For some reason I don't really trust that obvious trap. It's obvious written by a crazy person.

Do you have access to transportation?

>>91570
Umm, it's fifty miles ouside the city and we don't know where she is exactly.

Well, the reason we're asking if your a crow is that... well this can't be to far-fetched because for gods sake we got flying extra-dimensional whales flying around having sex and zombies all around. I'm going to be honost. Somehow, in some way, we got into contact with a talking crow. He wanted a lady friend to notice him but kidnapped by a horny space whale in a curious commotion.

So we're confused, we don't know jack shit about what is going on. Up is down, left and right aren't directions anymore, and we got whales flying around kicking ass and making babies. Nothing's right man, nothing's right. I know that we do know something however. We're good at this advice shit, and buddy, we have a whole lotta brains to advice all over the wall.

555-ORBS baby. It's all you'll ever need.

Follow the advice of the mysterious note in a whimsical manner.

As far as supplies, I can refill my air if I could find a source of untainted air. If I got high enough up in a building it might be safe. The mist is what changes you, and like I said, it's heavier than air, but not by a whole lot. Its around 5 or 6 feet deep at least in most of the city, and the air is generally kind of hazy here, but it seems fairly clear inside this hotel. I've got about two meals worth of food, and some water. I'd have to take my mask off to eat, yeah, but I think you need prolonged exposure before you turn, but I don't know how long or anything.

I'd need to find transportation to get back to the bunker. I'm not even sure if I can get out of the city. Our transport is destroyed. We hadn't heard from anybody in months, like I said, so we figured there was no one left. We didn't intend to come out.

I am hearing you over the headset in my helmet. None of that stuff about whales or crows or anything makes any sense, but I guess I should just accept this and move on. Maybe you are ghosts or something. Who knows? At this point I'm exhausted and for some reason I am no longer interested in letting myself be killed.

Well, this must be the air vent...

>>91599

Is there something puddling on the ground there?

If not, try to open the air vent.

>>91599
Wait. Something's on the floor off to the left of the vent. A claw?

Be careful, soldier. Could be that a red picked up some gloves and a pen. Could be that someone in here is hoping to earn some gear for themselves the dirty way, or they were before the city went to shit. Listen careful before you make any moves.

>>91599
Air vents are never a good idea.
Try at least to find your own way to the generator.

Shit! Good eyes. There was a null down there!

Yeah, it could be a red. I don't know my way around this place at all though. I don't see any other doors down here, and the stairwell is concrete. There may have been other doors in the lobby, I don't really know. There was an elevator up there, but I doubt it works.

I don't hear anything, but I think I've accidentally made my presence known.

I'm open to suggestions at this point.

>>91620
Go in the vent.

Hey, are reds usually hostile? They can talk, you know.

Use the airvent, go in gun-first and be ready for anything.

>>91623
Maybe I'm stupid, did you ever actually say what reds are?
Cause if so I missed it.
Do you have any special skills or tools we should know about before you confront whatever wrote that note.
We can only really help if we know enough.

>>91620

Make sure your elven eyes are kept sharp and alert for danger.

Rip it apart. If you can identify its sex, all the better. If it was a lady, it could've written that note before everything went to pot.

Okay, this seriously seems like a worse and worse idea. crawling through here is extremely loud, there is no way I can do this sneakily.

This thing was just a null. I think it used to be male.

I haven't explained reds, but some of your buddy seem to know what they are. Some of the nulls peel apart like oranges and turn into reds. The reds are active all the time, and they can make the nulls around them active too. The Mantas collect them. I've never heard one talk. I knew they were smarter than nulls, but that isn't saying a lot.

I can see another vent up ahead. Should I try to peek though or just get out as fast as I can?

>>91644
Peek through first. Forewarned is forearmed.

Ok, now that I know about reds.
Shoot to kill if you see one.
They are clearly the enemy from what you just told me. Making nulls active for example.

Go fast, whoever is behind the vent already heard you.

>>91644
So was there a generic kneejerk military reaction akin to "NUKE EVERYTHING?"

if taking a peek won't endanger you then do it; otherwise just bust through

I'm gonna be cautious here. Okay, I don't see anybody.

The voice sounds strangely... wet?

>"Don't shoot. I t-think I have a way to escape... If I try to leave, the... the monster wants to grab me, but I have found a thing."

I hear something drip. Uh..

>>91687
I'm callin' it, it's a red. Whatever is in there.

>>91687
I told you the reds could talk. They're intelligent. It looks like there's a bunch of stuff between you and it, so try entering the room. It should be relatively safe.

Kill it, trust me on that. It's going to betray you.
And if there's actually something to see you can look at it without a hostile monster around.

>>91691
>>91703
How do you know reds are evil? They could just be trying to save their own, um, redness.

Talk more with the Red.

>>91705
They come from being Nulls. Who don't seem like the friendliest of things.

It can talk intelligently, this is good. Ask if it wants to attack you.

Oh Christ, we're sympathizing with the enemy now, are we? Trust me, soldier, it's us or them and don't you forget it. This one might be useful for now, but don't you start getting any wrong ideas. Don't give it your name and don't ask if it has one. Remember that it's these sonsofbitches who made this situation what it is.

Now get out of the vent and keep your guard up. There might be nulls around.

>>91707
True, but we came from apes, and if you've ever watched planet of the apes, you'd know that apes are assholes.

Do we even know it's a Red? I mean, it's got hair, it's talking intelligently, it isn't trying to eat you, look at those eyes...

Sure, there's a bit of red on it, but that could be blood. This is a dangerous town, after all.

>>91728

Man.. you guys are sharp. Yeah, its clearly a red. If it really does have a way out, though, I guess I'll keep from shooting it.

I've never actually seen the reds do anything except for get grabbed by the Mantas. We had no idea they were intelligent.

"Hey, Don't move, and don't try to attack. I've got a pistol, and I'm coming out of the vent. Tell me if there are any nulls around here."

>"I a-am hiding, from the blimp monsters. with tentacle. You help me, we c-can escape. Have found part of blimp-monster, think I c-can make it open hole in space. Need to b-bring it to roof. Need help. Can't drag it out to s-set up without blimp catching me. You d-drag out, I can make it open. W-we escape. D-disguise will not work long on blimp."

huh. okay. I have no idea how to approach this.

>>91729
No, no, no need for that yet.

Besides, wouldn't it be better to save ammunition? Go along with her for a bit. If you need to, stab her in the head.

>>91733
Okay. don't hurl. It's wearing a face.

Susan, what do you think? We've seen the Mantas pick Reds up, and it is telling the truth when it says it's being hunted.
We've also seen it go...
Nevermind. Just know that it will probably work. What's your thoughts Ms.Blackfeather?

let's go ahead and get out of the vent.

We should find out more about the red's motives.

I vote trust. While it is doing something disgusting and wearing a face, it needs you to get out of here alive.

Ask for more details, as to how it/the portal/blimp will help us escape. I am also inclined to say to trust him/her. As well, ask if she left a note for us upstairs. To confirm, compliment her on the beautiful thumbprint she/he left on the note.

>>91733
Okay, think of it this way: Imagine if you get her back to a lab. You could find out how this mist changes people. You could help find a cure.

How does being the woman that helped save humanity sound?

It makes sense that the reds might be afraid of the Mantas. We've always just shot them. It pulls ... something out of a box. I don't see what choice I really have, honestly.

>"This... you carry. Get on roof. Must be outside in mist to use. All blimps need mist to fly, to open, to make fire. A blimp was wounded. It fells. I t-took a piece. Can use to open gate. Blimps will spot me. Will grab. I wi-will not be grabbed."

There wasn't really a "nuke everything" moment because the mist started appearing everywhere. We didn't know it was harmful until it was far, far too late. Most of the world just looks abandoned, until all the corpses start standing up.

As for a cure, I don't know. The nulls are rotten. I don't think they would last long if they were brought back to life. It's worth a shot, though.

"You left the note, right?"

>"Y-yes. was hoping to find unaltered humans to help. I feel a s-song in my blood. C-can use the song to open hole."

Its got valuable info, so you'd best play nice for now. Make it spill the beans. Where does it think you'll be escaping to? What's it mean about a hole in space?

Nice MGS style handling of your weapons there.

The thing they don't tell you in video games or in basic training is that if anything were to cause you to fall forward that knife could go straight into your gut.

Of course if your "catch your fall with your hands" reflex is fast enough it doesn't matter.

Anyway, I'd take the red up on his deal. Just be reeeeeal careful about what happens.

>>91859

>>91859
So Susan? Are you going to try this, and see where it leads? If not, I'm sure we can work out something a lot less...bold. I don't trust the thing, for whatever reason.

This may not end well for you. This may lead to even worse troubles. However, this is a chance to learn a little about whats happening.

...Or find a way to destroy them all.

Ask it if it remembers anything from before

>>91884

I wonder how well that style would work with a Khukri?

Ask if it's willing to carry it up if it'll make any nulls stay back. You mentioned earlier the Nulls react to the Reds? Maybe it can do something about that. We'll be taking the stairs in this building. You go first, followed by the Red.

God knows if there are any Nulls (Or anything else) up there.

Look, does your suit have anything in the way of a SitRep or NavCom on it? It'd be useful to know now. We might have a bit... newer model. I think. Maybe older.

"So, where are we going to be escaping to?"

>"D-don't know. Away from here."

"Do you remember anything from when you were human?"

>"R-remember being bitten. Remember shadows. Like a dream. Staring at sidewalk. Moving, like p-pulled by a string, when unaltered humans came near. Whole time, w-was trying to wake up, to clear head. E-eventually, awakened with two others. Blimp comes. I hide. I run to as deep a p-place as can find. Make plan."

I was never formally trained by the military or anything. I learned tactics from playing video games. It's amazing I've lived as long as I have.

If I'm doing this, now is the time. I have to grab the wheel and run out to the middle of the roof. I've never seen nulls on a roof before, and the Mantas always ignore us. I am not sure what is about to happen, but if you have any ideas, now is the time to share. Am I doing this?

Dammit, Blackfeather, don't talk to it unless it's necessary. It might be intelligent, but it's still us and them. We'd all be better off forgetting what we just heard.

Make sure to refill your air before you do anything drastic. You're in for a bumpy ride no matter what happens.
