[20:17] <@BradGM> +++++++++++++++++GAME START+++++++++++++++++ [20:18] <@BradGM> **You wake up suddenly from a dreamless sleep. Your whole body aching, the intensity felt stronger and stronger with each heartbeat, roaring inside your head. As you sit up, the pain dissipates itself. Then you being to see that you’re fully clothed, in a dirty 4mx3mx3m room with metallic walls, floor and ceiling. A lone neon light hangs from the ceiling....cont..** [20:20] * +Mira_Atella instinctively reaches up and feels at her ear, not finding what she was hoping for. [20:21] * +Alaric sits up with a scowl as the effect fades. He looks around, scowling still. [20:21] <+Lazerus_Grim> *without rising runs through a mental and then physical checklist of himself* [20:22] * +Mira_Atella turns to put her feet on the floor but the pounding in her head keeps her from standing up just yet. [20:22] * +Grendel wakes up and looks around, removing himself from the bed before looking for a data port. [20:23] * +Lazerus_Grim mutters something to himself [20:23] * +Alaric stands up slowly. Continuing frowning, he moves to look for the door. [20:24] <@BradGM> ((Oh...I didn't wrote about no door...well I guess you're stuck in the room.)) [20:25] * +Lazerus_Grim sits up and looks at the others, waiting for them to find something or make some remark [20:25] <+Alaric> ((I said look for door. not that there was one.) [20:25] <@BradGM> **The door is a sheet of metal on a frame.** at the other end of the room. [20:38] <+Alaric> ((oh...didn't know that was said)) [20:39] <+Mira_Atella> ((it wasn't heh )) [20:39] <@BradGM> ..cont In front is a small shelf with a hotplate and a small food conserver unit separates it from a door. Over the counter is a closed window, bands of sheet metal tied together to make a crude, but sound dampening, binder blocks the view of outside. [20:58] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((be afraid, be very afraid)) [20:58] <@BradGM> **Yes; you all have the gear that's written.** [20:58] * +Mira_Atella takes the card and turns back to the door, sliding the card across the panel. [20:59] <@BradGM> ((*a 14-15 inches long)) [20:59] * +Alaric nods to himself as he watches. "The others seem to have been here a while and move with a purpose it seems. Has anyone found a way out?" [21:00] <@BradGM> ((Oh Mira, sorry, I meant a panel, like a fusebox door panel.)) [21:00] <+Mira_Atella> (( ah )) [21:00] <@BradGM> ((not a direct access panel)) [21:00] * +Mira_Atella realizing it's not that kind of panel she looks away, "I'd blow us up if someone else wants to touch it." [21:00] <+Mira_Atella> a steps away from the door and the panel. [21:01] * +Lazerus_Grim looks pointedly at the techie [21:01] <+Alaric> "That isn't my area either." [21:03] * +Grendel frowns as he studies the other, before slowly moving over to the panel. [21:04] * +Grendel studies the panel carefully. [21:05] <@BradGM> **The simple spirit of the pressure-button activates and opens the panel, showing 4 access keycards sticking out of an elelctornic locking system.** [21:05] <@BradGM> **You would recognized it as something standard on a Forge world, simply covered wiht a panel** [21:06] <@BradGM> ((mostly workers' quarters)) [21:06] * +Alaric looks at the open panel and the cards curiously. "I take it those are for us? 1 each I would presume." [21:07] * +Lazerus_Grim reaches forward and grabs one, comparing it with the other (which he took back from Mira) [21:07] * +Mira_Atella "Must be." Reaches around Grendel and grabs one of them. "I think we need to get moving." [21:07] * +Grendel checks his pockets. [21:08] * +Mira_Atella looks over the newly acquired card. [21:08] * +Alaric takes one, studying it curiously. "Time does not seem to be pressing. Let us proceed cautiously." [21:09] <@BradGM> **While both access keycard, the icography, colour, size (6-9 Galleria got a tenth less on it's length) and even where the circuitry is located, makes them incompatible, if only with some jury-rigging and tekheresy** [21:09] * +Mira_Atella arches a brow, "I don't think those others were on a casual stroll. We're probably meant to be somewhere." [21:09] * +Lazerus_Grim "Before we go anywhere, perhaps we should establish who we are, and perhaps consider what, if anything, we know of this place?" [21:10] * +Alaric nods. "I am Alaric Augustus Novarius. As for where we are and why? I have no idea." [21:10] <+Grendel> "I am Technographer Grendel." [21:11] <+Mira_Atella> "You can call me Mira, and I think if any of us knew where we were, it would have been mentioned." [21:11] * +Mira_Atella slips the keycard in to a pocket along with the first one that she was still holding on to. [21:12] <+Lazerus_Grim> "I apologize for wondering, Mira. I am Grim." [21:13] * +Mira_Atella looks around the doorway more, looking for a place for the new keycards to go. [21:13] * +Alaric slips the card into a pocket and nods. "Let us proceed with finding out where we are, shall we?" [21:14] <@BradGM> ((yeah wait- Grim took the card back form Mira to check it. If you take stuff back, write it please.)) [21:14] <+Mira_Atella> (( he did, when? )) [21:14] <+Alaric> ((I took one of the 4 cards. did say it)) [21:16] <@BradGM> ((yeah- parenthesys..)) [21:16] <@BradGM> (([21:07] * +Lazerus_Grim reaches forward and grabs one, comparing it with the other (which he took back from Mira))) [21:17] <+Mira_Atella> (( k, next time make sure I see it please instead of ganking it, she would not have reacted well to having something pulled out of her hands )) [21:18] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((i apologize)) [21:18] <+Mira_Atella> (( np )) [21:18] <@BradGM> ((since you're going out- who's holding onto the keycard?)) [21:18] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((we'll assume I have it for now)) [21:18] <+Mira_Atella> (( Grim has it )) [21:18] <+Alaric> ((we all have one of the 4 from the 'panel')) [21:19] <@BradGM> **As you take the white cards striped red,gold and black, the doors unlocks itself.** [21:21] <+Alaric> "Shall we?" He moves and opens the door. [21:22] * +Mira_Atella nods and goes through the door. [21:22] * +Lazerus_Grim follows Mira [21:23] * +Grendel steps out, considering the surroundings. [21:23] <@BradGM> **The door slides open, showing a catwalk maybe 1.5 meters wide. You seems to be maybe 50-60 meters up, and you're maybe a quarter of the way up to the top..or what might be the top.** [21:24] * +Mira_Atella looks to the left in the direction the other groups had been going. [21:24] <@BradGM> **Most people are going left. You door has stripes matching your cards** [21:33] * +Mira_Atella doesn't say a word and walks after the group. [21:34] <+Alaric> (( ah...would explain why I have no idea what's going on) [21:34] * +Lazerus_Grim points the other two full humans towards the sign. [21:34] <+Mira_Atella> (( I was just waiting to see if they had gone left or right heh )) [21:34] <@BradGM> ((you have your microbeads as well)) [21:35] <+Alaric> ((That would imply someone actually communicates...)) [21:35] * +Mira_Atella looks at the sign being pointed out. [21:35] <+Grendel> ((fellowship of 24. He's not exactly the nicest :) )) [21:35] <@BradGM> **It is a sign, but your'e too far away to see what it is.** [21:36] <+Mira_Atella> (( eh. though I said I went after them, okay.. )) [21:36] * +Mira_Atella unable to read it from where she is, she waits to get closer. [21:37] <@BradGM> **Getting closer you see it is a sing pointing out to a rail station** [21:38] * +Mira_Atella continues to follow the mass of people as they pass the sign, wondering where exactly they are more than ever. [21:38] * +Alaric moves along, continuing to look around and listening to anything being said, trying to gather some information. [21:39] * +Grendel glances down at one of the passing workers, stopping one of them. "Who is in charge here?" [21:39] <@BradGM> **The worker mass leads to a large rail station maybe halfway in the mass of hab blocks.** [21:40] <@BradGM> **Grendel, the worker looks at you oddly "Huh..The station Enginseer." *He points to a bay of windows overseeing the entrance hall of the station** [21:41] * +Grendel looks around for a way up to the Enginseer. [21:41] <@BradGM> **roll perception** [21:41] <+Lazerus_Grim> !perc 31 [21:41] <+DiceServitor> Lazerus_Grim rolls [ 31% (or Lower) : 12 15%, Success ] [21:42] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((lol, sorry, i bet that wasn't for me)) [21:42] <+Alaric> !perc 31 [21:42] <+DiceServitor> Alaric rolls [ 31% (or Lower) : 12 30%, Success ] [21:42] <+Alaric> ((habit ;) )) [21:42] <@BradGM> **You can see a large staricase guarded by 2 tech-Enforcers.** [21:43] <@BradGM> ((no wait that was for Grendel! [21:57] <@BradGM> "We have received no news of any visit." [21:58] <+Grendel`> "My arrival was unexpected." [22:00] <@BradGM> "I am sure. Please return to your duties." [22:01] <+Grendel`> "That would be part of the crux of the matter." [22:02] <@BradGM> "Explain." [22:03] <+Grendel`> "My arrival is unexplained and I have no duties." [22:03] <@BradGM> ((The rest of you..doing anything or observing?)) [22:04] <+Mira_Atella> (( just walking with the crowd but keeping an eye towards them )) [22:04] <+Alaric> ((continuing to watch/listen and discern what I can)) [22:05] <@BradGM> "Then I recommend you report your presence to Servitown, as to have a duty assigned to you." [22:06] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((has moved to stand against a wall a little ways 'downstream' of the matter)) [22:06] <@BradGM> "Please return to your duties." [22:06] <+Grendel`> "Location?" [22:06] <@BradGM> "Train, then exit at Servitown Station. [22:08] * +Grendel` thanks them and heads for the train. [22:08] * +Lazerus_Grim proceeds to follow Grendel. He comes up alongside the techie and asks, "What was that about?" [22:10] <+Grendel`> "Attempting to talk to a higher authority." [22:10] * +Lazerus_Grim "Didn't go well?" [22:10] * +Alaric heads for the train given a lack of options.

[22:15] * +Lazerus_Grim points in the direction they were walking with a question on his face, but shrugs it off and follows Grendel [22:15] <@BradGM> **Indeed it is a data-port** [22:16] * +Grendel` pauses by the data-port, fiddling with the back of his skull as he removes a cord, jacking into the data-port. [22:17] <@BradGM> **Mira and Alaric, you spot a clock on the wall; the time shows 5+1:46** [22:17] <@BradGM> ((What do you want to know Grendel?)) [22:18] <@BradGM> ((or what are you looking for?)) [22:18] * +Lazerus_Grim turns after coming up alongside Grendel, watching the crowd and looking for the other two members of their makeshift group [22:18] <+Grendel`> ((where are we, any sign of who brought us here for right now)) [22:18] * +Mira_Atella notes the time on the clock, but doesn't make much of it at this point. [22:20] <+Alaric> ((does the clock mean anything to me?)) [22:20] <+Alaric> (( er time)) [22:20] <@BradGM> **You can see that you are in Hive Hoolok, in RailTown; You are on 'top' of the Underhive, right below Hive City. As to who brought you here, roll inquiry.** [22:20] * +Alaric notes the time as well as the signs and numbers he can see.

 * [20:18] <@BradGM> ...cont..A lone neon light hangs from the ceiling. At the far end, encrusted in the wall are a sink/toilet/shower unit. Yourself are in one of the 2 bunk beds in the room with 3 other people, dressed the same.**
 * [20:25] * +Mira_Atella lets her gaze drift up, looking in each corner for a camera or something similar.**
 * [20:26] <@BradGM>** There is..no cameras.
 * [20:26] * +Lazerus_Grim suddenly look worried, checking his pockets and all around his cot. He seems not to find what he was looking for**
 * [20:26] * +Alaric taps along the walls, muttering. "I don't suppose you folks know what is going on, do you?"**
 * [20:27] * +Grendel looks for a lock, ignoring the others for now**
 * [20:27] * +Mira_Atella shakes her head.**
 * [20:27] <+Mira_Atella> (( I've seen this movie, it ends badly heh ))**
 * [20:27] * +Lazerus_Grim lists up a card he finds, examining both sides**
 * [20:28] <@BradGM>** The door is unlocked; in fact, there's no lock at all, just a single length of curved pipe jammed in the frame
 * [20:29] <+Alaric> ((a card?))**
 * [20:29] * +Lazerus_Grim stands, testing his motor skills. He takes a few steps forward and then backward. Satisfied, he approaches the door.**
 * [20:30] * +Grendel studies the door for a moment, before trying to free the pipe.**
 * [20:30] * +Lazerus_Grim "Perhaps this has something to do with it." He hands the card to Grendel. It is an access keycard, on one side is a faded Aquila, and on the other side there is '6-9 Galleria.'**
 * [20:31] <@BradGM>** The pipe is removed easily. The door hangs in the balance of the frame.
 * [20:32] * +Alaric eyes the card curiously a moment. "Interesting." He moves to stand to one side of the door.**
 * [20:32] * +Mira_Atella stands, feeling better, and watches the others.**
 * [20:34] <+Lazerus_Grim> 1d10+5**
 * [20:34] <+DiceServitor> Lazerus_Grim rolls 1D10+5: 9 +5 = 14**
 * [20:34] * +Grendel pushes open the door, annoyed with the lack of respect paid to the machinery. Someone should've been maintaining the door better.**
 * [20:35] <+Lazerus_Grim> 1d10+5**
 * [20:35] <+DiceServitor> Lazerus_Grim rolls 1D10+5: 8 +5 = 13**
 * [20:36] * +Lazerus_Grim obviously distracted says, "I agree"**
 * [20:38] <+Alaric> ((I agree?))**
 * [20:38] <+Alaric> ((am I missing something?))**
 * [20:38] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((i agree that someone should have been maintaining the door better))**
 * [20:38] * +Mira_Atella glances at the stranger talking to himself briefly before turning her attention back to the door.**
 * [20:38] <@BradGM>** The other, smaller room is 3mx3mx3m with a L-shaped metallic booth and table, dulled with age directly to your right. The left wall made of patchworks of metal plates in diffrent state of decay.cont..
 * [20:39] <+Grendel> ((oh no. Anything I say will be said in quotes. That was to himself :) ))**
 * [20:40] * +Alaric looks the room over slowly as he enters the room.**
 * [20:41] * +Lazerus_Grim follows the man into the room**
 * [20:41] <+Alaric> ((looking for clues, anything out of place, etc))**
 * [20:42] * +Mira_Atella stays in the doorway, leaning and looking at the room carefully.**
 * [20:42] <@BradGM>** The food conserver unit closed and seems to be working
 * [20:42] <+Alaric> "Odd. Obviously we are not wished to be dead. Nor is this a normal kidnapping," he muses.**
 * [20:42] <@BradGM> ((picture a mini fridge))**
 * [20:43] * +Lazerus_Grim starving, approaches the food conserver**
 * [20:43] * +Mira_Atella nods at Alaric's comment, "We'd never have woken up if their intention was to harm us."**
 * [20:43] * +Lazerus_Grim pulls it open**
 * [20:44] * +Alaric doesn't concern himself with eating just yet, he continues to look around and through the openings and at any doors.**
 * [20:44] * +Grendel makes an annoyed sound through his respirator unit. "Someone risks the wrath of the Mechanicus."**
 * [20:45] * +Lazerus_Grim doesn't seem concerned as he looks for food**
 * [20:45] <@BradGM>** There is good food in the unit; sliced smoked grox, some piece of bread and even half a dozen corps scratch rations.
 * [20:46] <+Grendel> ((brb))**
 * [20:47] <@BradGM>** You can sounds across the door, and see people exiting other small place like yours; humans, most wearing factorium suits uniforms.
 * [20:49] * +Alaric nods to the opening. "It seems we are not alone here."**
 * [20:49] <@BradGM> ((*you can hear sounds))**
 * [20:50] <+Alaric> "There are quite a few others dressed similar to us. Interesting."**
 * [20:51] <@BradGM>** Yes, lots are wearing coats and other protective clothing, like ponchos or parkas.
 * [20:51] * +Alaric watches a moment, seeing if they are heading in one direction or seem lost/new.**
 * [20:51] * +Mira_Atella makes her way over to the other door and tests to see if it's locked.**
 * [20:51] * +Lazerus_Grim pulls out the smoked grox, whips out his knife and cuts himself a piece. "Anyone else?"**
 * [20:51] <@BradGM> ((You can roll knowledge (ad mec.) since Grendel is BRB.))**
 * [20:53] <+Lazerus_Grim> !perc 43**
 * [20:53] <+DiceServitor> Lazerus_Grim rolls [ 43% (or Lower) : 04 85%, Fail ]**

 * [20:54] <+Lazerus_Grim> Forbiden Lore (Adeptus Mechanicus)**
 * [20:55] <+Alaric> ((Ah!))**
 * [20:55] <+Alaric> ((still watching/looking as above))**
 * [20:56] <@BradGM>** The sturdy, thick metal door is locked. But a panel is beside on the near wall.
 * [20:56] * +Mira_Atella looks around for who had the key last, "Who's up?"**
 * [20:56] <+Alaric> ((where are the other people going? does it seem like they are going somewhere specific or seem lost?))**
 * [20:56] * +Lazerus_Grim takes it that no one else wants any grox, slices himself another piece and puts it back in the food conserver. He cleans his blade.**
 * [20:57] * +Grendel glances around, frowning.**
 * [20:57] <+Grendel> ((sorry about that))**
 * [20:57] * +Lazerus_Grim brings the card to Mira**
 * [20:57] <+Alaric> ((np))**
 * [20:58] <+Mira_Atella> (( would we actually have our knives yet? I can't imagine they'd give a bunch of strangers knives and lock them in a room together heh ))**
 * [20:58] <@BradGM> ((They are going left. Some have small cases made of metal, maybe a long by 5inch by 10inch**))

 * [21:46] * +Grendel` moves towards them, approaching slowly.**
 * [21:46] * +Lazerus_Grim looking at the others wondering whether he should back up the techie, he follows from a distance**
 * [21:46] * +Mira_Atella watches as Grendel goes off towards the armed guards. "This should be entertaining."**
 * [21:47] * +Alaric follows the crowd, trying to ascertain any bit of information he can, just listening and observing for now.**
