Kt'rr is striding along looking about with keen interest, and the closest approximation to a happy smile that a Shaktar can produce.Most pleasurable! It is a shame that there are no native animals to hunt. Stalking a large prey through this land would be highly enjoyable!

Ohhh, you're still on the inside? I thought everyone was going. In which case you get more than just one door. You don't find out anyything particularly interesting, but you do pick up enough to get an overview of feelings in the facility:
Most seem glad to have you here if there's DarkNight about.
Roughly half of the personnel are cultists.
Cross seems to have more influence than Shelton, particularly over the scientific staff.
Everybody is pissed off about the air quality - indeed, the facility is filthy and polluted in general. It stinks, and you dread to think what the air is doing to you.

Guessing the Engineer is a cultist, and useing the poor air quality as a reason to abandon to the surface 'before we all die'

I'll head off and have a chat to Webster first, she was mentioned but we didn't get a chance to talk to her. Hopefully things till be a little less tense without a crowd of ops hanging around waving their fat guns around.
I won't pull her off to one side unless I'm disrupting everyone from their work, I just want to have a casual chat during my patrol.
She looks harrassed, stressed and tired as she doggedly punches away on a grimy terminal in one of the labs. On the screen are lines and lines of code which mean nothing to you. She distractedly answers your questions, looking irritated that you're disrupting her work, but on the suggestion that you chat elsewhere she pointedly refuses. She isn't wearing a cultist badge (how nice of them to wear badges so you can identify them, I never realised before).

I'll also ask about the mood of people given the air quality, and see if I can get a straight answer about how she feels about the cultists, whether or not they've been acting strange(r) recently..Grimmie wrote:You seem to be at the end of your wits, if you don't mind me saying. I was under the assumption that this place was shutting down in a couple of weeks, why such furious typing?
Once I have my answers, I'll head down to the maintenance department as suggested by the team meat-shield, and see if I can sniff out any unused spares.
She's short with you, but cooperative. She's the genetic behavioural coder, and it seems the prototypes aren't coming along as forcasted, so she's under stress to get their coding right before the end of the tour. The air quality doesn't help, and she admits to there being some general bad feelings towards the chief technician. You can sympathise with people not enjoying being here at the moment. Regarding the cultists, she seems to see them as harmless to benign, but stops short of actualy subscribing to their views. She figures that such a well informed group of scientists wouldn't come to outlandish conclusions if there wasn't some grounding in fact, but she's not interested in the planet past a professional interest in the prototype Stormers.
Moving on to the maint bays, there's quite a lot of old and broken equipment there. It looks like the air scrubbers are being kept together with spit and bodge tape, and every box of spare filters you look in contains scores of badly worn and damaged ones. Indeed, a tech you find down there appears to be trying to recondition a stack of filters which already look to be well past their best.

It doesn't take too much searching before you find a clearing containing a large foil atmospheric balloon with a crate suspended from it. The thing is tethered to a weight which causes it to hang a few feet in the air, and occasionally a propeller fan will spring to life to keep its position when a breeze threatens to move it too far.
