Middex Armory, Command Center, Klos 4th, 350AC, 14:15
The party members have run back and forth, with wide eyes, yelling. Here is the current situation/actions:
Arvak is in the small room, looking at the computer (to which the cable from the box-thing is connected). Several screens are similar to the ones in the security room near the front of the base. They are showing video feed of a room you’ve never seen, with metal tubes running into a pit, and lots of pipes and cables. There is an etched sign over these monitors reading “Reactor”. Another screen is showing a lot of numbers, bar graphs, and charts, one of which is flashing red. The last screen has the somewhat familiar control icons he learned about on his first trip to Middex Armory (each one is like a rune, it symbolizes a computer program which you can open and manipulate). Arvak makes a computer use roll (Rank + IN) to see if its obvious on how to open the reactor controls (8): 5 1 = white. Nope. He hasn’t yet touched the controls.
Phallon has been looking at (but not touching) the bracelet and the metal box. Awareness roll -2CS for sickness (12): 30 2 = white. So far, no extra info other than what was posted last turn.
Zeebo is in the main control room, looking at Mensa. First Aid roll -2CS sickness (12): 5 8 = blue. Mensa is unconscious. You feel he is weak from starvation and probably taxed himself too much recently. You’re not sure if he will revive on his own with time, or continue to decline and die. You think he’ll survive these next 10 minutes though.
Ragnor is also near Mensa. The large computer screen overhead shows what looks like reactor controls, but with a large “Program Protocols not followed. ACCESS DENIED” logo across the center. The screen in front of Mensa shows the strange code. Awareness roll -2CS sickness (14): 40 8 = blue. Ragnor recognizes the code is the exact same as what was up on the large screen when he first entered the room.
Another screen shows the flashing warning signs. 10 minutes before meltdown.
What now?
