flip it over and turn it around so the drawer is on the solid side. then both sit on it and get bane to try as he is much lighter. if bane can't then have jason sit on it and you cross.

hug back first though.

I hug Jason back briefly before suggesting the table flip, we're both kind of awkward about this...
This is kind of a big deal, neither of us could remember a thing from before, well, that tube we woke up in.
He remembered it too, I think.

Either way, like this the weight should be far better devided, I think we're good.

>>202702
This is good. A first step toward remembering everything.
Have him test the liquid still in the tank with a bit of cloth.

"Jason, try a piece of cloth first, just to be sure" I say, and with a nod he rips off a bit of some of the clothes he's carrying.
"I don't think the acid is reacting to it" says Jason, dangling the cloth in the now seemingly harmless acid.

I think we're both still a little emberrased, I can tell he remembers too..

>>203655
I guess it's safe.

Say that you remembered something new; ask him if he did too.

Hm, hopefully safe now.

It's all water diluted now, right? Ask if he can see what the objects are better now.

If he does dip his hand in, run it under the water from the pipe for a lot longer than you think necessary. Acid has this nasty tendancy to not start burning until like 10 minutes after you stick your hand in it, so it's important to make sure it's all cleaned off, even if diluted.

Jason checks the liquid, and reaches for the contents of the tank.
He informs you there are 2 items in here, one of them seems to be a case of some sorts, the other a mouth piece.

Oppon closer inspection, Jason concludes this must be a kit used for maintance or repairs.

That's really handy. Call him back and hug him as a reward.

no wait, there is more stuff. have him slide it over to you while he grabs the other thing. then he comes back and hugs.

You now have clean water. Use the toothbrush to clean off the bloody ID.

Oh, almost forgot: Before you get it bloody, brush your teeth for reals. This may be your only chance. Flash Jason a beautiful smile. Recall that he's had that brush in his mouth before.

...Don't judge me.

I wonder if we can use that repair kit to fix something?

Uhhh... refresh my memory. What's broken that we can get to?

Jason further inspects the tank, all that's left in it, other than the water, is part of the cloth we used to see if it was acid.
He hops on back off the table and I flash my pearly whites at him.
Jason looks impressed.

I then give him a well deserved hug for his bravery, after a few seconds I check out the I.D.
It looks like it belonged to a Dr. Andrew, the "ADMIN" on the I.D. looks like it was later put on by permanent marker.

>>223260
Next door there seem to be some computers that need to be fixed.
I'm sure Cid will better know what to do this with.
We inventory the repair kit.

>>223337
Ask Jason to peek through the hole into the room below, if possible.

Then go left and meet up with Cid.

He might want to rinse his hands and the mouthpiece while he's at it...

"maybe you should clean off the mouthpiece, and your hands." I suggest
>"good thinking"
Jason agrees as he cleans off his hands and the mouthpiece.
"What's down there?" I ask, when he finishes.

Jason has a peek below, looking around he replies "It looks like a janitor's closet or something."

A ladder! How convenient. Maybe we can put off going through the hazardous area for a little while.

Hang down and drop then set up the ladder for easy access. Try getting the door open.

I pop in to have a look myself.
"Is that ladder long enough to reach this hole?" I ask, Jason raises and eyebrow at my enthusiasm to see whats in the room, but informs me that "That ladder isn't gonna be long enough if you're thinking of going down."
"It's your call, go down into the 'mysterious' janitor's closet, or work on fixing that crazy AI up here. That is to say, if Cid is will actually show up."

Drat, it looked long enough so that you could stand at the top and grab the edge of the hole.

Okay let's stay up top and try to fix the AI.

>>248465
dont go down, it seems to be well locked and quite difficult to climb up.

With a ladder, it shouldn't be THAT hard to find stuff to stack under it to be able to reach the hole again. Just flipping that one cart upside down might even be enough. If you're not sure, look around for other stable stuff to toss down before you head down.

"'THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" Bane shouts, just as we walk in.
Cid is here, and he's being shouted at by Bane;"Why are you even alive?!"

exclaim that you will worry about that later. for now you found some repair supplies.

>>249716
Stand between Cid and Bane to prevent any escalation. Tell them about the repair kit.

>>249716
This can all be settled by releasing some tension, and you have three readily usable holes, Alice!

Actually don't do that. But do try to find out what Bane is so mad about.

I give Jason a quick nudge, and in acknowledgement we jump between the Bane and Cid.
"What's going on here?" I ask
Bane tells me: "He's one of THEM!"
Jason, meanwhile, asks Cid: "What is he on about?"
Cid just shrugs.

>>249805
Them who? We found him locked up in a cell! He's been starved as an experiment.

tell bane that you will put cid on probation, but wont kick him out just because he says to.

>>249805
Might wanna mention that Cid was listed in those patient files you found a while back. might help.

""Them" who?" I question Bane, to which he replies: "The sods who ran all the experiments, the sick sadists that tore open my body just t' see if I could survive i'!"
"We found Cid in a dark chamber, he was starving" says Jason, I fill in: "He was in the patient records, he was locked up to starve forever. He's been in there so long he can't remember anything else." Cid nods: "You look familiar, though..."

trust in Bane, we know he's our friend, he helped save us from Pete, Cid we don't know about and he seems really smart and computer savy to just be some random patient

regardless, you need all the help you can get right now.

>>249893
Bane helped us a lot, so tell him you trust him and you are sure he is just concerned about the safety of the group.

But also tell Bane that Cid is not really a danger in his current state. Tell him, if it makes him happy, he can have an eye on Cid and raise alarm as soon as he thinks something suspicious is up.
But until then, the chances of survival for anybody are higher the more help you get.

"Bane, Cid helped me help you when you were stuck in the detention block place, he's on our side."I say, taking a pause for a moment.

"But I trust you, you're our friend, and you've helped us fight off Pete. If it makes you happy, you can keep and eye on him in case he does anything suspicious."
"That said, Cid is really computer savvy, and we need his help."

Bane folds his arms, "foine, yer in charge, but if 'e tries anythin' he's a dead man."
Cid nods, "I guess that's settled then. The AI mainframe, or at least part of it, should be through this north door."
He looks at the doorway, and informs us that "The light of that alarm is on, so we'll need gas masks, there should be other ways into the room, but this is the fastest."

Jason summerises: "So we can either go through a gas chamber or find another way to the AI."
I fill in, "is the hardware in this room of any use?"

check that panel in the middle of the room.

"Can you take a look at this panel?" I ask Cid, he tells me "probbably, with some time. But this kit is missing some tools and parts."

"Can you fix it now?" asks Jason.
"Yeah, there's enough spare wire in here to fix it. This looks like it's a server or a power supply of sorts. It could restore the power to parts of the facility."
"The question is, do we -want- to fix it?"

It's possible this restores the power of the facility, so it would also restore access to the AI.
We could use the oxyghen tanks and get 2 of us through the next chamber. Or we could find a way around.

check the vent higher on the wall.

well if he doesnt have how to find it out, have him repair it.

was there something specific not powered or functional? should we ask momdad for answers?

"Momdad?" I ask, when a voice is heard almost instantly: "Yes, dear?"

I ask our electronic 'parent': "Is there anything specificly offline?"
"I am functioning at 45% capacity, lights in some regions of the facility are offline, some computer terminals are disconnected, power to the exit door is offline, I can't tell you about the other pieces of equipment, those are not for you to know about" proclaims the male voice of Momad.

>>250962
FUCK YOU, YOU AREN'T MY REAL DAD


But actually just thank momdad I guess. May as well stay civil before we kill it.

. . . is it just me or does that sign look like a BEWARE OF CID sign

>>250962
that was quite unspecific. ask momdad about this panel in particular.

we should problaby ask what is in the gas chamber, and if it can be "emptied"

>>250963
That's a sign with a gasmask on it, the border around it is lit up. I guess it looks like Cid because it kind of follows the curves of a skull. And, well, Cid is skin over bone.

"Thank you dad. Can you tell me about this panel in particular?" I ask our digital friend, it replies: "This panel is one of many points through which I'm able to control the facility. If you treated the 'wound' I should have access to more of the facility."
Cid explains that by that it means that "If we fix it it restores control, meaning it has access to more systems. Doors, ventilation, traps, security, etc."
"Could you use the ventilation system to remove the gas from this gas chamber?" I ask; "That isn't a gas chamber, silly, that's a chamber that happends to be flooded with gas. But yes, I could do that."

how evasively passive agressive!

would momdad help you pass to the other side?

also what is in the other side?

"Could you help us pass to the other side? Actually, what's on the other side?"
"I am on the other side, dear. And unless you have a security card, you're not allowed in."

I thought we had one of those?

re-examine inventory to make sure you didn't lose it.

well, momdad is still butthurt about its privacy.

ask it if it needs attention of some sort, and where is the current workers of the building.

i just noticed we could ask momdad to depower the panel while we do a quick fix job. hoping it can also lead to some more answers about the place.

i forgot, what are your long term goals?
