The fall of European Undersea Facility 02 [FINISHED]

> Say: Yeah, because my pool queue is a shotgun in camouflage. Now tell me about the bay 2 accident.

[WHAM]

> Say: "Yeah, because my pool queue is a shotgun in camouflage. Now tell me about the bay 2 accident."

You: "Yeah, I always shoot people with my trusty pool que here, it's actually a shotgun in camouflage! Now tell me about the bay 2 accident."

Despite the darkness you can see the color escaping the bald man's face. He looks really freaked out.

Bald man: "I know what I heard and I can see the gun in your holster, man. I'm not stupid, it was like ten minutes ago! But hey, it's cool, it's still cool, I won't get in your way as long as you don't kill me."

The bald man pauses to draw breath.

Bald man: "I was sort of hoping you were one of the guys from the main... You know what, nevermind. It was stupid of me..."

Bald man: "Bay two was wrecked when the facility was being taken into use back when we were just getting used to things down here. Someone triggered the emergency release for the sub pen doors and flooded the bay with seawater, submersible and all. We just managed to seal it before it flooded the entire sub-bay area. The pumps in that area failed and we never opened the bay again after that. Three guys died... But that's old news, that was over four years ago. There are still submersibles in bay one and bay three, I think we can use one of those to get out of here."

The bald man pauses once more, and you can see a little glimmer of hope and desperation in his eyes.

Bald man: "Hey, if I help you, will you make sure the others wont kill me when we surface? Maybe you'll even let me go some day, or something? Right?"

[selmiak]

...There are still submersibles in bay one and bay two, ...

You mean bay one and three?


> say: You can come with me and I will even let you go if give me this gun now. This is making me really nervous. And you know what nervous people can do...

[WHAM]

Yes, I think the bald guy just misspoke, so it's not really my fault.

> say: You can come with me and I will even let you go if give me this gun now.

You mean "...and I will even let you go if you give me your gun now"

I might follow up with:

>SAY Whoever you think I am, I'm not. Listen, I was able to get through on Newell's computer to the main facility. I think I talked to Emma, but I can't be sure. Things got hectic. She gave me instructions to seal the dome, but then the bullets started flying on her end too.

ugh, you guys seem to be hell bent on making things worse on yourselves rather than better by alienating this guy who already thinks you're moderately crazy.  He's already revealed:

1.  He's okay with you.  Earlier he was a bit of a bitch and wanted your gun but now the 'game' has given him one so he's okay.

2.  He believes you can get him out of some danger (why ruin this fantasy and risk him not trusting you?)

3.  He's shown a subordinate attitude.  Trying to force him to give up his gun is like saying 'I don't trust you', plus I'm greedy and want two guns.

Why not just:

>Say "I'll get us out of here, but we're going to need to work together and pool our resources to do it."

Then you can follow-up with questions based on whatever it is he has to offer, like ammunition, keycards, etc.

[Eric]

Moderately crazy? Apparently wherever we go, someone shows up five minutes beforehand and kills everyone. I'm incredibly surprised this guy is even talking to us.

I agree with you though. My suggestion above was intended to hint at a common goal for the two of us, which might prompt him to divulge information to our amnesiac PC without us having to directly ask for it. But thinking about it, I think our next step should actually be to ask him his name, which would humanize our interactions (If only we had a name of our own to offer in return. I vote that our alias should be Maurice Micklewhite).

> SAY I'm here to help, but we need to work together.

[Keith Keiser]

You guys, why not just say you have amnesia? Would make life alot easier.

>Say you have amnesia, and have no idea what the fudge is going on, then comment on how fudge sounds good right now

[WHAM]

Lot of input this round. I'll look at them all in the evening and pick the one that has the most similiar inputs and thus seems like the most popular pick.
EDIT: Couldn't keep myself from posting, see below.

[WHAM]

Command input generated from a combination of all above inputs as best I could, hope you guys approve
> Explain the situation as best you can

You look at the bald man and realize he looks quite worn out, pretty much how you feel. You decide to get level with the man:

You: "Look, I took a knock on my head a while ago and I can't remember much, hell, I can't even remember my name, but whoever you think I am, I'm not. Back down there, I was able to get on Newell's computer and contacted the main facility. I think I talked to Emma or someone, but I'm not sure. A lot of stuff happened and she ordered me to 'seal the dome' and said she was under attack and had to go. That was around the time I first met with you."

The bald man looks at you, clearly baffled by what he just heard.

Bald man: "You spoke with Emma? Is she alright? Wait, nevermind that for now, she told you to seal the dome!? That must mean they can't do it on their end! And you can only seal the dome connection to the main facility from the tram station, on the other side of the dome! If we don't do that, then the whole facility will flood and...! Oh shit, shit, SHIT!"

Having spoken quite rapidly, the man pauses to draw breath for a moment. His facial expression tells you he is clearly weighing his options.

Bald man: "If Emma trusts you then I trust you too. Shit, if you ARE from the main facility, going to the surface might be a really bad idea after all. But I've no idea how we can make it across the dome, since the walkway has collapsed. Maybe if we could build a makeshift raft or something... Or a bridge... But there's not much time and we're wasting more of it every second!"

The bald man's face takes on a more serious look.

Bald man: "Okay, okay. You say you don't remember much, but you seem to have at least some idea of the situation out there. Hell, you're armed, armored and you found the keycard for the sub bay, that's more than I did. Do you have any kind of plan? Are we taking a sub to the surface? Or should we split up and look for more options?"

[selmiak]

> ask: why is it a bad idea to go to the surface?

[Eric]

You guys, why not just say you have amnesia? Would make life alot easier.

Well, my thought process was that if I were in a terrorist takeover situation, someone whom I strongly suspected to be a terrorist told me they didn't know if they were or not because they had amnesia, and I was holding a gun, I probably would kneecap them just to be safe. I certainly wouldn't be inclined to trust or help them.

Good point i guess...im just try to take a more seriouse tone to the game, other than some people that keep trying to find hotpockets...Brownies are better.

>look around

EDIT:BTW, the game started with us on/near the surface, how the fuck did we get underwater so quick?

[WHAM]

> Ask: "Why is it a bad idea to go to the surface?"

You: "Why is it a bad idea to go to the surface?"

The bald man looks at you funny.

Bald man: "You must have taken a helluva knock then... It's a bit of a long story, but let's just say that the people who live up there are the ones who came down here to kill everybody just for the hell of it! You can only imagine what they'll do to us if we go to them. Not a pretty picture..."

[selmiak]

> Ask: Just in case there is still someone from them down here. What kind of uniform do they wear? And what reason to kill people is 'just for the hell of it'?

[WHAM]

> Ask: "Just in case there is still someone from them down here. What kind of uniform do they wear? And what reason to kill people is 'just for the hell of it?"

You: "Just in case there is still someone from them down here. What kind of uniform do they wear? And what reason to kill people is 'just for the hell of it?"

The bald man begins to look frustrated. You are pretty sure that if he had a wristwatch he would be glancing at it impatiently.

Bald man: "I don't think they have uniform, just whatever clothes they can scavenge from shipwrecks and flotsam nowadays. Stuff left behind. Most have the letters "OC" tattooed or sewn into their clothes. Well, for most of them at least. The reason is, again, part of the long story we really don't have time for right now. When we are safe I can tell you all about it, maybe we'll even get your memory back that way. If you can't remember even this stuff you might be seriously hurt, I mean, in the head, you know..."

The bald man looks even more troubled and anxious than before. You think the stress is really getting to him.

[Eric]

>SAY "Alright, let's walk and talk. Let's get a look at this walkway. Why don't you take me to it? And tell me your name while you're at it."

[Keith Keiser]

>Say "Alright...I think i get the picture now, by the way, whats your name and what stuff do you have?"
