Enviro-scanner tells you the air quality is shit, borderline toxic. About the same as when you got here then. Motion scanner shows not a great deal, although there are a few clusters slowly moving about. They're not nearby or moving in your direction. However, exploring and looking for exits will take you near them.

The bulkheads that the other squad members found didn't look hugely sturdy, and were locked electronically. This lab isn't designed to be pressurised much, and they're not security doors, so they're only made from thin metal.

Does it look to me as if anyone other than ourselves are still inside/alive?

There are people doing science and still alive.

Just not in the bit you're in. You've only found two corpses. Also, the monitors mounted around the place spring to life on the walls. They show Shelton, being filmed as he walks through the facility.

Shelton wrote:Workers, people of Lilac, the time is now. The company has betrayed us, sending agents to lie to us and kill us, turning our projects against us. We can make a better life here, out of sight, in the clean air. We know that we can live in harmony with the planet organism, all our research tells us that. They won't find us. They can't risk polluting the planet with vehicles, and they could never catch us on foot. We are showing you the way, we are the pioneers. Leave your facilities, find your way to the planet. Vanish into its embrace. We have years to find each other here. All our lives.

He continues to broadcast rhetoric as he moves, and you recognise a few landmarks to show him moving in the direction of the airlock.

Grimmie points to the screen.

What say we sit back and listen to Shelton's heroic speech, and head off back to the space-lift once they're all outside?

I hope you have suits with you/don't have to pass the airlock

We could encourage them out the airlock by charging about in a vaguely towards them direction making loud "we are coming to get you, rargh" noises?

Is it possible to access my armor from where we are and put it on? I'd rather put that on right now.

Also if there is a computer terminal around I can use, I'd like to see what controls I can get access to. If not, I'd like to see if I can do anything from my oyster.

Computer Use (4): 2, 8 + 4 = 14

I'll join whoever's guarding the suits.

The elevator should be accessible from a few corridors away, through the rest room. You don't know if they've locked the bulkheads in that direction, you've not been there yet. I'm assuming that that's also where your armour is. There's a computer terminal in the cage room where you are now, and one in Shelton's office where you just came from. You're not getting control of anything with just computer use though, you'll need some hacking. The suits are still in the airlock, since nobody has said they've been taken anywhere else.

In the airlock? They should be moved, asap. I'll take all I can carry and dump them somewhere out of sight.

That's what I expected but it was worth checking out.

You can't carry any. There's sealed bulkheads between you and them, not to mention a number of grobbly Stormers.

If you open the door, I'll go talk to the family

I thought Kt'rr was sitting on the bio-suits up until alarms began to ring?

You all went to Shelton's office to see the message.

Well I'll try to find a way to the airlock anyway. If I get there, I'll look an out of sight spot near the airlock and hide in case Shelton needs a little motive to hurry the fuck out.

Anyone else going with him?

Yeah why not. I will go as well.

If they're in bio-suits, it's fission mailed! Hopefully that rousing speak about fresh air will convince them otherwise though.

I'm pretty sure we can "accidentally" penetrate a biosuit and not kill the person inside.
