>try checking if they got anything on them of note.
I check their pockets, but they don't seem to have anything too important, just stuff like pens and I.D cards. Their PDA's and wallets are oddly missing.
>You could try... chucking them out the window? At least it'd make things SLIGHTLY more hygienic
Even with robotic hands, I'd rather not run the risk of contracting living rust disease from one of them. Also, they smell terrible. It'd be best for me to finish my business here quickly.
>Why is that one’s goggle green?
Tobaks that originate from the glade have their goggles set to a different frequency due to their differing tolerance for light, it also helps set them apart for recognition.
>Check inside the desk and see if there's anything else to be found?
I look through the desks and find many tools, some might even be useful if they had any battery left in them. Maybe I can do some tinkering here.
>Aren't you guys pretty fresh to modern tech
Sure, but we rarely get to use 'modern' tech, we are usually given simple or dated stuff, which is simple to operate and maintain while also easy to replace. There's a pretty common saying among company supervisors; Never give millions of zeny in equipment to a tobak.
>Seems very suspicious.
To me it looks straightforward, but at the same time there is certainly something off.
>Loot and clean some goggles.
I can't think of a use for them, they work just as good as my pair, and I don't think Bry needs a replacement either.
>Rip up one of their jumpsuits to make a fashion a backpack out of cloth.
Using the tools and equipment lying around, I make something rudimentary but functional. It smells a bit, but I can ignore it until I find a proper backpack.
>Even an empty gun can be used for threatening people.
Good point, I didn't even consider that. I pick it up and inspect it, it holds an empty plasma shell. There are four in total if I add them to the ones lying on the ground. And why should I threaten with an empty gun? I could find a way to rig it to battery I took out of that gun earlier and -
oh wait, I think I threw that into the river. If I check I...
Wait, the laser magazine is still in my pocket?! I've even got a chocolate bar and a half in my pockets as well? just how much have I been forgetting back there?! I could wipe the spit off the end of this scattergun barrel, and it'd be as good as new, for at least one shot if I wire it up to this (usually) incompatible magazine. My patent for my plasma blunderbuss is still pending, but there's nothing wrong with making another prototype.
>pocket that one’s horn as you might be able to use it as a shiv if someone tries to ambush you.
Oooh, another excellent Idea. I pocket my new shiv.
>Does that horn look familiar to you? Maybe like Dowser's?
It does, actually. I doubt it belongs to him though.
>Perhaps the notes will give an idea why it looks like they decided to take the most shameful end.
I skim through the notes, most of them seem to be directed to their family members and loved ones. It's pretty grim stuff, a lot of personal details that I probably shouldn't be prying into, but I need the information. They all mention that their situation is hopeless, and this is their only way out, but none are very clear on what they mean.
I notice there is a fourth note, I'm guessing it belonged to the one whose horn sat on the desk. It's very short.
>'I'm not going to kill myself. The others may think it's hopeless, but I value my life a little more than to throw it away the moment some thing that can do magnetic tricks shows up. We only have 4 shots for the scattergun left, one divided between each of us. The rest have made up their minds. I'm know what I'm doing with my shot, I'm taking my chances.
