The fall of European Undersea Facility 02 [FINISHED]

[Ghost]

No, it will end in use gathering info and then escaping, well rested. Seriously- what could possibly go wrong? 
And no fish will be involved either, I am sure of it.

A pleasant proposition but no matter how many times you check your pockets you do not have a cellphone. You headset, which had remained silent for a good while now, has no way to dial a number.

> Rest for a while.

You do feel rather tired and the idea of resting a while sounds good. Maybe some sort of solution will come to you in the form of a dream.
You lay down on the bunk bed and decide you'll just rest and not fall aslee...



ZZZZzzZZZZzzZZZZzzzZZZZzzzZZZ...



You wake up and take a look around yourself. You have a strange feeling that quite a bit of time has passed while you were asleep.

You had a horrible, horrible dream where Leonard Nimoy was deduced into singing horrible, horrible songs with perky young girls. Fortunately it was JUST A DREAM

For a short while you just lay there, awake and terrified...



> Get up.

You decide to stand up and face the music. Well, at least the rest allowed you to recover some of your strength, although the realization of the escalation of your predicament has done no good to you soon-to-be-shattered nerves.



> Gather information.

Gather information HOW or WHERE?

> Escape.

You have no idea how to follow this command so for just a second you escape into your own mind, hoping to find Leonard Nimoy in a more dignified dream. You fail miserably and snap back into reality.

I wanted to watch that video but it's unavailable in Germany. Is it supposed to contain a clue?  8)
Also:

Realising that cold water sometimes does funny things with thin metal sheets, like the ones the cabinet is made of:

> Test water temperature

You test the water temperature and deduce that the water is "ball-chillingly" cold. Neither you, nor your you testicles, want to stay in the water any longer than you have to.



> Chuck-Norris-roundhouse-kick the locked cabinet door

The thigh-deep water is restricting your movement somewhat but you soldier on and try to give the door a good kicking.



AAAAAAUUUUGH!
It would seem your leg has slipped and you are given a horrifying reminder that you can't, in fact, swim.



You manage to regain your composure and stand up, grabbing your trusty pool que while you are at it. Great, now you are ball-chillingly cold all over...

> Return to the rec area. Try to find that bald guy.

This place is filling up, guys. We need to find a buddy and get out of here. Maybe the rising water will make him more likely to work with us. 

[cat]

True. we probably should try to get to a higher level. Maybe we can escape through the elevator shaft.

[Ponch]

That's what I'm thinking too. Or maybe that guy can open some of the doors we couldn't. We have to find some way out. This and the movie thread are my favorite threads on the forums. I want to get our little security guard and his poll cue to safety!  8)

> Return to the rec area. Try to find that bald guy.

You step out of the door and...

.  .  .  .  .

And no fish will be involved either, I am sure of it.

FIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSHHHHHHHH!!!!!

You freak the fuck out for no apparent reason other than to break the fourth wall again. BUT JESUS CHRIST! FISH!!! This is just nerve shattering madness now! AAAAUUUUUGH!

[Ponch]

Damn it. This entire affair is getting worse by the minute.

> Enter rec room. Try to find bald guy. Ask for help. Point out that there are fish in the hallway, a clear sign that we should work together.

> Enter rec room. Try to find bald guy. Ask for help. Point out that there are fish in the hallway, a clear sign that we should work together.

You regroup and head to the rec room. There is no sign of the strange bald man, and fortunately there are no more fish over here either, but instead the DVD cases seem to float quite nicely.

You: "Hello? I found fish!" -you call out, but no aswer comes from withing the elevator.

[Ghost]

I don't even dare to type anything now...

> Carefully take a look through the gap in the elevator door

You very carefully peek through the door, in case an angry bald man with a pool que is waiting to whack you, but the elevator seems quite empty. You push the elevator door open with your hand and step inside for a better look now that you know it's safe.

Looks like nobody's home!

> Climb ladder to freedom!!1!

You dive in through the now open panel and grab hold of the ladder within. The space is narrow as hell, but you climb through until you are past the elevator carriage and in a more open space.

You climb and climb, eventually losing count of how many steps you've climbed, occasinally pausing to rest your arms so you can keep going once more. Eventually, a slight glimmer of light begins to appear above you.




Could it be you have managed to escape? Are you free? Is it all over?

But what secrets were left behind? What did that young woman want from you? Where is the bald man?

[Ponch]

> Checkpoint Save.  8)

[WHAM]

Oh Ponch, there are no saves, loads or checkpoints in this game. In this game there are consequences and you guys must face them...

[Ponch]

> Open dev console. Use secret save function.  8)

[WHAM]

I'm taking a small break from this game now, as I need to design some new rooms and puzzles for you guys to "enjoy".
Expect to see the fifth chapter in a week or two.

[Ponch]

Nice job so far, WHAM. Until you return, so long and thanks for all the fish.
