Rata Mall - Secret Lab

The Curse of Rata Mall - Secret Lab

You arrive in the secret lab.

On the mattress are some clothes, a monitor.
There is a computer laptop here - welded to the desk.
Theres is a machine on the south wall, labelled Time Machine - But its not functioning.
There are 4 cloning vats, one of which is smashed, with water leading to the laundry chute.
There is a Portal system in the North East, and its also not operating.
There is a generator hooked to the cloning vats.

ON the floor, next to the secret entrance is a dead body - burned. It's holding a crispy wok, and very crispy stick.

Present

is Jia Xing: Female, Early 30s Asian, Short, Athletic

Investigate tool bench

[ambic]

There is a remote control on the bench, nothing else of note

[CaptainMeme]

Investigate table, then the machine next to it

[ambic]

The table and machine is incomprehensible. It looks likes someone sleeps on the table, and the machine behind it seems to do nothing but produce data on a bunch of dials.

[ambic]

Yvonne slides down the laundry chute.

[ambic]

Yvonne lands on the mattress, and dusts herself off. She sees she's joined Jia in the secret lab.

[Talitha]

HI!

[CaptainMeme]

Point the gun at Yvonne

"Roll up your sleeves, and put your hands up so your arms are clearly visible. I have no quarrell with you unless you refuse to do so."

[Talitha]

I comply with the orders

[Talitha]

I know what you are looking for. Someone already checked me in the Eatery.

[CaptainMeme]

Investigate arms from a distance

[ambic]

Arms are tattooed, but appear like nice young arms should.

[CaptainMeme]

Lower the gun.

"Okay, fantastic. Did the person who checked you explain what's going on? I can give you the details if you need them."

Jia gestures at the time machine.

"I think they may have come in through here. I was sent in with a code and it worked on the freezer door."

[Talitha]

Yes they explained, and I think I know who the person you are looking for is.

points to body on the ground

It's Terry

I think he might've been cloned

[Talitha]

Who gave you the code?

[Talitha]

I'm a little confused.

[Talitha]

Can you talk me through exactly how you got in here?

[CaptainMeme]

"I came in here with it written down on a piece of paper, no clue what it was for. So it must be something to do with my objective, which makes me think either the AL came in through here or is attempting to do something with this."

"And someone has definitely been in here, what with the water on the floor. There were clear signs that Terry's body was in the freezer beforehand so someone has clearly moved it."

[CaptainMeme]

"Carla, Casey and I were trying codes in the freezer at the back of the Cafe one at a time. I went in and entered 3434 and the door shut behind me and this one opened."
(It was literally like an hour ago so you had good timing )

[CaptainMeme]

"In any case, you said you think you know who I'm looking for. Who am I looking for? And how do you know it's them?"

"I should also say I don't really care what your alignment is as long as you're not AL. I'm only here to do one job, and once I'm done with that I'm done and I don't really care what happens here."

[Talitha]

Terry was in the freezer? Oh my gosh. I highly suspect that beautiful doctor of COLD blooded murder and of running this evil clone lab.

I could see you three on the cafe camera and I wanted to let you in but couldn't open the door from this side

[Talitha]

(Out of character) I just have to go somewhere for a couple hours but so keen to talk to you more

[CaptainMeme]

"Does this switch not open the door?"

Investigate switch
