Simon takes one of the pamphlets.

More evidence of a bioweapon on the loose.

There's hope. In practice, most bio-agents go inert after being exposed for a few weeks. So let's go find some indication of how long ago this happened.

>>63707
I am guessing an accident occurred.

So, we're left with the elevator now. There is a biohazard symbol on it, so open the door, but don't go in yet.

Simon presses the button on the elevator and takes a few steps back.

Aside from the ominous red paint, the elevator seems normal.

This is a really terrible idea.

Can Slater get sick? I would assume not. Maybe he should go down without Simon.

I think I speak for a few people when I say that we would totally run the hell away right now were it not for the quirky and whimsical nature of the quest, which makes us think that maybe it'll be okay if we go down despite it apparently being certain death.

The salesman isn't dead yet. He even ATE some biohazard stuff. It's probably safe. Probably.

Go on down!

I doubt any of the standard races are going to be immune to this.

This of course ignores the fact that they're all made of nonliving materials so how do they even have biohazards blargh my brain

Simon: "Welp, this abandoned guildhall wont explore itself! Into the elevator!"
Slater: "Are you sure that's safe Sir?"
Simon: "That salesman dude hasn't died yet, so I assume it is safe enough for me. And you are a Clockwork, nothing makes you sick!"
Slater: "Nothing biological at least. I still don't feel good about this Sir, but if you insist..."

They enter the elevator. The third underground level button is broken.

>>63744
Why is there a rave button?! Are elevator raves some kind of new trend I've missed out on?

But, is the button actually not functional? I'm not an engineer or anything, but I'm pretty sure it should work if you just touch the wires there together. Let's just head to underground 1 for now, though.

Press the RAVE button!

If we don't push it, we'll always wonder.

They go to the second underground level. It smells like... root beer.

There is a door barred by planks in the foreground, and a few hatches in the ceiling.

>>64063
Crate.
If possible, disassemble it and make it into shoes or a set of tracks for walking across the MYSTERIOUS GREEN STUFF.

Hope CHOCOCOLATES MAN isn't a raving monstrosity by now.

>>64063
See if Simon can fit into that grate up the ladder.

Stand on the crate and carefully break the control room thingy's glass to get inside.

>>64063
go into the ventilation duct.

Simon tries to squeeze into the ventilation shaft. Unfortunately, his FORMIDABLE GIRTH is preventing him from moving further in. He can see some stairs on the other side.

Simon then tries to break the glass on the control room, but unfortunately he cannot reach it even when standing on the box.

Slater takes his hatchet to the box. Inside are a large amount of CROWBARS. Simon takes one.

Slater uses his hatchet to cut pieces of the box into shoes for Simon. They lack something to tie the pieces to his feet though.

>>64210
Maybe we should go get Io and see if she can fit.

>>64210
You've clearly never been very good at The Floor Is Lava. Use a big slab of wooden box as a platform, and the crowbar as a sort of oar. Push yourself through the chemical spill.

>>64236

Try this. Also look out for headcrab zombies.

>>64210
How wide is the chemical spill? Maybe we could just disassemble the crate entirely and build a bridge.

Simon slowly paddles his way across the spill into the next room.

>>64837
There's a hole here. Look down it!

Then go in that door.

Simon takes the dynamite and 7 explosive arbalest rounds.

Can you jump down the hole without hurting yourself? If so, do it. If not, go back to the elevator and go to the fitst underground level.

>>67382
There's exposed wiring and green stuff down there! It's definitely not safe to jump down. Maybe Simon could perch on the extruding pipe and reach down to grab the trapezoid though.

>>67319
I don't think hopping down that pit would be a good idea. Use the elevator, go to B1.

The hole looks dangerous and long. Simon decides to explore the first underground level instead. The door to the your right is labeled "Generators". The hall to your left is labeled "R&D"

Examine the R&D area

>>68086
Hey, look, a ladder! I don't expect that would fit on the elevator, though, would it?
R&D might provide some insight on what happened here, so we should check that out.

It does indeed look a tad bit too large for the elevator.

Simon enters the "R&D" hallway.

Go down the armor/vehicles corridor!

Seconding the Armor corridor. Might have something to help patch up Slater better.

The rocket prototype might be in "Vehicles". Let's check that out.

Simon enters the Armor R&D room. There appears to be a computer with a keyboard and tablet thingy on it connected to a large plasma screen. Green goo oozes under the door to the right.

>>68549

draw a cool picture on the tablet!

Check if the buttons have any labels. If not, don't touch anything.

Then lets peek through the choochoo door.

As soon as Simon touches the tablet, the computer turns on. He then creates a pretty awesome drawing.

>>68551

The buttons are simply inscribed with the 22 letters of the Cadmus Alphabet, and the Shift and Enter keys. Nobody really uses Cadmus anymore except the Kiln guilds. It makes them feel sophisticated and the Kiln can be rather pretentious like that.

Simon then peeks through the heavily tinted door window into the room to the right. There are a few lockers on the far end, but the room appears to be flooded in green goo and some rather insidious looking fumes are escaping from the barrel.

Simon swears that the guildmembers are just using this stuff just to inconvenience him.

Try to open those folders, look if there's anything interesting. If not, to "Vehicles" we go.

Totally check out their files.

Simon heads over the the Vehicle R&D room. Apparently this department didn't get much funding. There is a desktop computer, another one of those metal trapezoid things and a welding torch in the room.

Take the damn torch. It will certainly come in handy. Also, inspect trapezoid?

Simon has obtained the WELDING TORCH. He also examines the trapezoid. He remembers Rob Oddard's book on the rocket, and realizes this must be one of the fins of the rocket. He has no clue what they are doing scattered all over the building.

...fuck

I guess drag it to in front of the elevator. We can stack them there until we have all of them.

As Simon drags the heavy metal piece to the elevator, Io arrives.

Io: "Oh there you are. Slater said you needed me down in the basement. He's keeping an eye on the airship right now."

>>68765
"Yeah, I need you to crawl through a vent for me. I'm too fat, but you're cute and slim, so you should fit just fine. I think. C'mon, I'll show you where the vent is."

Proceed to show her where said vent is.

>>68814

Yeah, this

Also...This place is big, we gotta come back to explore the rest of this floor later.

Also we need to find a way to get that ladder to the second basement to get the rocket part down the hole.

Get the ladder and bring it to the room with the hole in the floor, so we can get trapezoid number 2.

Simon: "There's an air vent on the next level. You're small enough to fit through it, I think."

Unfortunately, the ladder is too large to fit in the elevator. They leave it until they figure out a way to get the thing downstairs.

Io: "Maybe you'd be able to do it yourself if you didn't eat bacon all day long. I don't even know how you're still alive."
Simon: "I'm fat, I get it. Just get your shapely behind through that vent and find something interesting!"

Let's go up the stairs, toward the wrench. Also, why don't we use the ladder to get the fin out of the hole in the floor?

>>69212
The ladder on this floor is bolted to the wall, I think. The one on the other floor won't fit in the elevator.

I say we check downstairs first.
