Pete's third shadowrun adventure:Welcome to Fortune

[HereComesPete]

I'll check the tunnel adjacent to the blast doors on the right side to see what I can find.

More corridors full of test cells, lots and lots of them. If they're the same length as the one you took to get to this hub, there's hundreds of the cells on the corridors branching off this central point.

Is there any chance my biomonitor can give us a rough indication of where Aysun is?

The biomonitor feed being sent to your pans is showing still further increases in biological change. It's further in to the facility, through the blast door is still best guess.

[Roman Totale]

I suggest we hurry - things are not looking promising for our benefactor.

[Joose]

Fuck it, clickyclicky mr flashing button. Hold on to your butts people!

[HereComesPete]

The console gurgles into life.

Code: Select all

Initializing...................

Starting containment procedure...

Doors...Activated...

Delivery system status...Error...

Purge system status...Unknown...

Containment procedure...Incomplete...

Resolve issues before continuing...

The doors on the corridors slide down, effectively trapping everyone inside the small control room. The console returns to blinking the message about containment.

[deject]

Hey uh, what just happened?

Am I enclosed with everyone else or am I stuck in that other corridor?

[HereComesPete]

I see it as you checked the corridors quickly and discovered them devoid of anything but closed doors, then returned to the room. However if you want to be in a corridor outside as the doors go down then that's cool with me.

[deject]

Nah, I'd rather not be isolated in a room full of horrific abominations.

[Dog Pants]

The corridor it is then.

[HereComesPete]

So...

[Roman Totale]

I don't know what to do! Presumably we need to resolve the issues mentioned on the console, but I don't know how letting it run the containment procedure will get us to Aysun any quicker. I'm so confused.

[HereComesPete]

This is one for Joose unless any of you guys are any good with computers?

[Joose]

Yeah, im a bit confused here too. I thought getting around the containment thing was what I was already trying to do?

[HereComesPete]

It is indeed, perhaps I went too abstract in my puzzling. The delivery system is the drones.

[HereComesPete]

...The drones need to perform their default program to allow the terminal to assess the purge system status...

Anyone getting me or am I still drawing a blank?

[Dog Pants]

The drones need to plug in to the little holes over the doors.

[Roman Totale]

The drones need to plug in to the little holes over the doors.

That's what I thought - I assumed they were little drone doors for them to fly through, settle into the keypads and link everything up.

[HereComesPete]

There we go. As I'm sure you guys wish to keep the tremendous pace going...

Buttons are pressed -

The drones rise in to the air one by one and fly through the small holes over the blast doors and out into the corridors. After a few minutes of sonorous droning the computer beeps.

Code: Select all

Initializing...................

Starting containment procedure...

Doors...Activated...

Delivery system status...Activated...

Purge system status...Fully effective...

Containment procedure...Incomplete...

The system is now flashing up a message about containment again, but this time it's about initiating the process.

[deject]

If the doors are actually opening up I'll try to slip through them.

[HereComesPete]

The doors are steadfastly closed. They were the only thing that changed after the first attempt at sorting out the biohazard. The drones all buggered off through tiny holes above the doors after the second attempt.

I seem to have stalled this harder than that time I gave the fat hooker a bag of chips.
