The fall of European Undersea Facility 02 [FINISHED]

[WHAM]

Will be on a trip for a few days (sweet summer vacation) so no updates until probably tuesday.
Feel free to use this time to come up with theories, ideas and plans for future actions.

[oraxon]

Regarding that locked cabinet in Maintenance room -
instead of hunting down the key, what do you think of an action solution:
break off table leg
stomp on end of table leg until it is sharp
use sharpened table leg to pry lock off of locked cabinet

[NightHawk]

you probably couldn't stomp anything hard enough to break that lock very easily. something with some weight might work though maybe using the leg like a punch and striking it

[Lt. Smash]

Have we already been in all rooms? I think we haven't checked CONF 2 so far, right??

> Ask Emma to bring up all the information she has on Andrei Winogradski

You ask Emma for the file for a "Andrei Winogradski". She Gives you an odd look.

Emma: "Why would you want to see your own file...?"

She pauses for a moment, blushes and begins to tap away at the keyboard again.



Emma: "Sorry, I just... keep forgetting..."

You: "It's okay, just give me the basics"

Emma: "Andrei Winogradski, unmarried, age 29, technical assistant working under Félix Thiers on level 4 of the main facility. You lived in a private apartment, room 318 on level 3 of the main facility. You were relocated to this facility from an evactuation camp in the temporary seaport of Chalna, chosen due to psychological analysis, military experience and extensive technical training in pre-floods Moscow. That's the jist of it."

>SAY "While you're getting the oxygen back up, could you tell me the stuff that's not in the file? Am I a good person? Do I have a puppy? Do I vote Republican? Does anyone love me?"

[WHAM]

> SAY "While you're getting the oxygen back up, could you tell me the stuff that's not in the file? Am I a good person? Do I have a puppy? Do I vote Republican? Does anyone love me?"

You ask Emma some important existential questions about your life before you lost your memory.

Emma: "Hoo, boy. I'm not exactly a people person, but as far as I know you were a bit of a loner, made some friends in security, I think the guy was called Thatcher. No idea how he's doing right now, though. The facilities do allow pets, but I do know for sure that ours does not contain any, so no puppies for you, I'm afraid. Politics are a bit of an old-world idea, so no idea there, and on the love department... well... umm... I really don't know. Sorry..."

Emma looks a bit flustered for a bit, but quickly regains composure.

Emma: "On the oxygen-thing, I've been looking over some documents. I can't make much out of the technical stuff, but I did manage to confirm that there are three fresh-air supplies to the main facility. One is the green facility, which is blocked off by flooded tunnels and as a result we lost flow from there. Blue facility also has a dome, albeit a smaller one, but with the alarms going off I think we can safely say there's no flow from there either. The last backup system is a chemichal system situated down on level 4, but it has to be engaged manually. That means there are a few possibilities. Either no-one has engaged it, and everyone in the lower levels is choking to death just like we will be in a while..."

Emma frowns and rubs her eyes, glancing at her oxygen supply.

Emma: "Not much left for me, by the way. Maybe an hour with luck. The other option is that someone HAS engaged the atmosphere generators, but with the flooding on the lower levels, the other survivors have shut off the upper levels, cutting off our air as well. That's about it, as far as I can tell..."

Emma looks exhausted, possibly because of the poorer and poorer quality of air she is breathing.

>Change out Emma's oxygen with our back up tank.

[Tabata]

>Change out Emma's oxygen with our back up tank.

since she still has left oxygen for about one hour I prefer to ...

> Give her the full oxygen tank to be able to switch it herself, when needed.

> Ask her for the optimal way to go to level four and about what to do there to engage the backup system.

... on the love department... well... umm... I really don't know. Sorry..."

Emma looks a bit flustered for a bit, but quickly regains composure.

Tap, tap, tap â€" a romance making its way into the game.

> Right before leaving give her a kiss and tell her: „Wish me luck, my dear!“

I +1 (+3?) Tabata.

Nice job slipping in some worldbuilding during the dialog!
It totally cheered me up to read the latest installment.

Thanks mate! There is more to this game than meets the eye, and there is a lot yet to see. Will be posting a proper update again tomorrow. So far, as far as I can tell, the next command will be "> Change out Emma's oxygen with our back up tank".

[WHAM]

> Change out Emma's oxygen with our back up tank

You hand over the unused oxygen tank to Emma. She accepts it with a smile.

Emma: "Thanks Andrei. I'll take a minute or two to gather my thoughts and will go back to trying to find something more useful."

[NightHawk]

> Go to the maintenance room. >Use the empty oxygen tank to break off the lock.

[Eric]

>While leaving the room to do what Nighthawk said, hum the Benny Hill Theme to yourself.

[selmiak]

>use the almost empty oxygen tank

so once it is empty we have one more spot in our inventory. On the other hand, if we find someone who could need one we won't have one left to hand out.

[WHAM]

> Go to the maintenance room, hum the Benny Hill Theme to yourself.

You decide to get back to doing something useful, such as saving yourself and this lovely lady from choking to death.
You also decide to lighten up the mood as you leave, so as to cheer Emma up a bit: "tah-de-de-dee-dee-de-pa-da-pa-de..."



You climb down to the second level again. You no longer hear the pitter-patter of water droplets hitting a pool, instead you now only hear the occasional burp as an air bubble bursts. It also seems the water level below has risen somewhat.



You make your way into the maintenance shaft, and swing the near-empty oxygen tank at the padlock holding the cabinet closed. The lock is smashed to scrap, but so is the bottle. You hear the last contents of the now-cracked spare bottle wheezing out, wasted.

[NightHawk]

>Open the locker.

[Eric]

Thanks for this.
