Orange Exploration

[voidtreckermods]

Below are the floors of the facility that orange team is exploring.

The building itself is made of a stark metal, corridors are wide and many of the inside walls are made of glass. Though there is an outer fence and warning signs to say they are entering a restricted space the gates are not locked, nor is the door. Indeed there don’t seem to be any locks. The floors are connected by a set of elevators (shown as red blocks on the maps).

To explore an area please reply under the comment and give the number of the area on the map you wish to explore.

Each character may request TWO searches per IC day- though they may be in threads with others exploring and searching other places. This is to make sure everyone has a chance to search!

Floor +1

[voidtreckermods]

A wide corridor with glass walls. Each door slides open at the touch of a button. From the outside each room looks identical, a desk, a computer, a chair.

Day 1

[loveandduty]

She will look though 2 and 3

Re: Day 1

[voidtreckermods]

Both rooms have been left pretty tidy. Room two's computer is still on, as if someone left here in a relative hurry.

If she looks at the screen it is black, with green text. It seems that whoever worked here was maybe shirking before they left because it is open to a booking page, for train tickets.

Room three's computer is off. Of note however is a small robot on the desk. It is a sphere, with four legs, that have grabbers on the end. The top of the sphere is flattened and seems to be a holder for a mug or a glass.

[iamnotgod]

If someone asked over the comms to find a Terran to identify the robot via description, could they learn more about what it is?

Re: Day 1

[voidtreckermods]

They could certainly try, though the Terran may be very confused.

Day 1

[deage]

I guess let's hit up 12 and 13.

Ai will focus on getting into the computers and accessing any data inside. If there's any methods to write data onto removable media (USB, floppy, CD, or equivalent), she'll try to copy over the most important, lab-looking files onto said media and take it with her.

If not, she may disassemble a computer to take the hard drive.

Re: Day 1

[voidtreckermods]

They both have computers. There doesn't seem to be any removable media of any kind in the room.

If she disassembles a computer she will find it very different than any she knows. The closest thing she finds that might be a hardrive is a cylinder. It has three cubes suspended inside what seems to be a gel.

As for before she disassembles one...

The computer in room 12 has files on different compositions of desert sand near six different factories. The reports are incredibly detailed, focusing on how exposure to different chemicals changes the desert around the factory sites.

The computer in room 13 has a series of reports on where orbs have been sited. They are coordinates though if she digs a little deeper she will find a map that she can cross reference with the reports.

Day 1:

22 and 23?

[voidtreckermods]

In room 22 he will find, a computer and a neat and tidy office. Of note there is a badge on the desk, it has a screen that currently is a deep blue colour. Underneath there is a scale of colours going from deep blue to bright red. It seems to monitor something, but whatever that is is unclear.

In room 23 he will find a hand held tablet computer, as well as the main computer. It is big, made for Terran hands. He will find photographs of the orbs on it, taken from different angles. They are labelled with number strings.

Day 1

[soldier_blade]

Rooms 4 and 5

Re: Day 1

[voidtreckermods]

Room 4~ A neat and tidy office. The computer is open to a report on orb sightings. It seems that they have been seen around the globe and there have been reports of transport delays due to orbs floating above the tracks. There is an interactive map with known sightings of orbs, though with a note to say that though they have not been seen moving, their positions do change.

Room 5~ The computer is open to a report on chemical levels from a factory producing railway tracks. Notably the chair is knocked over in this room.

Day 1

[madcuriosity]

Rooms 7 and 8 please

[voidtreckermods]

Room 7 is neat and tidy. The computer is on but there is nothing of note on the screen (it's on the homepage). There is a small robot on the desk. It is a sphere, with four legs, that have grabbers on the end. The top of the sphere is flattened and seems to be a holder for a mug or a glass.

Room 8 is neat, except the chair is pushed back from the desk. The computer is off. On the desk there is a bright blue gemstone under a magnifying lamp.

[madcuriosity]

Can Alice take the robot? Does the robot work?

Also, Alice will take a look at the gemstone under the magnifying lamp.

[voidtreckermods]

Yes! There is a switch underneath to turn it on. When she does it will say Hello I am DT your office assistant. How may I help?. It will respond to voice commands - mostly in tidying desks, pressing buttons, holding drinks in the cup holder (and keeping them warm!)

Alice can definitely take it.

The gemstone looks very pretty under the magnifying lamp, the light refracts through it in interesting ways.

[madcuriosity]

... Alice will take DT, and she would also examine the gemstone, would there be any gloves around or any indication that you can't pick it up with your hands?

[voidtreckermods]

No there are no gloves or anything and a tentative touch will show it does not seem dangerous. It feels rough, unpolished but it is not sharp, nor is there any kind of substance on it that might hurt her.

It is rather large (a Terran could hold it in one hand, a human would probably need two and an Alice would be able to lift it, but will probably want to put it in her bag or get a friendly adult to carry it!)

Day 2

[blue_ice]

9 and 10?

[voidtreckermods]

Room 9~ There's not much of note in here, the chair is pushed out from the desk, the computer is on, but showing the homescreen. There is a mug of a bright orange liquid, half empty.

Room 10~ The computer is on here and open to an email/message. "All personnel. Report to reception. This is an immediate request." It's not signed but seems to come from an a management email address.

Day 2 Part 2

[loveandduty]

Going to look in Room 20

[voidtreckermods]

On the desk there is a thick book. It is labelled. Encyclopedia of Alien Artifacts.

If she flicks through it she will find pictures of various strange things, coordinates and a brief description of incidents where they were found. They most seem to be parts of space craft, usually having crashed.

Re: Floor +1

[iamnotgod]

Rooms 6 and 18 for Day 3! While scouting for monsters. XD

[voidtreckermods]

Room six is neat and tidy. The screen is on and there is a half written report about rising levels of air pollution near a factory and the effects it is having on local conditions.

However a second tab is open to a news story about the orbs. It is not that detailed, just reporting strange orbs seem across the planet.

Room eighteen is neat and tidy. The computer is off. However on the desk there is a power stapler, it is probably the most efficient stapler Webmind has ever seen.

[iamnotgod]

New power tool acquired! Just add a light on the end.

Will Webmind find any interesting details in the report (names of factory/factory owners, names of pollutants, is it obviously biased in some way)?

[voidtreckermods]

There's a bunch of details about various factories and pollutants, all of which are alien to Webmind. It doesn't *seem* biased, but without a cultural understanding of this world it will be hard to tell if it is being subtle in it's attempt to lead towards a conclusion.
