You slowly regain your consciousness in a unknown location... your thoughts are hazy and your body feels numb

In jest of plotwise convenience you cannot recall your own name or any memory of timespawn that preceded your awakening

A source of bright light in front of you obscures your surroundings
All you can tell for sure is that you are completle immobilized - with your arms and legs being strapped to this chair

what will you do?

Read screen. Poke at screen with tail.

Shout out to see if there is anyone nearby.

You throw a look at the lit set of screens nearby:
First screen appears to be some kind of ID verification panel,
Second screen shows some kind of reading (you dont really know what it means),
Third screen reads as follows - "Experiment number 005... second phase... object: feline female, name: /deleted/

There is nothing to poke with your tail...

You attempted to shout some more to no awail...

After that you tried to force yourself out of the tight grip of beltstraps also to no awail...

While preforming these actions you notice some kind sticker like "thing" attached to your head

Obviously you're being monitored, maybe mindscanned. Relax. There aint a whole lot about to happen with you tied up.

Could try meditating. Even if to just see if you can meditate.

Wild guess is the reading on the screen is brainwaves. If the display can be trusted, you either are, or are part of, an experiment. Further wild speculation: maybe you have telekinesis. Try undoing a strap with the power of your ~mind~.

Huh, that was surprisingly easy.
I think the first step, once you feel properly cut off the surroundings is to search your body, one part at a time. If the experiment messed with the body, something should feel off or different... right?

Now you are confused...

It's possible there's an emergency release for if your vitals are at dangerous levels. Which would involve getting super-duper panicked, I guess.

Or you could try rubbing that sticker off instead.

You notice the absence of said sticker... where did it go? and when did it go?
You turn around to look behind your person nothing but a solid wall 2 meters away from you... your vision becoming slightly more adapted to this light, you need to look around yourself a bit more, maybe there is something you missed (inspect previous entries more closely now that your vision is more adapted)

Ok, lets see. Screen. Then locks on your wrists. then, surroundings, get a look at the walls and where the light is coming from.

Thanks for all commands (its my first try at this and so far its fun)

And dont worry too much. People's expected to be off for the holidays around now.

Considering that the hand is quite sad, try cheering it up with humor! Perhaps this will coerce the mystery hand into aiding you further.

Between here >>553771 and >>553772 . It disappeared while you were meditating. Of course, you had your eyes closed then, so someone or something could have quietly and stealthy removed it and you might not have noticed their presence.

What are the straps on your arms made of? Metal, cloth, plastic, leather? If they're made of the right kind of material, you could use your cat contortionism to twist your hand around and start slowly working on cutting yourself free with a claw.

Assuming thats a bomb, we totally do Not have two hours.

Fire the spray in the air. It might just be pepperspray, but its worth checking if it really is.

Now, thinking about what happened. Man, axe, hand, bomb. He didnt hack his own hand off because it somehow became trapped under the chair, did he? maybe you're really, really dangerous.

Is there something that can be read in the chair's panel? Anything useful, at all?

Is there a chance we can use all the wiring to lasso or hook up the guy's hand? Assuming the hand activates the chair's panel, maybe something'll happen if we use them together.

Also we have around 20 minutes to think of something.

In the events of not finding what to do with the "bomb" in less than 20 minutes you can always throw it into the vent and hope for the best.

Okay, this piece of paper might be related to the keypad. Three marks on a 3x3 grid could correspond with digits on the numpad. Problem is, we don't know which way to orient the paper, or which order to push the buttons in.

It produces dust like matter without scent or color, its not sticky or wet

After that you give a second look to the chair screen... second screen went black and the third is showing a message:
- sample extracted - ... - awaiting reset -

You have an idea to make a rope out the power cord that goes through the room, you can combine it with little cabinet hook's to retrieve severed appendage from under the chair... but it will also lead room wide black out... you need to consider it carefully...

what should i do ... what ...?

Is there anything inside those holes on the left side of the room?

Also consider that even with a blackout, there's a glowstick in the pit, which we may also be able to retrieve.

Im gonna put the game on pause until tomorrow

Thouse things are not holes they are just painted dots ... with circles

Also until tomorrow im gonna put the last decision on vote:
A) Rip out the cord -> Black out
B) Find another solution (suggest one yourself)

A blackout (and potentially getting electrocuted) doesn't seem worth retrieving the glowstick. Especially since the door lock is wired into the power supply we'd be cutting it off from, and we haven't even tried messing with the numpad, yet.

Granted, if we could get the wire off without frying ourself, we could use it to retrieve the glowstick, and grapple to the vent (and hope that leads out, somewhere).

use SPINE instead of CORD.

>>553984
Correct, a combination of your strong tail and the spine might be good enough to retrieve the object down there.
The spine even has small hooking rib hooks on them that you can essentially use to hook onto the object, making it much easier to use than string with a hook.

You think that door has a fire alarm mechanism to unlock in case of a fire?

You know, the blood under that hole makes me wonder if it was involved with the man's dismemberment. Just as likely a coincidence though. I'd go testing them with the spine maybe. Also, the cross and circle might be important.

if we're going to black out the room then it would be best if we could grab the glow stick.

I agree with this.

Open the observation window, if possible. Then dispose of that bomb.

Put the bomb against the door then curl up on the opposite corner with your ears covered til it explodes. There's no guarantee that the disposal mechanism won't drop the bomb somewhere where it won't do you any good. Keep the scientist's hand close.

He was a scientist who was supposed to run tests on you, then extract your spine and send you off to be incinerated. Who had already done so to four other people, for the chair's logs. And who worked with or for people who had your memories and name deleted, if he didn't do it himself.

He doesn't deserve your sympathy, admirable as it is.

While we're waiting, what are the chances of you jumping up to that open grating?

Should have opened the window first but meh, anyways find a corner and curl into a ball we don't know what's about to happen so might as well over react just to be safe

I'd keep on posting here. Threads don't get bogged down till 500-1000 posts so we're good.

Silence surrounds you...
Your consciousness drifting in the sea of nothingness...
Suddenly a pulse of pain brings you back to reality...
Your body is numb and your thoughts are hazy...
Memory of agonizing pain and heat still feel to real... that you can almost touch it...

You find yourself in unknown location...

Well, time to wake up and smell the ashes. Hopefully thats not too literal here.

Do the Check Your Body For Wounds dance.

Ok check yourself for ashes and such. Want to find out how you got here. Did you crawl through the vents or did someone carry you here?

Are those x-rays of you or someone else?

You started checking yourself... your arms they covered in bandages... did somebody treated you?

And brain scans... you cant really tell...

Things to examine:

THe potted plant.
THe suspicious section of the wall the blood trail leads too
The xrays.
THe outline on the ceiling
Door
Consoles around the room (large one, one by the door, one by the xrays)
Scorched vent.

Anything on the walls we can't see?

>>554237
Hang on, is there something attached to your spine in that xray?

>>554239
they may not be our scans.

There is also a panel to examine on the side of that large console.

You examine all the following thigs:
- Plant is rather plain looking
- Trail of blood ending near the wall... somebody been loosing lots of blood... you hope its not you...
- X rays shows 6 brain scans... they have circled parts on them with several notes... each scan seem to belong to the same person... they all marked as "subject alpha" next to the xray's is drawing of neural system with something attached to it (you dont know what it is)
- The outline on the celing is seems to be made of blood... its dripping on the floor
- Door is (suprisingly)... open, but is shielded with something from other side
- Consoles under the vent is seems to be damaged by flame outburst form the vent...
- Thing next xrays is chalkboard in small compartment under it is small piece of chalk and eraser
- Vent up above scorched with flames, it dark in there... its screen is laying on the top of the console

Is there something on top of the door? Also check to see whether any or all of the items you had are still with you.
Press buttons on the console to see if you can get it to activate.

Huh, I was expecting stuff to be gone, but going unconscious and getting a (kind of) better weapon is a new one. Examine the syringe to try and tell if it is the same one you had earlier.

Are any of the notes on the x-rays legible?

so the 1st is in a square, the 12th has a "d" next to it, and the 22nd has a horseshoe which I'm pretty sure is a Greek letter but I can't recall which one right now.

Also what's the mirror/window next to the door?

check new necklace

>>554264

Pretty sure the horseshoe one is Omega. The d might stand for delta, so these are probably the testing dates for the different versions of the experiments.

Oooh dear. I don't want to be a downer sweetie, but I think the explosion did a lot more damage than we thought. Examine everything on your body.

Hmm, maybe what they were testing was consciousness transfer from a meatsack to a metalhead. Your death triggered the operation. Immortality research in otherwords.

That or you've always been an android and they've been shunting your intelligence from body to body.

Doesn't explain all the blood everywhere of the fact that people have died.

Anyway do an in depth examination of your body then continue exploring how to get out of this room.

>>554260
Dang. That calender is very unhelpful. No year marked. And no days, either! If we assume the first column is for Sundays, then we know the year started on a Thursday. Which narrows the possible year down to about... 11 a century.

>>554262
...maybe whoever treated you with bandages covered your face, too? You'd think you were burned by everything that happened.

>>554266
I don't think that's a d. It's an a. Alpha and omega- a beginning and an end.

as you try to scream the only thing that comes out is incoherent howling...

Is there anything behind the plant? Is that gun a 5 shot revolver or a 6 shooter that's been fired once?

Check out the consoles; if they're broken, try and pry off that panel on the side. If that's no good, try the screen next to the X-rays.

You found a screwdriver x1

Welp. Guess it was mutant healing powers from useful yet horrible mutagen after all.
Is that an extra eye near the top of your head? Can you see out of it? Try opening your mouth a bit, to see if those huge teeth are actually functional if the need arises.

Write something on the chalkboard; you should still be able to write, and establishing that should help a bit with mental stability. Afterwards, take it and the chalk with you if possible. Being able to communicate is essential in case we run into somebody sane or eventually get out. Also roll up the calendar and take that too.

Get a look at the x-ray notes; chances are subject alpha mutated as well and is killing people and/or helping you.

Wtf... ok weird shit is happening... I think we just got transferred to subject 4s body.. wait let me try something
(HELLO ANYBODY IN HERE?) sorry if I just shouted in to you brain

>>554273
teeth... those are some mean looking teeth

Alright so lets go over what we remember, We woke up strapped to chair next to a dead body, We found a bomb in the room but managed to throw in into an adjacent room where it took out the wall between the two rooms and knocked us the fuck out. Then we wake up here after it seems someone has treated our wounds from the explosion but in the short time of five minutes not only did they fully badge us, we've ... got some cosmetic work done to our face and have been moved into a completely different room.

Is that about right? Cause if so, what the fuck happened in those 5 minutes?

As for what to do, the brain chart, do the red circles on that thing match up to where the patch was on your head? also can you see what's up the vent in the room, the one with all the burn marks?

You take a closer look at the console... big screen to the right is appears to be broken beyond repair, is one of the three smaller ones to the left...
Console have have two slots on it... one big at the top and one small at the side

Consol must have been hit by fire burst from the vent shaft... scorches on the wall speaks for that...

Break the mirror, there may be something behind it.

Could we try opening the panel on the right hand side of the console, there? Might be something inside, and we have a screwdriver if needed.

>>554260
12 has alpha next to it. 22 has omega next to it.

12-1-22? Try that for the door code.

That looks like our fellow mutant! How nice of them to leave a note. They seem to want to help, and at a guess they are visibly mutated and think we will freak out if we see them. (Also they are likely covered in scientist blood but by all indications those guys had it coming.) Leave a note for them on the chalkboard along the lines of "Can't speak; can think. You too?"

Open console, acquire chalk, break mirror with grate and acquire mirror shard.

Hang on, do we know that this isn't what she looked like at the start of the quest? The images of her that we saw could have been how she thought she looked (notice how she changed once she saw a mirror.)

Maybe remove the bandages? See if your hands look the same as before.

i think you're a body shifter
you possess different bodies
i think your first one was destroyed and you found another suitable one here

but yeah lets go with that 12-2-22 code

hm, try the screwdriver on the side panel on the busted computer, then try the 12-1-22 combo on the door.

You rip off a chalkboard off a wall... this will come in handy...

open the door again and see if you can't push whatever was blocking it earlier out of the way.

After checking the door, try throwing something like the vent at the bloody ceiling panel to see if you can dislodge it. If that doesn't work, see if you can get into the vent, possibly stacking the plant pot on top of the console if you need a bit of a boost. (Also check if you find yourself stronger or better at jumping than you remember.)

You use plant pot as a boost to reach open vent shaft... it looks like you can reach it if you jump... but it will knok over pot and possibly shatter it...

could you pour out the dirt first so if it falls off it will lessen the blow to the pot, just flip the pot upside down and stand on the bottom.

As you observe your surroundings you can see three possible routes:
A) up
B) straight and left
C) straight and right

>>554395
Up to the next floor. I want to find out what that blood is leaking from.

Can we see which way has the most residue from the explosion? We should try to follow it to check out the previous room for any indication as to how we got here from there.
How confident are we that we could catch ourself if we fell down the upwards vent (or went down in a hurry)?

I say go what ever way is away from the fire blast, last thing we need to do is go back to ground zero and find there's still a raging fire or something there.

>>554395
Up, lets check the blood

C) straight and right

I'm curious, too, though maybe that's a bad idea, but let's go up.

Also, does your fur appear to be black now because it's grown that way or because of soot/singeing?

B) straight and left and keep turning left until you find something.

Ok. Personally, I don't think it was necessary to tell us that OOC, or even at all - it's ok for us to keep guessing, I think, particularly in this kind of quest. If it's important for us to know, it seems like there are probably in character ways of telling us, too - helps maintain immersion. You're the boss, though. Nice quest, so far.

I would like to note that if we drop down from the vent, we will likely not be able to get back up. We could consider checking the other passages before we get out of the vents.

As you check the body you notice that its covered in ash...
Two wounds that may caused his demise are a metal bar that sticking out of his abdomen... and a gunshot wound in the middle of the chest...

>>555012
sorry my bad ... its my first time doing quest... and i wanted to make it obvious... in the scene with a mirror at least... (cuz it was a point of choice between A,B and C, after 1 chapter) in case of option B or C it could be up to debate but not in case of A

Hmm, puzzling. Seems like if he had been skewered by an iron bar, you wouldn't likely need to shoot him, too, unless you needed him dead dead really quick. If he'd been shot first, then how'd he end up with a metal bar in him? One might suppose that he was shot, then later the (an?) explosion happened, driving a metal bar into him. But it seems like he isn't in the right place for that, and the blood seems spattered where he currently is. There's also all the ash. I notice there's ash marks around the window, as well as around the vent - is there much ash anywhere else? Like, around the body?

I dunno; suppose: he's standing next to the window. An explosion goes off, skewering him and causing him to fall off, onto the spot where there is now lots of blood. He staggers upright, and someone shoots him to finish him off. Ooh, is there a bullet hole in a wall anywhere?

>>555017
That's fine; you're doing well. I'm a little confused now, though - I'm not sure how the multiple choice thing got involved in this spoiler discussion. My only point was that it didn't seem important for us to know, unequivocally, that we actually switched bodies, and thus may not merit an OOC explanation. Stuff that has immediate impact on what we can and can't do, and is really difficult to explain in an in character manner, could merit such explanation, for example. Oh, wait, I see what you mean with the A, B, C thing. Yeah, perhaps it was intended to be totally clear, but I still think there's no harm in letting us postulate theories. And, if you don't want such discussion cluttering this thread, you could make a discussion thread. Regardless, this is all just my opinion, anyway, formed partially from what I've seen as I've lurked here for a year or two - sorry if I'm getting all lecture-y. You're doing well; it's a very intriguing quest. I tried to do a major quest, once, but put too much thought into it and panicked and dropped it. Hopefully I'll pick it up again one day.

>>555014
Take comfort in the fact that your explosion probably isn't the reason this guy died then.

Let us look down below and into the remains of the room. If that was the room you were just in.
I mean, what're the odds its ANOTHER room that blew up too?
Turn his frown upside down. Also check his pulse he still might be alive because living organism's are generally extremely sturdy figures so it's not impossible for him to be alive.

Also loot his shit regardless. Hold the coolest looking object on him above your head and go "Doo doo doo do!"

Check out the cabinets before the window. Windows tend to mean trouble in this sort of place, while cabinets more often mean loot (and the occasional body part).

as you do so, you find small shards of glass scattered through the room...

Hmmmm.... Unless you notice anything weird about the pattern of glass (like if they are mysteriously absent in a specific region of the room), I guess check for stuff on the body (uh, pretend he's asleep or something), check the cabinets, then lastly check out the window.

>>555038

Look through the destroyed blinds to see if the room below is the room that you've destroyed with the explosives

well this explains the blood dripping from the ceiling at least, what can you see in the room below?

Peek through the observer window. Can you see the room you started out in?

Check if you can open the panel the blood is dripping though. That's a fast way down, if we need one.

Anything in those cabinets?

Anything on the dead guy? (ID, tools, weapons, etc).

Huh. Follow your original body's trail. That was a good body, we can't just let it go to waste.

Those scientists had to get up to this room somehow. There is probably some kind of retractible/collapsible ladder stored/controlled somewhere around here (unless it was portable and someone ran off with it). Check the cabinets before going down in any case, as it will be a bit tricky getting back up with what we have now. Also, have we looted the pockets of the corpse in this room?

Yeah, this is the right approach, here. Finish checking the room and the body, and they try to find the way down the observer would have used.

see if you can find a way down without breaking your legs, I want to know what the hell happened to you after the explosion.

Whoowee, that did not work out for us well. Guess that'll learn us to incinerate explosives.

You think back to the blood trail you saw at the testing room...

It cant be good... unless it carwled away on its own... it cant be good...

Kind of odd to be describing yourself as 'it'.

Release rope ladder, climb on down.

You climb down the ladder and find yourself...
in a familiar room

Check if the console it can play VHS tapes

>>555296

Go back to the previous room and use the rope ladder to climb down to the room where you were first kept

>>555305
Yep yep. Rope ladders are nice like that.

We'll have to smash away more of the window first, but I agree.

go back up to the room you where just in and see if you can't just pick up the rope latter and throw it over the console and out the window into the room where the blast detonated.

As video tape start to roll... unclear flickering image appeared on the top left screen...

The one standing near the chair starts to speak

- recording for archive number 040113... test subject Ember S. under supervision of dr. Leonard Hols.
- Subject so far managed to avoid any unwanted side effects... (distortion) ...soon be ready for harvesting.
- basic cognitive function is seem to be intact... if we provide enough push... much higher results can be acheved... subject is scheduled for following testing in three days...

- hmm... on a side note... for the record...
- its been three days sence the com tower went out of comission... and four day sence last contact with the main land... repairs in the east wing is not finished and... there still no news from the... second facility... f***king morons... heh sterilizing they say... sterilizing... they should... just... burn it to the ground... (man takes of the glasses and grumbles something to himself) well anyway ... end of recording...

camera shuts down...

Console makes buzzing sound and chews up the tape...

Hey, can you do something for me
Try to speak
Say something like "What a dick"
Just want to know if your voice is funny.

>Hey, can you do something for me Try to speak Say something like "What a dick" Just want to know if your voice is funny.

You think "why not" ...
You attempt to converse with the voice in your head...
The face mask you are currently wearing makes you sound like some kind of hardboiled pyrotechnics specialist... well that and ripped open mouth filled with razor sharp teeth...

- Mwhah awh whighh...

is that you in the chair? huh, you use to have hair.

Anyways what else is there for you to explore around here?

You dont discard this possibility... but footage was not clear enough to tell for sure...

>Anyways what else is there for you to explore around here?

You look around the room... the obvious exit (door) is blocked, not so obvious one (vent) is rendered unreachable... you still have a rope ladder that connects this room with one above it...

>>555837

Go back up. Grab the rope ladder. Descend onto the room where you started

well shit, lets head back up and see if we can't figure out what light bulb and funnel things do. If all else fails we could always pick the rope latter up and just toss it threw the hole in the window up there and use that to clime down into the other room.

>>555837
Inspect 4th wall
You could also inspect 4th wall in the room above you too, if it's featureless.

You ascend to the room above... and attempt to use rope ladder to get into the testing room...

Unfortunately the rope ladder is inseparable from the rewinding mechanism in the small box container... but you still manage to get through the observation window into the testing room... by breaking remaining glass before hand with a steel rod...

You look indide incineration room and see that... its mostly melted inside due to the extreme heat form explosion... its all scrap now,there is nothing of use in there...

Alright then let's just go out the door.

Have the steel bar ready and your pistol somewhere you can reach it.

Check the locker, then get your pistol ready and follow the bood trail.

...you feel something is off...

Someone is to your left. Retreat into the room, and write "Hello. Wave a hand if you understand." on your chalkboard while keeping your gun close at hand. (We really should have gotten that written down earlier now that I think about it.)

Its all would be nice and dandy... but in split second of event... you dont really have luxury to think about that, you grab your gun and point it to the unkown entity in the darkness...

A) Shoot
B) Don't shoot

Don't shoot. The only thing that has clearly tried to kill us so far is the scientists, and this does not look like one of them. (For that matter, whoever killed that first corpse while we were in the room and just left us there, unless that was somehow us.)
Retreat as quickly as possible just in case, though.

don't waste ammo at what could be another dead body, but incase it isn't quickly jump back into the testing room and get the bar ready to whack the crap out of anything that would follow you out.

Don't shoot. Shooting first is a bad policy unless you have damn good reason to believe everything around you means you harm, or you're capable of doing so non-fatally.

No...don't shoot yet. They may be innocent. Plus, since you're already pointing the gun at them, if they make any sudden aggressive moves, THEN you can shoot them. I would pause for a second, then back through the door to reevaluate.

Hmm, my only worry about backing through the door is that then we have to re-enter, and we'd be easier to ambush.

>>555994
Never shoot at the unknown. Always confirm the target before you fire! That's why I wanted the bar wielded instead.

Instead, back up into the room you were in previously so you can get a better look at it if it follows you. If it rushes at you, hit it with the bar instead of straight up going for lethal force, until you can identify the target.

You decide to not shoot... and retreat to back to the room...

Unfortunately... this moment of hesistation... will cost you...

Entity launches its self towards you... piercing with its appendages your left eye and your right shoulder... its followed by the weird feeling of spreading through your head and right arm (wich tenses up restricting its movements)

Okay now you can shoot. Shoot like crazy, and probably die.

...although considering we already have tendrils in our head and gun arm, I've serious doubts as to our ability to get a shot off.

Might also be a good time to unleash the face of teeth, if you can.

>>556021
Holy FUCK! SHOOT IT!

Also hit it. Repeatedly.

the fact you aren't dead is amazing. pull the trigger.

Eh, a thing that skeletal with that many superfluous appendages probably won't be slowed down much by the organ damage from bullets. Try to bludgeon some of those skinny limbs with your iron bar.

shoot, hit, bite, get that fucker away from you

You whack this f**ker with steel bar... and managed to split... one of its skulls open... but it doesnt look like it hurt much... just stunned for a bit

You managed to get one of its tentacles out of your left eye... but its still tightly holding you right arm... you feel it trying to spread through your body... you dont have much time... you must do something... fast...

jerk your body back into the room. pull away from it. and swing at the vine or whatever is attached yo you.

Yep, back away and bash the parts still connecting it to you.

>>556038
Well you could rip off your own arm if you're hard enough. Or take off your mask and use your jaws on it and/or your arm.

You stumble back into the room... this thing is still clinging onto your arm... pulsating... its not good... hitting it with bar dont do much... you need to find a way to cut it off

GLASS SHARDS!

>>556047
Yeah, we don't have another cutting tool. Unless there's only one connection and we can shoot though it.

The glass or maybe a sharp edge of the broken metal incinerator door.

glass if you can, just try to see if there's something to wrap you hand in so you don't cut yourself more then you need to.

If there is only one connection shooting it point blank with the piston would probably be the fastest way to get it off; otherwise go for the glass.

You pick up one of the larger glass shard... and successfully cut off tentacle burrowing through your arm... but its only a matter of time before it would able to get you again... and this time for good...

Shoot it once or twice to hopefully slow it down a bit, then go for the ladder.

shoot it and then try to clime the fuck out of here if yo can.
