If the deposit box opens, take contents

Leave vault

<ooc>Mod told me by PM that someone objected and we have the additional 24 hours</ooc>

<ooc>Whoever is chasing poro wants more time to get him</ooc>

<ooc>Pooky, sorry</ooc>

Lol - saw the Sorry Pooky, and panicked Id posted in wrong thread.... deleted.... reread.... phew

He tapped the 3rd deposit box. “It appears that three wrong codes will trigger the ink. I have two options for box #3... any objection to my trying them? I don’t believe I have anything resembling a key to the other boxes and I would think anyone who does would have joined us as soon as the bank opened, but I will check the Tesla keychain.”

Examine the Tesla keys to see if there is a deposit box key with them. If so, attempt to open boxes 1 and 4.

“There are 3 gold ingots, and 3 of us. Seems to be a pretty easy division, if we plan to bring to bring them with us. We could also leave them in a deposit box, or in the vault.”

“On that note, do we wish to leave the vault open when we leave, or shut it? We don’t have to make it easy for anyone else, but maybe we want to.”

"I have little interest in gold ingots, but I can carry one if it is important to you to have them split up for the time being. I think I have a code that may work on the remaining box, but it would be a shot in the dark and could just as easily be for something else. How confident are you that one of your codes are for this box?"
"And I have no preference on whether to leave the vault open or closed as long as there is nothing exceptionally dangerous in here. I would prefer that drones had access to as few weapons as possible. Speaking of which,"

Pick up the half-crowbar

It's a pretty useless piece of metal

“The PIN for my box was 4 digits. I expect the other to be the same. There was a code in the middle office that matches this pattern: 1499. This is one of my options. The other is the time the clock was stuck on. This one seems less likely.
“Additionally I picked up this.”

Show Jia the bank card

“It’s possible this card uses one of these codes.
“I am inclined to say that if, based on what I’ve said, you still think your code as likely then we can try it and the one from the cubicle, but the clock code should probably be a final resort.”
“By the way, the keys worked on box #4 as you see. It contained $1000 in 100s.”

Give Jia and Harry each $300

“As for the ingots... perhaps we could store them in the deposit boxes. I’ll put one in my box 2. I’ll put one in box 4 and one of you can take the key. The third will be trickier unless we manage to open one of the other boxes.”

Put a gold ingot in box #2 and shut it.

Put a gold ingot in box #4 and shut it.

Offer the key to box #4 to Harry and Jia.

The ingots don't fit.
Harry and Jia may opt to take the key to Box 4. They will receive the Tesla key with it.
...

*Harry rolls down his sleeves, rebuttons it. Puts on his jacket and takes up his cane. He isn't shaking any more and has accepted the situation.*

"You are the person with the gun. You have threatened to erase my memory, so I am inclined to acquiesce. I understand that we live a complicated existance now, and I have

Zero

inclination to have my mind and memories stolen, either by you, or by some cult of a machine god. I

appreciate

you telling me, and you have my word that I will assist you to the best of my ability. In return, I want to keep my memories, I don't want to be in a situation like this again in a years time."

Harry takes the $300 wistfully, kisses it and puts it in his jacket pocket

Take the key to box #4

Harry puts the remaining Ingot in his backpack unless he is stopped

"I'll hide this somewhere, I'll tell you where before I do it. We don't want to be carrying it around but also don't want to lose it"

"As for who to suspect, this isn't the first time aliens have come up. Pooky mentioned them in the bookshop. Said they'd been sighted near uranus."

"There's lots of people wearing t-shirts, we should pay attention if that changes"

Address CaptainMeme

Are there other things than can impact our memory out there? It feels like something is moving that we don't have control over.

Harry takes the keys. He also takes 1 of the ingots. Its very heavy.

"My! What chaos! Well, that changes a few things in here...
"First of all, it sounds like it is safe for me to try one code on this deposit box."

Attempt to open deposit box 3 with pin 1499. If it opens, take the contents (we can sort them out in a bit)

Address both Jia and Harry

"I should warn you both that before we go I want to collect the tool that opened the vault... it is possible that this will cause the vault to close automatically, so I would step out when you're finished in there."

"The young mechanic said he needed gasoline, cables, and perhaps some tubing. The truck presumably has the gasoline we need.Now that this is accessible again..."

Examine Tesla engine compartment and take any harvestable cables and tubing

"And we have an ATM that is in the alley now. It is possible that it was horribly damaged, but I imagine they are built sturdy to resist theft, so I might as well try."

If the ATM appears operational, use the bank card. Attempt to use PIN 1499. If it fails, attempt to use PIN 1856.

Pick up the Tesla wing mirror

"You never know."

The pin does not work
The next pin also does not work
Johannes has a mirror (complete with 'tesla-framing')

Assuming it's not already opened, use the code 6279 on Box 3

Take the $300 and put it in my pocket

"Harry, I think you may have misinterpreted what I said. I am not able to erase memory, I was attempting to make it clear that if you do not allow me to do my job then the drones would. Perhaps I did not state that clearly enough. Regardless, I am glad that you are happy to assist and I will not take any action against you unless you have been converted into a drone, at which point it would not be against

you

as such."

"I have no idea whether there are other things that can affect memory out there. I suspect there's nothing that will remove memories of the mall in the same way that this will, since this is outright putting you under the control of another person. If you have lost your memories from beforehand, I cannot help with that and have no idea how you would recover those."

"I also doubt all 12 people being here is a coincidence, but I'm also unsure as to what the reason would be behind that. I am here because I followed the drone here, and I imagine the drone was attracted to the crowd."

6279 is the incorrect pin for Box 3

"Oh, thats a relief"

"If I turn into a drone, I'd want you to kill me."

Put brochures on top of the pile of dust of the dead man, attempting to disguise the evidence.

Throw the feet in the vault before it potentially closes.

Examine the Alleyway outside for any evidence of where the security guard came from. (other doors, etc)

The dust is covered by brochures now.
Feet are in the vault

Retrieve a pen from the stationery cabinet

"Can't hurt."

Pen, complete with small chain

Johannes puts his hands on his hips. "Bad luck on deposit box 3, though not as bad as the next person to use the wrong code. I am going to try your code over here too, as well."

Use the bank card with the ATM, pin 6279

He then returns briefly to the vault <It appears that it is still open and the clock still read 10:35 to give us a chance to react to the boxes being too small?> "If the ingots are too large for the security boxes, we should leave at least one hidden outside the vault. It is possible we may need it for something and would be a shame if it was unreachable. I will leave it in the bank, but somewhere that is not likely to be searched."

Take one of the gold ingots and hide it (per PM)

Address Harry

"Since you now have the keys to the Tesla, could you open the engine compartment and resume the search for cabling and tubing?"

Look behind the counter for any rolled coins, particularly quarters

"I promised Carla I'd try to exchange the $10, and I too would like to know what the fortune teller has to say."

Walk the perimeter of the room once more looking for anything else we might have missed

[Primate]

*Harry gives the thumbs up.*

Open Trunk/engine compartment of tesla, look for any cabling/tubing that might be useful

[groza529]

(Let’s try again)

Once everyone is out of the vault, adjust the time to 10:34
Shut down the computer

[ambic]

Nothing in the tesla of use. Clock is back to 10:34. COmputer shut down. If I missed anything else PM me. For the searches, no you found everything you were likely to find without being specific
