Clear that nano out.

no nano machines, foxdie sucks

Do a test. Warn Mitzi that this might hurt one or both of you. Take out the scanner thing and press the little button on each setting. Don't press the one under the cover. That might be a killswitch. I'm expecting one of you to fall to the ground in pain. That would at least confirm that something is inside you and would make clearing out the machines the obvious choice. Otherwise I'd say put one point of healing into heart and one spread among the other choices.

If Mitzi finds out we had two and took them both she will be super-pissed. We could lose an ally. We might even make an enemy. Give her one and say something like "Here. Now do you trust me more?". Confirm that she will get some use out of it so she doesn't waste it. Also tell her that you have at least another 5 doses of suppress in you.

Another of my horrible ideas. You could take a tube of suppress and counter suppress and swap the labels. Give her the one that has suppress in it. Dead Mitzi?

Check out the break room and security then take a nap somewhere safe.

Speed.

nanomachines now, speed later.

Either give Tazer-Tits the other CS, or save it for any potential future allies, you're doing fine. And get rid of the Nanomach-hey wait what if the nanomachines are us oh god

>>117074
Get rid of the nanomachines. Nothing good comes from fucking nanomachines. Nanomachines makes fucking regenerating vampires that run on water.

And don't give Mitzi the other CS. Not right away. Ask her if she's still feelings effects of Suppress, then decide which one of you needs it more (even though it's obviously you.)

Penji has 40 years of counter suppress in her, we need it more than Mitzi does.

Share the CS, but make sure she knows how much you need it. Subtle-like.

Take both of them. You need it more.

>>117380
We need Mitzi to trust us much more than we need C-S.
Give Mitzi the C-S, and explain that you'll need an increased ration on account of having much, much more Suppress in your system.

I pocket the C-S for now. There's nothing else in the locker apart from a little box of empty data discs.

The crate is more interesting. It has a set of heavy manacles and hobble chain, a spit hood, a small pry-bar, and some clothes.

The idea that this stuff could be related is a little unsettling.

Well, at the very least you won't get a cold or anything.

The pry bar seems potentially useful.
Are the clothes better than what you have?

Take the clothes, more pockets if they fit, cloth to bandage if they don't [alternatively a gift for tazer-tits] Also take the prybar.

We really don't need clothing. Give it to Mitzi.

Take the pry bar.

As much as I'd like to see it, I doubt the other stuff will be of any use.

>>117452

Well, it looks like you're all set as far as Mitzi is concerned. See if she would rather wear those clothes, since she did complain about something called a "flintstone" earlier.

Also, ask her if she still has Suppress in her system, but don't tell her you have a Counter-Suppress until she answers. If she says no, obviously you need it yourself. If she says "I don't know" then you can probably wait. If she says "yes" then try to find out how she knows. Being aware of your own biochemical processes might not be uncommon, for all you know.

>Are the clothes better than what you have?
I'm naked under the coat, remember? I'm only wearing this thing because you guys told me, anyway. The pockets are handy, though.
There's three pairs of clothes here. None of the pants are made for legs like mine. There's also a backpack, which is handy.

>>117477
You're naked, but everything's hidden from view. Isn't fur awesome?

Think wearing the backpack would impede your speed? It not, put it on.

>>117477
The only point of clothing for you is the pockets. Grab the backpack; that'll be plenty of storage space.

See if the clothes fit and if there's enough for the both of you.

Backpack, wonderful. Take it and put the pry bar in it.
Still nice to have the coat's pockets, but no need to grab any other clothes. Anything in the backpack right now?

Don't actually put the backpack on your back. Only put one arm through so you can easily ditch it if you need to.

Yeah, actually.

A mechanical engineering book, an electrical design book, a calculator, notes on paper, some keys.

Not really much room left. Should I dump this junk out?

>See if the clothes fit and if there's enough for the both of you.
Um... like I just said, there's three sets of clothes and they're not really made for my shape or size, but I could probably manhandle something, especially if I'm willing to destroy bits.

>Think wearing the backpack would impede your speed?
Not much. Weight isn't a big deal for me, but it'd increase inertia.

Dump out the books, read the notes, and keep the keys.

>>117508
Read notes
Hug Taser Tits

mitzi can have the backpack. we should also either take the CS now or give to mitzi.

rip a clothing set to fit you. you are indeed naked.

Keep the Keys, leave the books and other stuff in the box. Take the backpack, read the notes or at least skim over them and keep the calculator, you might need to solve a puzzle of some sort.

>>117508
FFFFF- you are in mitzi room!

Look at the titles of the books, then toss 'em, keep the rest, read the notes. Also put on a shirt you harlot.

Then hug Tazer Tits

Put the pack on your shoulder and bring it to the control room and dump it out. Make a second trip to bring out the clothing and prybar.

Holy shit. Take the backpack out to Mitzi.

Nevermind. Just grab the backpack, bring it to Mitzi, and suggest that she can take it in exchange for letting you have the other C-S.

Mitzi would prolly like some of the clothes for herself

>>117527

Don't worry about those guys telling you to put on clothes. They're probably just hairless ape bondage death cultists.

And DEFINITELY MITZI'S NOTES woo. Return them to her, and suggest that, considering the pristine quality of paper, maybe she hasn't been kidnapped for 30 years.

take backpack to mitzi, invite her to room, give space for her to change. ask for clothes too.

also, we tooked her supressants.

>>117538
Oh yes, we should definitely ask her if she wants one then.

If one of those shirts has a breast pocket, you best put that shirt on, for additional space and also so you won't look like a shameless fat harlot, Jellyrolls.

Offer Tazer-Tits some clothes and CS, and give her the notes, and tell her about the books that you're going to leave in the chest.

That's probably true. I'm flipping through more pages, and there's not much sign of wear. I don't know how long these materials last, but they just don't seem like they've been in a box for decades.

>also, we tooked her supressants.
Hers? Wait. Are you suggesting she's a part of this?! Does that mean she's lying about not knowing what I am?

It is possible, but unlikely. Don't jump to conclusions, she probably has a fuzzy memory too.

Umm....don't mind him.

Ooh juicy gossip.

Maybe she's not lying about being captured. Maybe she's just using Mitzi's name.

Bring the backpack over and ask her about it.

>>117579
let me put it this way:

use the second CS, dont giver her a gun, if she complains, give the one with less ammo. confront her before giving gun.

she doesnt seem to have recognized her room, nor locker, or she would have ran to fetch her clothes.

considering they just shoved her shit in a box when there's lockers around. No she was probably kidnapped

"Hello," I say.

"Hey. I unlocked the door, but I still need a card. I was going to get you, but then I noticed the scanner isn't lit. Door power's out, looks like."

"That sounds bad," I say.

"Yeah, well." She pauses. "Uh, this is a really heavy duty door. We can't just pry it open, I don't think. We need something to get in at the wiring to reconnect the power."

"How do you know?"

"Because if it is, we're fucked," she says. "So it isn't. This area's running on battery power. There's no alternate supply."

...hey, Mitzi didn't actually know how long she's been here. Our GUESS was 30 years, but it looks like we were wrong. Give her the backpack and tell her she hasn't been here for that long. A year at most.

which means shit went down a few days ago, which also means something dangerous is probably still alive.

we already know something else is there.

Tell her that there are some clothes, if she wants them, some books, some notes about her, and some CS, if she needs it. Ask if she knows how long she's been cooped up in this place. Ask her if she'd consider going out with you. Hug Tazer-Tits.

"...Some more Counter."

Tell her you could have a milk carton of that stuff and still need more, but yeah, give her the other syringe.

Two are better than one, and she's another person in a facility full of crazy.

>>117701
Be honest with her. You have a LOT of Suppress in your system. She knows what it tastes like, right? Suggest that she might draw a small amount of her own blood and taste it to see how much she might have in her system.

>>117701
"Yeah, there's enough that we can both get some. I already shot up one of the tubes, and there's another for you, if you want. I also found a gun. You know how to use one?"

>>117701
Be honest with her, tell her you used one but you have another. You might want to ask her if she wants it, or wants to let you flush some more out of your highly suppressed system

>>117735
Aye, second.

why do I get the impression we're going to have to fight Mitzi in some kind of climactic battle?

Tell her you used one and your insides still look like they're going to fall apart any second. At least you look good outside, eh?

Ask her if she can feel her insides and can she purge out her nanobots. Otherwise she'll have to live with a built in killswitch.

Also tell her you are really, really, really damaged and should she find more you would appreciate the help. Toss her the CS.

IMPORTANT: Get to the main breaker and turn off everything except main control. We are going to run out of power. No power = No giant door open = death.

We will figure out what to turn back on after we get the main door open. Also we will have to power storage 1 long enough to get the supplies out or we can try to force the unpowered door open. We will also need power to back access long enough to open the door and explore it or figure out how to jam the doors open so we can cut power to it.

"Yeah, but I've got at least 5 doses worth still in my bloodstream. If you need it more than me or plain want it, go ahead. I found two and used one. This is what's left."

Next Check the Bathroom.

Notes:
You don't have to read this if you don't want to. We should take Mitzi on a tour of storage 1. She might find some of the stuff useful. I think she would be interested in seeing the tube you were in, so you could show her that. The next step would be unlocking back access with the control computer and checking it.

Hmm, check out the bathroom, there should be a larger vent in there. The walls will probably be thinner, too, in order to accommodate plumbing, so it shouldn't be too hard to smash through if necessary.
Try to avoid going through De-Con if possible, we have no idea what counts as contamination.

No matter what you do next, though, give Mitzi a hug.

We didn't check back access yet?

turn off all unecessary power. check bathroom.

ask mitzi if ots ok to have the last know CS.

we may need to consider that mitzi is more useful not as muscle but as a brainer. argue that with her.

Let's just ask if she can purge her system of killbots before we turn greedy with CS. Dead ally is useless ally.

And I guess keep talking, about, uh... I dunno. Other suggesters, figure out what we should keep talking about.

"Well... I took it," she says, without looking up. "I figure I needed to think clearly for this, right?"

"Fine by me. Did it help?"

>>118222
Mitzi is telling Penji that Mitzi injected the CS that Penji gave Mitzi.

>>118223
Oh.

...carry on then.

Yes, a bumbling engineer is not something you want right now. While she fiddles with that, check out the thing in the middle of the room.

Unlock Back Access and head there.

We should watch her back while she works. We're inside a spooky science base with a possible serial killer.

Well, since you didin't tell her just how broke you are and didin't ask her for help in the future should she find CS I guess you don't really need it either. No more counter for you Penji, you'll do fine without it seems.

There's also a back access if she can't open this one. Now take a nap while she works.

>>118341

Uh. . . I think Penji does need more CS. Lots more.

according to everything we can choose, in the very least we need 8 more doses.

we should give this one to mitzi because its hers. altho she didnt complained, so i guess its ok to have it.

>>118352
We should make sure she's fine with us taking it, and even so, she could still use the C-S.

There is no more CS, it's all used up. Mitzi took the last one for no apparent postitive effect. Hopefully it clears the nanos. I guess it's just addicting to her now and Mitzi will be having the shakes any minute now. Penji dosen't seem to want more either as she won't articulate the importance of having her insides in one piece and that she would appreciate any future help on behalf of Mitzi in return for this gesture of good will.

So, no more CS for Penji. Take the much needed nap, inform us when you're done or something starts chewing your leg.

Oh, you mean we don't have anymore? I Guess we should try to find more somewhen then.

Yes, you told her you need to chug a jug like a fratboy chasing a buzz. You didin't tell the reason why you need it or that you have felt pain so long it dosen't even register. And you didin't ask her help in the future to fix you.

Why this is such an annoyance is that in the future you don't have a leg to stand on even if you found her passed out in her own vomit with fifty empty C-S syringes lying there. Any real anger on your behalf would be shot down with a simple "Well, you should have told me. I saved you one." But I digress, you'll do fine without.

Rest well, Penji.
