Rata Mall - UFO - Phase 10

[ambic]

No hole there either

[RubberDuck]

Hmm, must have been washed down a storm drain or something.

[RubberDuck]

Or..



I have a new plan.. Johannes after we free Harry from the UFO, we check this manhole with the ladder, then we go back in the carpark check the other manhole which appears to go elsewhere and then something a little (or very) crazy.

I can't find the hole the arm dropped down into the basement from.. Other than a few small dents the ship appears to be in working order and no reason for it to have crashed.

I autopsied the dead alien to see how it lost it's arm.

"The alien appears to be slightly squashed as though something landed on it."

Meaning this alien wasn't in the ship when it crashed. Someone then tried to bury the alien, but they left the human occupant of the car. I suspect this was the UFO pilot.

Instead of teleporting away when we're done here, I'd like you to fly the ship and reverse it from the crash site to see if we can access another area or something underneath it. If it starts to go horribly wrong, we can use the teleporter on board to bail out.

[RubberDuck]

Jia is space cop right? Therefore, probably also an experienced pilot or qualified to fly this class of ship..

[groza529]

The hole to the basement is, I believe, DIRECTLY below the UFO.

[groza529]

Open the UFO door for Harry

[groza529]

Lower ladder into manhole

[Primate]

Leave the UFO swiftly

[ambic]

The ladder is in the hole. Who wants to climb down?

[RubberDuck]

I’ve got the flashlight, I’ll check it out.

Climb down

[ambic]

(Ill hold off till you've all discussed it)

[RubberDuck]

Assuming that means we can all fit at once. Anyone else want to come?

[Primate]

I'll head down the ladder.

[ambic]

You all notice the light up above, from what must be the brewery turn off, and then on again. SOmeone must be in there.

[RubberDuck]

Other than Jia - Who else knew how to get in there? I know I told both of you, reasonably certain no one else knew the way.

It's possible to traverse from the Cafe to the Lab to the Cinema to the Brewery and also to use the elevator to reach the Office and the Eatery all during the same phase. So it could be Xavier, but I never told him how to get in there or that the room even existed.

Harry did anyone go to the cinema with you at the start, if no, then someone has moved rooms since.

[RubberDuck]

Good odds they would have seen the light from my flashlight while the lights were off.

Turn off flashlight for now

Will turn it back on once we've decided about the manhole.

[RubberDuck]

Let's see.. That also means they could find their way to the cinema emergency exit and jump down into the dumpster like Harry did.

[RubberDuck]

If we need to run from Frankenstein Casey, we get on board the ship and then Johannes put the alien ring away, while we're inside, that should close us safely inside, then we can teleport away.

[RubberDuck]

We could actually go and investigate, if we teleport to the office, take the elevator up, check out the brewery, go back to the cinema, take the exit and then jump back down here via the dumpster.

Just a thought.

[Primate]

"Nobody came with me, I spent no time in the cinema to check though. They can't come down exactly the way i can, the staircase has collapsed. You'd need to actually just jump all the way down, you couldn't jump into the dumpster"

"After Johannes left me in the lab, I did move some things looking for secret passages, and found nothing."

"Possibly the light flickered because there was a power cut throughout the building?"

[Primate]

"The brewery, sorry, not the lab."

[RubberDuck]

Maybe, seems too convenient there'd be a power surge precisely while we are out here to see it. The description states: "Someone must be in there."

Did the lights flicker in the brewery while you were there? And was there a toggleable light switch? Not every room has light switches - such as the Cafe.

It seems to me that someone has moved from the Office or the Lab to the cinema after you departed, you would have seen who entered the room with you however briefly. So my guess is that Jia went to the Office with Carla, and took the elevator up to have another look at the brewery. Perhaps hiding from frankencasey.

We also know Xavier can move freely around the aforementioned loops of rooms, so anyone up that way has a chance of running into xavier and his creations.

Yvonne says she isn't doing anything with the generators and the basement lights didn't flicker.

[groza529]

"The lights did not flicker, but there was a pull chain to turn them on and off. In fact they were off when I arrived."
"The only others that had the knowledge to access the brewery, as far as I'm aware, are Jia, and... Terry. But it is also perhaps possible that the brewery light could be seen from the seat. Harry, how is it that *you* found it?"

[groza529]

Examine stairs/rubble

"Does it appear that we would be able to descend safely from the cinema, or is that option now off the table?"

[groza529]

"Never mind my question about how you found the entrance Harry, I see that Lacey has already answered it."

Descend ladder (if Harry and Lacey are not in the way)
