Knee bone is connected to... thigh bone. Femur bone's connected to the hip bone. Hip bone's connected to the spine bone, or someone else's hip bone if you're not a big nerd that sits around studying while everyone else goes home and stare at diagrams of bile ducts.

It's late and I'm burning out. Time to go home.

Any lock-ups or checks last person out needs to do?

Yeah, you've been here for a while, clearly. Make sure you don't forget any of your stuff; this place would probably be a pain in the ass to turn around and come back to when you're halfway home.

What's that red light? Is it supposed to blink?

Don't forget to save and to log out on the computer. Don't want all your work to be lost.

Hm... Nothing is blinking out here. Looks like they're all burning solid.

Maybe somebody is running some weird late night experiment and causing a power drain or something?

Where are you, anyway? And who are you?

what's up with the red mood lighting?

>Where are you, anyway? And who are you?

I'm at the university campus at the Wosa research facility which is kind of haphazardly shoved into different lab complexes, because they didn't plan on needing any schools up here. But, you cram a bunch of scientists in a limited space with nothing to do but monitor experiments and "socialize", you end up with a population boom and your research base turns into a research small city after a few decades.

And I am Keimi Salo, medical student and super genius, so I'm eccentric instead of crazy for talking to myself in the dark and it's definitely not to distract myself because I'm creeped out.


>what's up with the red mood lighting?

Red has the shortest photonic wavelength and therefore requires the least energy to produce, so they have red lights for after hours to conserve power? Either that or it's just to make everything scarier. I don't know.

>Red has the shortest photonic wavelength and therefore requires the least energy to produce, so they have red lights for after hours to conserve power?

Well it sounds like a better way to conserver power then having sensor based lights. So why you still here after hours then?

>>947518

Cute shirt!

I'd vote high non-reactive visibility, without the same wash-out effect you get with sodium lighting (which itself is often more temperamental about thermal constraints), but that's just me.

But if it's normal, guess we're here TOO late.

Or shit just went real wrong and the rest of the complex just failed over to emergency power.

>>947518
Isn't it time for you to head home right now? Aren't your parents worried about you being out of the house this late?

This isn't one of those places that locks you inside because you staid inside to late, rihgt?
I mean, you are not lockd in, right?

Any snacks you can pick up along the way? Gotta reward yourself for studying so hard, right?

cute EVERYTHING

Alright, first thing you need to do is find supplies. Look for a map or writing utensils, this complex looks like it's going to get labyrinthian.

Red actually has a longer wavelength. However, the photons DO carry less energy. Dunno whether or not they're more energy efficient. I hear they use red lights for dark places because it disrupts your night vision less. Dunno if that's why they used it for the backup lighting or what.

Be on the lookout for monsters. Hope you're not locked in. Try to get out quick, for all the good it will do.

I'm not a light bulb scientist but I think it's less important knowing what the reason they're there is, when we should be wondering why they're on. So yeah, consider whatever mistake, power overuse, or disaster happened to cause the backup lights to come on while you hurry to leave. Not because you're scared, you're just eccentric and have better places to be.

Don’t know about them wavelengths, but red light has a strange ability to be very dim and yet produce high visibility.

But it’s not super important. It might seem creepy, the reality though is that they’re just the same halls you must’ve walked a thousand times. Just take your regular route out, and get some sleep for god sakes! Six hours minimum.

Well, if all's normal, then so's our course of action; which way to the exit that puts us closest to our dorm?

>>947518
Oh boy it's a university in a science lab in a science city, yeah that late-hours experiment is sounding pretty plausible.

Be sure to pester someone from admin about not at least having a notice up about this I mean come on. Or if it's to test people in this kind of situation right now pester them for the results. Might as well seeing as you participated.

It's not scary. It's just kinda at the right level of eerie silence to get a really good tingle up my spine.
I thought I heard something for a moment there, but it's probably nothing.

>Red actually has a longer wavelength.
Okay, fine. I'm mixing it up because shorter usually means less of something, but all this physics is really helping me forget all the biology I was studying all night. My knowledge of lymphatic systems has been replaced with how light wiggles fast.


>find supplies. Look for a map or writing utensils, this complex looks like it's going to get labyrinthian.

I'm just going to get my coat and go home. I wouldn't need a map unless I ended up in some restricted area that I've never been to before, and what are the odds of that?

Who knows? Yeah, it seems unlikely, and if we do end up there due to plot contrivance, then it's inevitable; therefore, it either will or won't happen, so let's proceed with the comfort that what will happen was always going to happen. Hey, that determinism shpiel looks like a transition to philosophy on the mind. Have you always been this scatterbrained in spite of your high IQ?

> and what are the odds of that?
Never say never.
Alright, where is your stuff, let's go and get it.

so how often do you stay late?

EEEEEE YOU'RE ADORABLE *cough**cough* Yeah, definitely nothing will happen. Carry on.

Make sure you have your wallet. Maybe check and make sure if you have everything in it too, like your student id... (so we can see what your name is)

That tingle up your spine is your spectral essence aligning. Science at it until you derive a unifying theorem of magic..

>>947589
turning it back to the lymphatic system... how carcinogenic would you say the red light is?

and diverting even further, you think the red light district would be a good idea after we get out of here? gotta connect those hip bones, after all~!

Exponentially higher now, but 0² is still zero so you're good. Get your stuff and get home and get some sleep.

>>947589
They used red because they're cheap to produce. The marginal relative gain in efficiency is negligible compared to the low sensitivity eyes have to it. If they wanted to be extremely power efficient they would install green LEDs, although the efficiency loss from tricolor lighting that mostly simulates white light would be very low. Full spectrum LEDs would be a bit more of a hit, but would provide the most effective lighting overall.

Anyway, where exactly is your coat, relative to your current position?

Kyaa~!

Probably just a janitor. But, ya know, you could run just in case it isn't.

Just relax, even if you were in a dangerous situation, which you likely aren't, the most important thing you can do is to remain calm, and think rationally.

>>947873
Ask who it is.

Stop. quietly move away and towards cover so you won't be visible from the corridor. It is, of course, just a night-shifter or someone else who stayed late, but violent robberies do happen, so caution isn't pointless. And now would be a terrible time to wonder if you would run faster on all-fours.

Okay, remain calm, but get your coat and get out of here, this place is fucking creepy at night.

If you encounter any jumpscares... try blowing on them. Also bugspray noises, but that might make them angry, it wouldn't be as conditioned. Maybe try being very still while throwing something hard at something that should have a nice vibrancy, like a radiator or window.

Hard to find anything that makes a klink that's actually threatening. A mop fell over, it's no big deal.

it's like stop, drop, and roll like they till you to do while on fire but instead you drop to the ground to get jumped on by whatever the hell that is, roll away from it to get distance, then run like hell away from it.

dodge! don't get stabbed

first off don't bother trying to run, it like almost every other vertebrate will be faster than a biped.

second you are unarmed so direct confrontation is ill advised. i would recommend disengaging asap, getting behind a door and finding a weapon preferably something with reach( broken chair leg, mop handle or similar).

if there is no such door or weapon in the vicinity run to the nearest corner and run in place so sounds like you are still moving and kick it as hard as you can when it turns the corner.

>>948228
Slap it and dodge!
You just need to redirect its path enough for it to not stab you.

You have the range advantage, and most predators will back off if their prey is too tough.

The creature seems to be going straight for your head so duck. When the creature is above your head and calling upon the gods wrestling, grab it and suplex it into the ground behind you.

Stomp it. Hopefully it isn't carrying babies that will crawl out of its body. Yeesh.

You're bigger than it, you've shown you can bat it around, it probably is a lot less eager to get you now. It's lost its surprise attack so just get real big and try scaring it away.

On the off chance it doesn't act like an animal and instead attacks you again anyway, it's time to RUN.

>why is there what looks like a military guy at your school anyways?

This place is a big government research facility, they have a bunch of military wandering around, looking at things, nodding at clipboards, guarding the place. It's not completely out of place for some random soldier guy to pop up.

I try to introduce myself and ask who he is, but it comes out pretty mushy. I bet if I had three times the body mass I do, I wouldn't feel so crappy, since this guy seems fine.

Or just overturn the table and put it against any floor area grates. If there are grates higher up, use table to gain access to them, then secure with other material around the room.

That's silly, magic doesn't exist. It's mental manipulation of physical energies in order to shift aspects of reality. It's a purely scientific technique and now I'm tired from sciencing so hard.

Better than dragging me into danger to get caught in the crossfire, but I guess it's not as fun for me.
If I was wandering around in danger, I might at least find out what's going on or maybe I could make a break for home so I could sleep in my bed.
Or I stay here and stay maybe relatively safe.

So you are a psychic? Or have telekinetic abilities? I know you are tired, but please, do explain what you just did. I am not familiar with that.
Also how old are you again?
Another interesting question, is this just you talking to yourself or what?

If you're going to pass out on the table, at least move the table away from the window so no creatures break through the window and jump on you catching you by surprise while you're vulnerable. Going farther away from the window and passing out is a better idea, that way if any creatures jump through the window, you'll be farther away enough to react in time.

She probably has some sort of tech implanted in her head that allows for those sorts of manipulations. Like some sort of device that would manipulate and/or strengthen the effects of the quantum mind hypotheses (which one could assume have been proven to be true in this reality) to cause, in this case, the area that was injured to be replaced with an alternate version that never suffered said injury. Thus, she really isn't actually healing an injury, she is just making it so she never got hurt to begin with.

>>960202
Dont this mean some random verson got the wound and that random wounds can happen at ay timr

>>960204
Not necessarily. I mean, you would think so, but it is more like copying the atoms into the right position, as this works on an atomic level. The atoms are all entangled together with other possible versions (or just other possibilities since nobody really knows if there are alternate realities), so it just has each corresponding atom instantly move to the correct spot. There are no atoms truly missing because even if her arm was chopped off, the atoms would still exist.

--
Sidenote: If they have this sort of capability of controlling how the brain affects reality on a quantum level, it should be possible for someone to quantum tunnel themselves through impenetrable surfaces. While electrons quantum tunnel fairly frequently, it is incredibly rare for entire atoms to tunnel. Pair that with the number of atoms in the body and the odds of quantum tunneling one's entire being (or even a readily measurable portion of it) would be unfathomably small, but not zero. Given the tech is able to assist the brain in causing these sorts of quantum events in a controlled way, it should be able to exploit that non-zero chance and let someone go straight through solid objects. (ofc these technologies may also be heavily controlled so the version we potentially have may not have this kind of functionality).

Regardless of whether we plan to hunker down here or make a break for it, taking stock of what’s we’ve got in this room would be prudent.

See if there's anything useful in here in case of further spider thing outbreaks.

>tech implanted in her head
>effects of the quantum mind hypotheses
What? No. That is wholly incorrect in every way I can think of.
Arca techniques are just something living things can do.
Valdrans (that's what I am), Aaloxi and Zieh can all use it. Uros can't because they're mechanical, but they use technology to create similar effects. Even some animals can do things, but it's straining for the user, so you can't just do anything you want.

But I might as well stop rambling. Every race that's even a little bit advanced knows all about this stuff.

>If you're going to pass out on the table, at least move the table away from the window so no creatures break through the window and jump on you catching you by surprise while you're vulnerable.

What are the odds that the bug thing wasn't just a one off occurrence? It's not like hordes of monsters are going to start flooding out of this remote, arctic research facility.
Hmm...

>Get a weapon
There's not a lot useful here. It's a pretty sterile. Just tables, shelves and computer terminals. Maybe I'm just worrying too much.

>>961892
Stare at the monster in the window to see if it smashes it.

For mantis one doesn't exclude the other.

>>961894
A bit late for the light, but hiding is a good idea.

How many exits does this room have? Star planing an escape rout that put as much furniture between you and this creature as possible.

Maybe we're in luck. Maybe it's just one of the species she mentioned.

Turn around to see if that's the case, girl!

>Maybe I'm just worrying too much.
Maybe, you could try asking the guy outside the window what he thinks.

>>961892
Is that silhouette outside an Aaloxi or a Zieh?

Are all Veldrans tiny?

Well you better think fast because there anything outside. Unless is another friendly race. Block the entrance.

Try to reduce the obviousness of your presence in the room. That means stop mooning the nightmare mantis.

Oh, geez. What is that? I can't reach the lights. Hiding seems more important. This one looks way worse than that hoppy thing.

>Maybe it's just one of the species she mentioned

Nnnnnope! That's not even a little bit anything I've seen before.

>Are all Veldrans tiny?

I'm not tiny! I'm making efficient use of space, like the space under this table until that thing goes away!

There's two doors out of here, but they're both adjacent to the window wall.
Should I stay here or make a dash to find the lieutenant, or just run for home and try to forget any of this happened?

I wish there something to whack it with, but this thing is way more dangerous looking, so it probably wouldn't help much anyway. I would still definitely feel better if I had something to swing around, though.

>>962130
Three eyes tells me that it relies on sight or smell (note the long and currently extended tongue).

You could blind it by enveloping its head in your sweater, maybe. Or you could be lucky and it's mostly deaf, but in predators that's entirely unlikely.

Try to communicate with this one, if only to distract it from security forces. Tap the glass with a poking stick and see if you can get reactions.

>>962130
‘s also got red eyes. Could be light sensitive, so if you’ve got any sources of bright flashing lights you might be able to blind it in a pinch.

Stay, and ponder your mortality. But stay near a door so if it smashes through into the room you can just, well, leave.

>>962130
No offense but you do not appear to have the upper body strength to hurt that thing by swinging something at it.

Could you manipulate one of the table legs into something pointy you could stab it with?

>>962130
You could just stay put in this room. I mean, it can't get to you, right?
Wait to see what it does. Maybe look around a little better for a weapon of some kind. Could you break off a table leg maybe?

If it starts to break in, then you should make a dash for the lieutenant.

It appear you've being spotted.

You could wait for this creature to enter the room and run away through the other door. Since currently this thing doesn't seem familiar with the concept of doors you may need to wait for it to figure something out or break the glass.

Scary as it looks, it's not explicitly hostile (yet). Stay hid until that status changes.

well solder boy went deeper into the building where more of these things could be so not to keen at trying to find him, home is sounding rather nice though... you do have a way to get home other then walking right? Not sure if these guys are stuck in just the build or not so I don't want to walk home with the possibility of one of these things jumping out of a bush or something.

Either way I say hide under table and hope it goes away as I don't think you can beat it and right now their is a wall and glass between you and it which is better then nothing. If it does try to get in though try to hug the wall neat the window and hope it can't see you and head to a door to book it should it actually brake in.

Maybe we can wait and see what it does, and react to its actions? I don't see much point on pacinking right now.

Fear: Resisted
I disagree pretty vehemently at the moment, but I will try to stay calm to deal with the MURDER MONSTER BURSTING THROUGH THE WINDOW AND WHY WON'T THIS LEG COME OFF!?

NNH! GOT IT!
Item Obtained: Table Leg

WHAT NOW!?

move towards a door, wait for creature to get into room, then bail through the door so it has to waste time getting back out of the room giving you a bit of a head start to get away from it. Make sure you shut the door behind you when you leave otherwise it kinda defeats the point.

>>962398
I agree with this. We need to lose the thing.
>Fear: Resisted
God damn girl! Keep it wp!

Congratulation on your strength feature. I didn't expect you would be capable of doing something like this.

You got a table leg now use it. Hit the pincers that got past the glass to see if they can be damaged. We can probable expect it's weapons to be more resistant than the rest of the body, but if you can't even dent them this approach may not be be the wiser.
Bonus point if you manage to bend one of the blades, getting the monster stuck.

>>962397
Let's get something out of the way: You're compact, and that's a blunt weapon. It's kinda long, compared to your body, but you're not going to get much leverage, which is paramount. Thus, we're either going to need to surprise it and smack it in an ideal location, or you're need to get a lot of leverage some other way - such as with the help of gravity or the like.

We can't really do either. Thus, our best option is to hide in a defensible location. Considering the layout of the room, that means your best option is escape. If the door is locked (it might be, soldier boy might have done so to keep things out) then your best way out is the way the monster is coming in.

Lead it on a merry chase around the room and then get out through the window if the door is locked.

>>962397
Start hitting its blades.

That thing looks like a praying mantis, which seems extremely good at doing what it is designed to, but not very versatile. I strenuously advocate not fighting it, if you have the choice. In preparation for the worst, can you use your magic on that table-leg to form some prongs so that you can grip the creature's limbs and twist them? And one elongated stabbing spike?

Also note that critters hate sticking their head through a hole when something is waiting to jump them as soon as their head is stuck. If you can't think of anything better to do, just stand beside the hole in a readied pose so it knows that it'll get shanked when it is half-way through. Hopefully private Deadmeat from earlier told someone about you so you can just wait half an hour for rescue while the thing endlessly reconsiders its plan of jumping into an ambush.

As much as I'd like to get the drop on this thing, I'm getting out of here! It's coming through and I don't think a table leg is going to do much damage. It's kind of light and made of thin metal.

I'm still holding onto it, though. I run for the door, just before that thing smashes through and starts coming in.
The doors are automatic and I can't lock them from here, but hopefully this thing isn't smart enough to figure it out for a while, so I can get away.

I just need to decide where I want to get away to.
I can run to the administrative offices, which might have somebody there, but probably not. The laboratory complex is usually secured entry, but given the monsters running around, I'm thinking it's probably not. It's obviously the most dangerous move, but there might be soldiers and scientists that know what's going on.
Unless the giant government lab built in the middle of nowhere isn't the source of the monsters, then it will be super safe there.

Or I can just run for the door and get out of here, go home and try to forget this ever happened. It kind of feels like running away from a problem, but this is a problem that might be smart to run away from as fast as possible.

well we know that these things are in the build but we don't know if they CAME from in the building. I mean if this place is in the middle of nowhere and these things came from outside then leave would probably be a very bad idea. Do the offices have windows? because that might be a good way to figure out if these things are outside or not before risking just going outside and hoping you don't run into anything else.

So offices I guess... If nothing else you hopefully know this building better then the monsters so hopefully you can lose this thing before doubling back if we later decide to risk going outside.

If they've broken out of the lab, that's where they're not going to be. Also your best bet at finding out they're deathly allergic to water or country music or the common cold or something.

You need more information before deciding where you want to go to end up not eaten, and you'd know better than us where to get that critical info than us.

What you mean running away from a problem? Is your responsibility to fix this situation? Do you think you would be able to? Beyond the threat to your life this isn't your problem.
Go find your family and do what you can to guaranty their survival and your.

For the origin speculation, it's reasonable to assume the appearance of monsters in a government research facility isn't a coincidence.
If they were grown in a lab it doesn't surprise me if the government put all their eggs in the same basket by hiding their dangerous monster engineering in the middle of a research center, but a more reasonable approach would be to put their lab in a separate building far enough that no one notice but close enough to make trips for supplies. The same apply to for a teleportation or portal situation unless they appear randomly anywhere. Excluding the unpredictable we can expect their origin being either inside or outside. We will have to observe where the monster concentrate in greater numbers.

Maybe you could get to the mess hall and distract it with a larger source of meat, like a chicken nugget, or a baked potato.

Otherwise, try to get some basics, like a knife, bag, water, and rope, then head towards the lab. It should be either crawling with the things, in which case give up, or not, in which case either they left and there might be equipment with which to contain them, or they came from outside, in which case you need to find some sort of experimental bioarmour with which to single-handedly save all life on the planet in a series of bizarrely linear combat missions.

I doubt that the front door is open. They can't just leave all this things run around in the open, it would be chaos.
Where did the guard guy go, you should go with him.

Your just a civilian. You can't fight these monsters, the guards are doing that. Lets just go home and forget about all this. It is not your problem to deal with.

>>962681
>Admin

Administrative offices tend to have a lot of places to hide, for one thing, and a lot of information for another. As a third point, it's probably not the center of this disaster, one doesn't summon demons through bad TPS reports, last I checked.

To the lab, because you are brave/reckless and if there are containment efforts ongoing that's where they'll be. Or have been. Your healing SCIENCE might even be useful in rescuing survivors, since some of these monsters seem to drug their victims. Or there could be guns 'n stuff you could loot off of bodies there.

And at least this monster didn't have blood on its blades or anything! That's good, in that it indicates it hasn't fought anyone yet.

>>962681
Admin offices. If they're roaming the halls then its possible some emergency measure has sealed the building. They may be attempting to leave too, if they have any sense of which way is out, you'll only run into more of them that way.

>>962681
You said your home was a part of this facility, right? What makes you think your home would be safe? These monsters could easily come into your home! Especially the ones that crawl through the vents!

Head to the admin offices!

>not your problem to deal with
>Go find your family

I really can't do much, so I think leaving is best. I'd just feel bad if somebody working late on paperwork gets shredded to meat chunks because I didn't knock of their door to warn them about monsters.
On the other hand, getting shredded to meat myself is going to make me feel even worse and I don't know if anyone is here anyway.

And the door is locked down.

You know, I can't help but think that if they were this responsive with containing the monsters in the first place, none of this would be an issue.
I'm not mad. I'm just disappointed...


>we don't know if they CAME from in the building
I really hope they came from inside. Nothing I've seen looks like any wildlife I've ever heard of, from any planet I've heard of. It would mean some kind of extra-solar alien invasion and would be a way bigger problem than some crazy experiment running wild.

>Where did the guard guy go, you should go with him
He had a gun. I think I'd like to be where the gun is, but he was kind of vague about where he was going. Probably towards the lab complex. All the important stuff is there.

Well, anyway, as i said, the doors are closed, so we need to find the code to open them. Most probably the guard has it, so we should look for him. Look in the general area to where he went. And avoid the things things running around here. Try to be sneaky, don't make too much noise.

>>962828

Hit the keypad with the table leg. If movies taught me anything, it's that hitting the control panel or shooting it automatically locks/unlocks doors.

>>962828
Go 2 lab.

>>962831
Yes. Off 2 Lab!

>It would mean some kind of extra-solar alien invasion and would be a way bigger problem than some crazy experiment running wild.
Well you know what they say? Hope for the best!

The people in admin are either sealed in a monster free zone, or sealed in a sardine can, either way there is little point in trying to help them, so travel towards the labs and hope to find an access code to get in here out there. Unless you can defeat the security by thinking at it?

Rub yourself against the door; the alien imitator might catch your scent and bust in for you. Then you can utilize the chemicals inside before it realize it just gave you bug spray.

>>962828
Hell.. knock on the door. Maybe someone's stationed outside. Just make it an obviously-a-person knock and not an animal-clawing-at-the-door knock.

As much as movie logic would be nice right now, bending up my crappy weapon and breaking the thing that unlocks doors out of here doesn't seem like the best course of action.

>knock
No response. I don't know if anyone out there would help me, but if there was any chance someone might pop the door open and let me go on my way, I have to take it.

Since I'm at the entry way anyway, it's a short sneak to get my coat, which might protect me a little bit against monster pointy bits and has my student ID which will give me access to... basically nothing. At least I feel much more cozy now, until I start overheating anyway.
It will also be nice to have if I do find away out, since it's about 21 degrees Kem outside (-60 celcius).

>Go to the lab
I'd rather not, but it's the best I've got to go on for now and if I can find that soldier again, I'll have a guy with a gun to protect me. Hopefully I can avoid anything crazy on the way.
Now, where is the lab in here? If I go back past the blade monster, it's a pretty straight shot or I could take a more roundabout route and not get stabbed to death. Well, not by anything I know for certain is there.

Avoiding stabbings usually works out best for people.

it might have actually moved on once it realized there's nothing there to stab.

or its been following you this whole time... best not to backtrack

>>962903

NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW! The monsters that is.

Spend a couple of minutes training with your club. A bit of crumpled paper or something could be thrown into the air to give you something to aim at, and just swinging a few times to feel how your balance shifts, if your feet get unstable, or if the club is prone to leaping out of your hands.

I'm not sure what would cause it to go from ᵗᶦᶜ ᵗᶦᶜ to SMASH in such a short space of time, but these creatures seem unpredictable and would best be avoided rather than confronted. I don't know what you're going to find in the lab but considering the possibility of it being the source of all this you might have to prepare yourself to see some shit.

Your options right now don't look great, so take the scenic route and keep finding out more.

Safety even in recklessness. Go for the roundabout.

Stealth: Success
I'm just going to go around and try to avoid that thing. But then there's more of those little testicle hopper things. This is getting out of hand. Now there are two of them.

I beat the one last time unarmed, but I got all cut up, envenomated and passed out, so I really don't want to do that again.
I beat the one last time just flailing around and stomping on it, so now that I have something to whack them with, they're probably not a huge threat.
Having to deal with two of them makes me a bit nervous though.
I could run by them before they have a chance to react, but I don't know what's around the corner.

I'm not sure what else I could do. The main hall kind of loops around the perimeter of the building, roughly. I can't think of any other way around, except maybe back the other way and hope the slicer monster is trapped or wandered off.

>>963062
KILL

Throw something at the far wall.

Call one over and see if they're too stupid to communicate. Learn any noises they make to each other.

Also, harvest their organs, the beak in particular. Their bones should be sufficiently sturdier than the rest of their bodies so you can make piercing shivs, like in your survival games.

either find something to try and lure them away, or find something to try and lure one close to you so you can ambush it and then finish off the other one on a one on one fight.

>>963062

Have you ever played baseball or something similar? It's like that when they jump at you.

>>963144
Batter up!

try to knock on the wall loud enough for the monster closest to you can hear, but quiet enough for the farther monster to not hear. If the closest monster comes to investigate, you can ambush and attack it with the table leg once it reaches the corner catching it by surprise.

You can always go back and see where the slicer is.

I throw a pocket candy across the hall to distract it. The paper was wearing off and lint was sticking to the candy anyway, so I probably wasn't going to eat it.

Now I have an easy swing at the lump creature.

>Have you ever played baseball or something similar?

I've played something. Aaaand she winds up the shot and... it didn't actually go very far. At least it doesn't look to be in good shape after that. I don't know much about it's anatomy, but when fluids start gushing out everywhere, you're probably not having a good time.

Or you're having a really good time. You know, because fluids... Nevermind. I think the other one sees me.
I'm feeling a little more confident in my ability to smack them around, but I could also fall back and try to get the strategic advantage to smack it slightly better, maybe?

Yeah... they look good at jumping. I would try to lure it around a corner so it has to take a moment to turn to face you or shift its momentum or whatever.

It bunches up like it's about to jump, but when I duck back around the corner, it stops and shuffles down the hall toward me. Now that it can't draw a line to me, it can jump and when it comes around the corner, I start wailing on it. They're pretty terrible at being dangerous when you have something to hit them with and they don't get the jump on you.

This table leg isn't holding up. The horns on these things might be good for stabbing, but I'm pretty sure they're stuck on there pretty good.

I need a minute to let my heart rate get back into the double digits before I do anything. I'm kind of blanking out on a solid plan and I'm kind of being hit with the realization that something is going very badly here.

Take a moment to catch your breath, look at your surroundings and think

I think with a lot of monsters being near the lab, it probably isnt a good idea to go there yet with our weapon badly damaged. We need a stronger weapon.

For now lets take a detour to the administrative office and see if we can get something better to protect ourself with before continuing to the lab

I though the plan was to find a friendly face, hope they have a gun, and stick to them until they let you out of this crazy place.

As for a short term plan, I would recommend finding a new replacement weapon so you can defend yourself should something else start trying to chase you.

Alright change of plans, go to admin office and see if you can get something more sturdy to hit things with.

If you're going to be fighting things that are that height, I think you should keep an eye to finding some pants.

>>963415
As an alternative, we could try to access a low level lab (you know, the kind with the beakers, basic chemical storage, fume hood, corrosive-resistant tables, and not much else) and try to make some improvised weapons. Just taking some isopropyl alcohol, a small flask or lidded jar, a piece of cloth, and some matches can make molotov (or whomever it was named after in this universe) cocktails.

>something is going very badly here
That is an understatment.
But your task still holds: find someone that can help you get out of here, armed if possible.

>>963415
Keep an eye out for any other improvised weapons. Maybe drag around a lumpy-thing to toss at bigger things as a distraction

>>963415
>The horns on these things might be good for stabbing, but I'm pretty sure they're stuck on there pretty good

hmm, try stomping on it's head until the horn pops out or something? just be careful not to step on the horn itself.

>>963485
No wait! better idea!

grab one of the monsters, and carefully use it's horn on its head to cut off the other monster's horn, then we can have a nice sharp cutting tool, just need to stick it on something next for a weapon

maybe after that, do the same to the other monster with your new improvised cutting tool to have two sharp tools.

>>963492
If we're willing to take the time to try this, it might be a good idea.
Regardless heading to the admin's office should be our goal.

>>963492
Worth a try. Just remember to be aware of your surroundings and listen for noises while doing this. And keep in mind if we do manage to cut the horn(s) out of its heads, that these are short ranged weapons. We can probably try to make a makeshift spear with it later with proper tools though.

But yeah still the administrative offices is a good place to stop for a bit.

Okay, I'm going to get one of these if I can, because I'm thinking about how boring offices are and how much trouble I might have finding something sufficiently pointy later on.

Just gonna grab on here and yank this thing off.
Hgh! I just have to kinda twist and pry and try not to get monster juice on my boots, until it starts to come off.

That is an unpleasant sound and even worse smell, but now I have a stabber. It is a little covered in connective tissue and some kind of gross ichor, which may or may not be hazardous in some way.

yeah, while scavenging you may want to add a towel or some cloth to wrap around the base of the horn so you don't have to worry about touching anything nasty.

Wow that's disgusting xD Make sure to keep your grip away from the pointed end otherwise you could get knocked out again and there might not be anybody to help this time. I would try to make a spear like >>963766 said, and potentially you could take the creature with you in the hopes that you could find a container to squeeze its venom into, which could help you subdue attackers faster with the spear.

We are going to need something to put around it to grab onto it. To pretect your hands.

You should keep moving.

In before "stabbing" them with their own "stabber" causes them to multiply.

>>963852
Ugh, I swear, if we kill one of them and they give birth to a swarm of them, we are nopeing the fuck outta there.

Alright, spike acquired. Let's keep moving and find a supply closet or something for... supplies.

Don't let any contaminated water flow through the drain. If these things have alien spores, you do not want to spread them. Spill water if needed.

Get to a workshop and drill some grips into your new stabber.

The office area is more unfamiliar than the school facilities, because I basically never have a reason to come here. I'm just kind of wandering.
Hopefully I can find a break room or janitor closet to scavenge some useful stuff from. I'm kind of pessimistic about what kind of effective tools I can make with what I'll find around here, while being really quiet and staying out of sight, but I makes me feel better to have something to hold, I guess.

I just want to know where these things are coming from. I don't think I actually want to be where they're coming from though.

Hmm... Nothing is out of place and everything seems quiet for the moment. Maybe I'm safe for once.

>>964027
Check the computer.

Check out what's on the monitor

Oh hey someone forgot to log off their computer. Also windows, do they face outside or are they just looking into a garden or something that’s surrounded by the building. Just want to see if we can see any of these things lurking outside for when we get out of here ourselves.

Before you check the computer, move the chairs in front of the openings leading into that that computer area. That way, if any monsters come in, you'll be able to hear them move the chairs giving you enough time to react.

Those look like metal shutters over the windows that you probably can't open, but they're probably worth looking at. Also check the computer.

I just remembered, are there any vents in that computer room? might want to also consider being careful around those before we read the stuff on the computer.

>>964027
Keep your ears perked. Tiptoe around. Look around corners carefully, at a distance. Once you've cleared the area, go check out that monitor that seems to be on. Maybe there's a connection there you can use to get in touch with the outside world or a complex chat room or help system or anything.

I use the chairs to build a cubicle fort and go read the monitor. It a message asking for help and being vague about something coming to get them and a reply that says someone is coming to help. I wonder if the person is hiding nearby or if they got eaten or dragged off to be used as incubators for alien spore creatures.

Well, there's no signs of a fight, so they might in fact be hiding. Or they already got evacuated and you missed your chance.

>>964159
I guess go looking? Except they might think you're a monster if you show up without any warning. Hmm. Well, don't stick your face into any hiding places I guess, and maybe quietly ask if anyone's nearby every now and then.

Any previous messages, or at least any documents on the computer that can give us info on wtf is happening?

>>964159
Send a new answer. Maybe you'll actually get rescued this time. Maybe add in that your original waiting spot got attacked and you had to flee.

Keep going, you are on the open. Any idea of where people might be?

I... Wow, just wow, I managed to only just now get the reference that the title was making.

>dragged off to be used as incubators for alien spore creatures.
You really need to know if this is enemy territory. If the poor helpless soul who was last here was brutally dragged away to be mercilessly ravaged by eldricht hordes, then surely even their futile struggles would have left some evidence? Lick the screen to check if it tastes of blood.

What does the text on the screen say? We can't understand what it says.

>>964243
check the discussion thread

>>964224
What reference? We should really be focusing on all the Biohazards around here.

Okay so send a quick "new person here, are you okay still?" Give it a minute and then go if they need help, avoid if you don't get anything

I type a message telling them there's another person here. No answer immediately, so I look around to see if the original message author is hiding nearby.
The board room is dark and enclosed. I'd hide there if I was hiding, so I check in there.

It's perfectly quiet and ssssomETHING TOUCHED MY ANKLE!

>>964339
Get up on the table and look to see what touched you.

>>964339
Make sure it's not human before stabbing.

Probably just some seaweed. Ignore it and move briskly further down the corridor

>>964339
Keep it down! Back off and see what touched you. If mosnter, run, if not, ask what the hell were they thinking!

>>964339
Don’t scream! It could attract attention. Back off and try to figure out if someone hiding was just trying to get your attention or if it was another alien thing.

Kick it as hard as you possibly can

don't scream it might attract something, as for what to do get off the ground and try and see what touched you.

Begin hissing and jump on the table.

Probably someone hiding under the desk, back up a bit and verify, then say hi (or stab if needed)

If it was one of those monsters, you'd be dead by now. Most likely someone hiding...

...

kick?

naw, just kidding, support: >>964362

>>964339
I mean it could be the person as you describe hiding under the table, though if they saw it was another person coming in I would have thought they would have gotten your attention verbally rather than physically, so I would move away from the table and take a look under it.

>Begin hissing and jump on the table.

In a masterful attempt to jump on the table, I throw myself backward into the wall and fall on the floor. At least I didn't drop the face spike, so I can still fight off whatever tried to grab me before I die horribly!
