After a long climb, Jason and Bane reach the top of the ladder.
Cid informs you that this is a dead end, the barrier needs to be lowered from the other side.

At this point, there is nothing they can do.

Jason: Try asking the AI to open the barrier for you. It's worth a shot at least.

You can't remove the arm, its stuck under the blast door.

Cid had fixed the button, and opened the door for us before we arrived.
On the other side of the door, the panel seems to be missing, and the hardware looks too complicated for you to figure out.

It's safe to say it can only be opened and closed from the other side.

HOW DO I GET JASON TO LIKE ME

Momdad can you open a video chat with them?

Can we get any info on the scientist we found near that laptop? Maybe get the rest of the names/passwords we need to use the thing properly?

>>26632

Inquire about the large robotic arm.

Ask if doors can be unlocked.

Pete cheats. He breaks down doors and stuff.

(Right but a lot of doors seem to lock themselves behind him, maybe if we find a whole lot of unlocked doors in the future we can hazard a guess Pete went that way.)

>>30528
In order for it to be an argument, it has to actually include reasons. 'Something doesn't sit right' and "I doubt anything will go wrong' aren't reasons, they're speculation. And they aren't helpful whatsoever in making a decision.

Therefore he's just repeating his previously stated position.

>>30531
>she can climb back up if need be
>she would see the grating if it did.
Those look like arguments to me. But even if it was simply a rephrasing of the previous statement, is that really a problem?

Trying to crawl underneath the gear, no matter how slow moving it may be, seems like an unnecessary risk to take before it is certain Alice needs to go that way.

>>30541
I never said it was a problem. I just said repeating it doesn't make it any more valid.

And again, those are both purely speculative. He doesn't know if she can climb back up, and he doesn't know if she would see it.

Think logically for a moment, Alice. If this WERE a gas chamber, why would they put the on/off switch INSIDE?

Besides, have we been given any reason to mistrust Preacher as of yet? (Honest question, as this observer doesn't have perfect memory of everything that's happened.)

Well, the guy nailed to the couch was put there by Preacher, and Cid was starved by Preacher. Sorta makes me a bit uncertain of the guy.

1. To kill people silly enough to fall for it? As a sadistic joke?

2. The holes or markings at the top of the room indicate something could come through (gas? acid? water?) or that the room is 'different'.

3. The door could seal off easily, and why is there a sliding panel that covers the air vent we could escape through should something bad happen? (gas)

Well someone's fucked up big time, guess we already figured that one out.

2 miiiight be Bane.
3 is probably Cid.
4 is probably the unknown prisoner guy.
5 is you, Alice.
6 is Jason <33

>>33271
Alright, lets try our chances with that slow moving METAL GEAR now.

>>33420
Indeed.

Let's just hope it's not too solid.

>>33421

Or too fast.

>>33487
I already am!

>>33494
Of course I can feel it, jesus christ

My foot came straight off, it hurts so bad!
I can't help but cry...

>>33511

...Oh my god.

>>33511
Alice if you don't patch that up you will be dead in minutes.

You're already going to pass out from the pain in a couple seconds.

Basically, you are already dead.

>>33510

Man, too bad it didn't rip more of your leg off. You would look great with a peg leg.

>>33515

Actually, this is totally not true. If a limb is completely severed, your body stops sending blood down that way. Everything closes up and just kinda seeps. Having something taken all the way off is better than a massive wound on a still-attached limb (well, as far as bleeding to death goes).
