey," I say. "If anything escaped, how'd they get past that hallway?"

"I don't know," Mitzi says. "I don't know how it works."

"Well, there's no skeleton in the hallway. You've got one of those, right?"

"We all make our little assumptions," she says. "By the way, door took a lot of juice. They'd made it to stay shut with a lot of force from several different techniques. Battery's looking at some significant drain, but I can't get an accurate idea of how much."

"Well, door's open now."

I go into Back Access.

The equipment rails from the Lab lead here. There's a robot here, which eye warily. There's also a scanner on a boom, some kind of gun resembling the turreted dart launcher on the other robot, and what looks like a large, chemical projectile weapon.

All of these are on rails, and seem unpowered. Including the robot, thankfully.

There's also a reinforced, transparent cylinder. I'm just guessing, but it looks like something you'd ship a shapeshifter in.

Good to know, in case we need to send Mitzi somewhere less healthy.

Examine the non-cabinet-adorned wall the large console in the corner is sitting against, something seems fishy. Check for hidden compartments or hollow-sounding noise.

TRANQ is new. Grab a couple of those.

that could be pretty useful if you wanna subdue someone without killing them.

Is that a camera on the left wall? If so smash it. Check computer. Examine Ra-the unknown robot. Rifle through the box of tranq and suppress for something else. Don't get stuck. Taking a tube or two of tranq might be useful somehow. Not like we need it to kill things. And some suppress if we run up against mutants we can't kill outright.

I recommend we redistribute healing points to be spread evenly among speed/primary/secondary like until those shape up a bit. Especially the senses.

I sure hope the break room has got some food and isn't a bloody mess with everything edible destroyed.

If you are thirsty get a drink from the sink in the bathroom?

Looks like we need to power this place up before we can use all the fancy toys on the rails to wreck this place.

We can't power down the decontamination from this side, there's no trace of any monsters... any OTHER monsters, and there seems to be precious little left to search for useful items.

The robot seems a little unsettling, so I pry a panel off and yank out some important looking bits. That'll learn ya!

I'm not that thirsty. It's only been a couple of hours since I got out of that tube.

Should I dick around with the computer, brave Decon, or do something else?

Check the computer. Computers are a must.

Before you have a look at the computer, poke your head out the door and ask Mitzi if she can figure out how to open that door past Decon, provided the thing won't flash-fry us if we go through.

Nothing wrong with Decon in general. A rather steady, creepy hum at the insertion of metallic objects: lots of worry.

Penji, throw what's left of one of the bodies in the DECON hallway. Worst it'll do is stain. Best it'll do is blow out their circuit breakers! :D

Hey wait. I thought I saw a pack with a Tozol (?) face on it. Check that shit.

Fine. I start messing around with the machine. The structure is similar to the console in the autopsy room, if perhaps even less intuitive. Experiment files organized by date and keyword. This feels like a secondary access medium, which I suppose it is, but the lab control room is trashed.

Interesting! What's a Valcien, though?

Quickly shut off the video. This might be causing some sort of reaction in her.

And don't touch her or get close to her.

If you can do so without attracting her attention, tagging her with a sedative might be helpful.

I'm an asshole.

>>123094
Stand back and say "Okay! Okay! Look! I'm not touching you!"

Keep your distance, turn the whatever off and let her calm down. Getting nearer to someone having an attack of this sort will seem intimidating. Keep a nonthreatening posture and expression, back off a little and speak softly if at all.

Quietly say you're sorry, turn it off and walk to the other side of the room

"You're still you," I say. "You're still here. You're still you!"

She takes off running. Her shouts have turned unintelligible. Should I follow?

>>123112
From a distance. Make sure she doesn't start hurting herself.

Hey, prepare some TRANQ, just in case.

>>123112
No. She'll come find you when she's ready.

Pull out tranq syringe, take off after her. We don't know what she might fuck up if she is crazy like this. We have to stop her from damaging anything. Tackle, inject, pull out second one, try to get her in some sort of pin where she can't do much and you can inject the second one if you need to.

Very bad things can happen with a loose monster running around destroying equipment that might be vital to our escape. I'm sure she will understand why we did what we did after she calms down.

what're you crazy? leave her be. it's what you did to calm down.

Remember what you felt like when you saw your picture. She just needs some alone time.

Don't follow. Let her calm down.

This, we don't want to risk hurting her.
Though it might be wise to follow from a distance to make sure she doesn't hurt herself.

I throw a tube of Suppress through the computer monitor.

oh god make sure she's not about to jump in the decon chamber

>>123130
Well you are pretty Terrifying.

B|

We still don't know what Phanes and Ophion look like or what they are capable of. GJ.

She probably is going to try to go through Decon. I hope that it isn't actually lethal.

Well, check out that door on the other side of the room.

WTF, we need to follow her to make sure she doesn't hurt herself!

>>123130
Well, she did regrow from having an arguably bigger hole in her than you did.
She just needs a minute to accept it.

Finding her would be a very good idea, once she's a little less panicky, clawy and possibly throat-slashy. Humans aren't used to seeing their own insides, let alone seeing them wriggle about.

We also need to continue onwards, there's not much food or freedom in this part of the facility.

>oh god make sure she's not about to jump in the decon chamber
Shit! I'd better...

Actually, the screaming stopped not long after she ran off. So either nothing awful's happening to her, or it was over instantly. In either case, perhaps I should give some space, like you said.

Moreover, well... if we're going to avoid that hallway, how the fuck are we getting out of here? I am not posing an idle question! I want out of here!

>>123157
Well to be honest Decon is probably pretty harmless. We probably shouldn't go that way for a while though just to give Mitzi some space. Check out that door.

The last unexplored area is the restroom. Have a drink while you are there (from the sink). Go there then.......head out I guess. If Mitzi is stable and not dead we could get her in a hazmat suit and have her hotwire the door like she did with the first one.

Aside from that, I'd like a status report on your body and possibly reallocate healing.

>>123160
Door leads to the big room with the energy projecty-ma-bobs and the railgun, if my map's up to date. We could take that door to get to Decon as well, if we hope to avoid Mitzi.

Either case, Decon's probably not all that dangerous...
Thinking about it; A lot of the stuff in this section of the facility looks like it's not intended for use by people wearing hazmat suits constantly. If they could pass Decon without getting fried, we probably can too.
Plus, there's no signs of any monsters about. There's only one other place they could've gone.

I do however suspect Penji just might need a brush after Decon~

>>123157
>>123160
I'm sure Decon is harmless... as long as you are wearing a suit.

On one hand, I think giving her some space might be preferable, I'm also AFRAID of leaving her alone, less she do something really BAD. Two bad there isn't two of you.

>>123157

Squishy humans who get dissolved to skeletons by acid you don't even notice pass through decon, just go through the corridor already.

Decon might contain materials specifically designed to suppress or destroy the organisms that were experimented on in this lab. It's only logical they'd install that as an extra security feature, what with all the other measures we've encountered. (The electro-death tube and the countless suppressors and tranquilizers come time mind.)

I say we play it safe for a while and check exactly how safe the damn thing is.

Take the skull from the Hunam you found in S3 S1.
Take several different looking jar creatures from the autopsy room.
Drag the corpse from cell 3.

Chuck 'em all into the decontamination chamber. Be sure to make a huge mess.

im pretty sure a decon in a genetic research facility is pretty much a genetic scan linked to radioactive isotopes.

we should make sure she wont accidentaly walk in the decon chamber, now above anything else because she is wacko and is clearly not even partially human.

kill her eat her drink her blood pull it from her she is food she is it she is other drink her eat her kill her

>>123157
Should leave her a note.

"Mitzi: Sorry I inadvertently freaked you out. If you need me, just follow the trail of gutted robots.

Sincerely, Penji xoxoxo"

>>123683
[PS: Mine looks worse]

I have a feeling following Mitzi will show she has gotten into some serious trouble, bring out the big gun and chase.

>>123703
Ooh, good point.
We don't want her to wind up getting killed.

>>123691
oh the hell it did. ours was instant death. she had a open chest wound and had to bleed to die.

>>123712
quick inventory check, didnt we gaved mitzi a gun?

>>123757
Not to mention our anatomy was recognizably normal (by our standards), whereas Mitzi wasn't just dead, but also horribly mutated with a giant maw full of teeth, and twisted claws, and huge predatorial eyes, and an eight inch-long barbed tongue, and no skin on her right arm, and no left arm, and what appear to be blood tendrils...
Yeah, I'm gonna have to say that Mitzi got the short end of the stick, not to mention that she was already more stressed than us, since was awake longer, had to deal with us being creepy, examining human corpses that had been flayed, presumably by her brother, who seems to have abandoned her, gone insane, died, or some combination of the three. Oh, and don't forget that she was nude during all of this, which probably made her feel extra vulnerable.

...

We should find her. Now. She's likely to do something rash, given the amount of stress she's under.

We can still LIE to make her feel better, you know.

>>123823
If she ever finds out (which is likely, due to the law of drama), than it'll just make her distrust us.
Better to just make sure she doesn't hurt herself, and listen to anything she wants to tell us.

She's quiet now. Find her and tell her that you still trust her, provided she's still alive.

We need some goal-oriented thinking here.

The discs look very sturdy. I'm sure I can hurt them... given time. The crowbar may suffer damage in the process, as might I.

I have seen no such suit.

Listen, brain. Come up with something fast, or I'm turning this one over to the arms.

>>124313
You said your fur insulated you against it... so all you'd really need to do is cover your eyes. So go grab one of those helmets and wear it, then just head on through. Oh, you could try wrapping your hands and feet in cloth, too, since the lab coat doesn't cover them.

See how long you can hold your hand in there before you start getting actual tissue damage. If we can last awhile should be ok to sprint through. Also if we can get to the end can we open the door fast enough? Is hard to tell from here.

run for it and try the door

>>124318
This, the scientific method works.
If it takes a while to cause tissue damage, than you should be fine.
Your arm can't take nearly as much radiation as your torso, due to lower mass, less sub-dermal fatty tissue, and thinner fur, not to mention reduced amounts of bone. This is just a quick, uncalculated guess, but your body should be fine in there for about three or so times as long as your arm(don't take my word on this).
Anyways, see how long you can keep your arm in, than try to guess if you'd be able to sprint across and force the door open.
If it works, than come back for Mitzi, help her calm down, get her into a suit, and go through with her.

find your gun and crowbar, and see if there's a way to knock that passage out from this side.

Rest up. Try to expend as much energy as possible healing your insides, but look ahead, is there another robot?

surely the decon uses a different source of energy. this is kinda good.

also did you just tooked off without warning mitzi? now she is extra lonely...

also also ROLL TO THE SIDES there may be a tank there, in the very least the click is a sensor trying to identify you.

Ok, pull your legs completely free, then rest a mo, then onwards. Goal: find some more CS so we can start regenerating this damage.

Also, cookies.

>>124373
Find the cookies. Rest a bit, run back and give cookies to Mitzi. Then get a helmet for you and as much of a suit that you can wear as well as a suit for her and get through the corridor.

And Penji, I think we can limit our options somewhat as to what you are. You're either a prototype of the process they used on Mitzi or what they used to create the process. You and Mitzi seem to have a couple of similarities. You have somewhat similar eyes and you both survived what should have been fatal injuries.

>>124373
After all that, you DEFINITELY deserve some cookies.
Hell, you deserve a solid ten pounds of cookies.

Go into the security room, those guys always have snacks hidden somewhere.

>>124445
Addendum: Seconding that you go back with some cookies for Mitzi.
Could be difficult, the cookies are likely to burn in DECON.
While you're getting the cookies from the security office, be sure to disable DECON, that should be possible.

We should find cookie dough... and bake em' in the decon...
Or cook food in it..

And microwaves wouldn't toast the coat.

I'm betting it was high intensity IR, hence the extreme burning on exposed body parts.

That's what I'm thinking. The metal prybar probably would have shot lightning if DECON was a giant microwave.

Hmmm, I wonder if the Decon can even be turned off at the security station? If it's among the last lines of defense for their station then the security measures should be pretty heavy. Like two palm readers, two or more 11 digit codes as well as two keys and voice recognition that all need to go in simoultaneously kind of heavy.

Well check out the room anyway. There might be some more guns or something in there. And cookies, everything will be better once you feel those soft sweet pastries crunch between your teeth.
