The Curse of Rata Mall - Basement

Room Map

Present:

Talitha

is Yvonne Skeggs: Female, Teenager Lanky, medium height, tattooed arms. Wearing Chainmail and a hardhat

Description

There are two generators here, both are running. They are on the south wall, raised up off the ground on a platform. You have to climb the stairs to get to them.

Running around the South and West walls is a pipe with 3 valves. It's unclear if they are on or off, or even important. They all appear rusted. There are a number of other pipes around the walls
There is a wooden cupboard on the north wall, and next to that are more pipes, and a lever.

The ceiling in here is cracked and damaged. There even appears to be blood on both the roof and floor. Something happened in here.

There is a switchboard next to the steps.

[Talitha]

Do I have the walkie-talkie?

[Talitha]

inspect cupboard

inspect security mirror

inspect switchboard

[ambic]

You have the walkie talkie - sorry - Ariel never responded, so I left it as unresolved.

The cupboard has a wrench in it.
The mirror has been shattered.
The switchboard is running. Someone appears to have got this working in a previous phase.

[Talitha]

smash the CCTV

[ambic]

It lies in pieces on the floor.

[Talitha]

Inspect the pipes and valves on South and West walls

[Talitha]

Inspect the pipes and valves on South and West walls

[Talitha]

Stand by stairs and see if I can glimpse anything in the eatery

[ambic]

The pipes look like they carry gas. The wrench would fit them well

The eatery is quiet and silent. You cant really see into it from here, but hearing nothing is good enough right?

[Talitha]

Look around all walls for a phone jack

[ambic]

No phone jack in here unfortunately

You can turn the valves with the wrench if you need

[Talitha]

inspect strobe light

examine what is beyond the security mirror

inspect mummified arm

[ambic]

The arm appears to be old, and dried, much like the blood. Could be years old.

The strobe light is off.

There is nothing beyond the mirror.

[Talitha]

mutters to myself

Xavier is knifing people in the dark, cloning people, blowing up people, creating Frankenmonsters out of people, and Lacey is all "ohhh he's not that bad"

Clear case of Stockholm syndrome.

[Talitha]

check the room for any electrical cables

[ambic]

There is a cable running between the two machines

[Talitha]

examine the ceiling, examine the hole in the ceiling
Can I see through it? What can I see?

[Talitha]

If | is the west wall, -- is the south wall, xx is gas pipeline and 0 is the valves, this is what I'm looking at:

Code: Select all

The hole goes through a layer of plaster, dirt, then asphalt. You appear to be under a road. There is something metallic covering the hole

[ambic]

Yes to the pipes

[Talitha]

Sorry I meant to ask it ok to post that code into the walkie talkie

[ambic]

Sure

[Talitha]

attempt to climb on top of one of the generators to get a better look through the hole in the ceiling

[ambic]

The hole is what it is, you wont see much more. Theres soemthing blocking it, otherwise you could see the sky through it Its not that much more than an arms width. It looks like the arm on the floor came through it.
