The machines aren't running still, but it looks like the utility stuff was.

We just hot wired in a circuit that had power and it fired up a bunch of stuff. Is that door still locked?

As soon as some of the computer-y stuff looks booted up I'll take a look at them.

Looks like typical control software. Most things seem to be online other than the machinery and conveyor systems. Probably for the best given the condition they're in. It's showing a network link too.

I'll see if there is anyway to get network access.

Computer Use (4): 7, 4 + 4 = 15

I'll see if the door opens. I still wont be going in though.

Deej: Yep, you can do whatever passes for a ping to the main SLA net. There's no interface over a simple telnet type affair though.

Joose: The door creaks upwards. Your colleagues are free.

Yeah I'm not sure what I could do from these terminals here. Is there a crude map of where we have been and where we haven't? I'm totally in adventure game mode and i want to fully explore as much as I can.

No, but you find a list of production chambers which appears to have a couple that you've not seen yet; machining and pre-production.

Should we go check them out? I'm a little wary of leaving mrs creepy dead person in here, but I can't think of anything else to try.

Might as well, frankly.

Everything goes swimmingly from here on in. All but a few emergency lights are out, but the doors work fine now. Machining and pre-production are full of big presses and formers, lathes and millers. It all looks like it hasn't moved in a long time. Also while exploring you find the mainframe core, right at the bottom of the facility. It's fairly small and not particularly high tech, just a rack of circuitry and an admin terminal.

So, what are the team doing then?

I'm kinda out of ideas again. Unless one of the terminals that control the equipment gives any good info I'm officially stuck.

What was the objective of the BPN?

Figure out what the unusual power draw is, but other than "some weird ghost thing" I don't have a clue. If anything, we've increased the power use, lol. I guess we could try talking to the ghost some more?

Not quite, it was to investigate the source of the unusual data flow.

Could we submit "The unusual data flow was because of a weird ghost thing" as our mission report?

Deej, can you log into the admin terminal and see if you can dig out any history? Might be able to get some logs and get an idea as to what happened.
