The fall of European Undersea Facility 02 [FINISHED]

I'm assuming if you say No, she may blow the place up...

"Okay, you know what to do! Get up into the dome and do your job! I'll see if I can get someone to try and join up with if we can get the tram running again, but our people have been forced back from the tram station below so..."

A series of gunshots ring out in the background and you think you can hear a male voice shouting commands in the background. Someone is screaming in pain in the background and things are sounding hectic.

"Shit! They're on my level, shooting up the place! Get to the dome, seal it, and whatever you do, make sure to cut our losses if things get bad. Flooding the main facility is not an opti..."

More gunshots, even closer this time. The lights in the room flicker and go out.

"I have to go! You know what's at stake, fail and we all die!"



The connection closes and the mysterious woman disappears. You wonder who she was and what the hell she was talking about.

We have to get to the dome, but where are we now? Obviously the dome is up somewhere - should we try the elevator again?

You take a look at the file labelled "memo.txt". It appears to be a rough draft of some sort of generalized memo to be sent to an unnamed "supervisor of security". The memo appears to state a list of shortcomings in "Green facility" security setup, such as lack of trained personnel, lack of ammunition and weaponry available and the fact that Dome Security is nonexistent. The memo's goal appears to be to request more resources for the security forces of the "EUF-02 facility".

You also skim the folder labelled "work". It contains dozens of unlabelled text files, containing works schedules with names, dates, times and tasks such as "dome weeding", "dome cleaning", "kitchen assist" and "residential cleaning". Most have a note at the top of the file, stating "report sent" and a date. The last date you can find is "14.06.12"

The screen of the laptop dims, as if to save what little power it has left. You feel that the device might shutdown any minute now.

Tyring to make the best of the remaining power:

@Ghost: Nevermind, I misread your message, my bad. I'll be back to update tomorrow when I have my wits about me.

I hope we have enough power to:

> Read Noname.txt

You attempt to open the file "noname.txt". The file, however, appears to be empty and perhaps created by accident. The laptop runs out of power and will no longer start.

> Look through the window

Oh come on, this must be the third time the voices in your head have told you to look through the window. What could possibly be there that would be interesting enough to...

Look...

At....



Outside you see a lightless underwater landscape. You think the glass of the window is somehow enhancing the brightness of the view. There appears to be some sort of tube running from the part of the building you can see on the left, curving in the distance and entering the building you can see in the distance. You think you can see someone waving a flashlight through the window of the tube.

> Wave back, urgently

You wave your hand furiously, hoping to attract the attentio of the man with the flashlight. However the man does not seem to notice you and he continues on his way, quickly disappearing from direct sight. You can still see a faint glow of light in the other windows of the otherwise dark tunnel. The source of the light is moving away from you, towards the larger structure in the distance.

You try to resist the urge...



The urge is quite strong as you ponder the infinite amounts of water that must be looming just above your head, ready to crush your worthless self. The urge grows ever stronger but you fight it and manage to eventually resist it.



You decide to exit the apartment of Mr. Newell and to investigate the noises you heard earlier. As you step through the door a man's voice shouts out:

"JESUS FUCKING CHRIST DONT KILL ME!"

You step into the corridor and face a pale, bald man who is visibly shaking as he eyes you with a frightened look. He takes a step back away from you and asks:
"Who are you? You from the main facility, one of the good guys? What's the passcode!? Take one step and I will kill you, okay? Okay? Jesus, okay? Don't kill me..."

The man is visibly shaking as he talks and looks like he might run off any second now.

is there a universal "i am not a thread" gesture?

[WHAM]

I will make sure to take note of that little typo, Ghost. And sorry, editing it now is waaaay too late! 

[Ghost]

I wrote that? I did? You must be wrong!
Oh damn.

I'm a frayed knot
