Deleted because I bundled up two different lines somehow.

"Okay so stop me if you've heard this one but -"
"I swear to all that's holy, if this is a joke I'll shoot you right now"
Woah there, this guy doesn't seem to have any chill, can't take even a little joke.
These military types never do, if your previous experience with them back on earth is any evidence.
"Alright, alright. Here's all that I remember: waking up alone in the residential quarters, seeing your little notice on the elevator,
then merrily making my way here through a monster-infested station that was somehow empty."
"Alone you say?"
"Yeah why?" He doesn't seem to express any desire to respond, so you continue.
"How did I die anyway? none of you mentioned that."
"You were in a deep coma, the doctors said it'd take a long time to even have a shot at waking you up,
and attempting to transport you in that state would cost most of our medical supplies.
Hell, after the director died and the cultists took over what wasn't in necromorph hands we lost all hope - anyone could still be alive""
"So you left me?" 'And what the hell is a necromorph' though you do not say it out loud.
"Yes."
Well that's not a happy thought, knowing you were left - to - die, you at least hope your mates tried to argue against that.
"I wasn't really dead then was I?"
"No way someone can live 3 weeks in a coma while alone in a monster-ridden hellhole, kid"
"Your point being?"
"That you had to have help from someone, the cultists or the traitors."
"He ain't no cultist, damn he probably killed more of them than most of you" says one of your fellow officers, lowering his weapon.
"Or maybe you're just some fucking monster trying to fool us!" Interjects one of the more deranged civilians.
"Oh right, I guess what happened is some space zombie with great motherly instincts decided to adopt the orphaned cop to raise as her monster child, then sent me here to meet my real parents."
The military guy rubs his temples and appears to consider his options.
"Look. I'm willing to let you stay here. Ouside, at least until the doctors examine you."

"Fair enough" The men all move back into Engineering, with two exceptions.
The military men's leader, who introduces himself as Commander McCormick and your very own Sarge Anderson.
They instruct you to rest around the control point, and turn the turrets back online.
You consider talking while you wait for the medical team to arrive, but you're not sure if there's much to say.

The director

>>990975
>>Write-in

Ask what are the necromorphs and if they left him for dead, then who left a note saying this sector was safe?

You've got a couple of questions in mind, so might as well get some answers.
"The director, huh? Figured his position was the most secure in the entire station"
"It would be, but when we left to help in that communications hub mission his second in command took the opportunity to turn coat"
That must've been what he meant by traitors. Still, why would the aide help the people who probably want everyone dead?
"Now that that's out of the way, what are 'necromorphs'?"
"Long story short but apparently it's what the monsters are.
One of the doctors said he read the term on a study on some lunatic's delusions"
"Guess he wasn't that crazy then?" Or at least he was just the right kind of crazy to know the truth.
"Well, about that message you left back there"
"What message? You talked about it earlier but we didn't have time to do that when we were retreating.
"So it wasn't you who left the instructions for me to come here."
He goes silent, his eyes full of worry. "It wasn't us"
A few minutes pass in silence before the medical team arrives. And what a medical team, one doctor and... Carla?

ou decide to take everyone's minds off the current situation and into something productive.
"What do we do next?" Everyone seems a bit shaken at that question, except Carla who's avoiding looking at you.
"We secure our location, get whatever supplies we can and survive"
"That's your grand plan?"
"Yes. Gather, defend and stay alive"
Man that's depressing, it seems that these people have given up on fighting back, or at least their leader has.
Meanwhile, the doctor who was examining you wraps up and starts walking away.
"Where are you going?" The commander shouts.
"I- I was going inside"
"What about the report? What is wrong with him?"
"Th- there's nothing wrong. Sir." he pauses before deciding to add more information "He's just a regular human. A bit injured but normal"

"See? I'm no monster though I tell monstrously good jokes."
McCormick shakes his heads and motions for everyone to get inside, you included.
Carla waits for you to go so she can approach you, she looks a bit different though you can't exactly pinpoint how.
"Hey Phil -" she hesitates for a bit, then sighs and continues "I'm really sorry I got you in that mess.
And I'm sorry we left you behind. I tried to convince them to take you but..."

Wasn't really her fault. We did agreed to it.

"No harm done, they did what they had to, and it's not really your fault that I agreed to a mission like that."
She looks a bit comforted by you taking it well, which you're pleased by.
During the apocalypse you might as well keep people's spirits up, otherwise everyone turns into a gloomy asshole.
Once inside Sarge and Carla volunteer to show you around, while the commander just promises to investigate
the circumstances that led you to remain alive then returns to whatever duties he has.
As you walk around the place you understand why they feel comfortable just standing around.
There's lots of parts and machines, a sizeable amount of military supplies, clean water directly from the recycling system,
a makeshift hydroponic plantation that you assume had most of it's parts relocated here from the actual hydroponics,
hell they even remembered to fortify the ducts and set up a checkpoint system for all areas.
The place is a fortress, and with a grand total of (according to your rough estimate) a hundred people it should be easily defensible,
even if most are civvies.

"About my injuries..."
"Kid, you looked like you were executed via firing squad.
There were enough holes in you that we considered using you as a sponge"
"That bad eh?"
"Worse. But the omega doctor who worked on you did miracles, and it allowed the surgeons to stabilize your condition.
Well, enough that you were not dead, just in a deep coma. They said you'd take long to wake up, if ever. You know the rest"
He stops and tells Carla and you to sit at a table in the main courtyard of their hideout, then goes talk to some tattooed civvie.
"So what happened next is I woke up alone in a station devoid of monsters.
The last part is worrying me, do you know anything about it, Carla?"
She shrugs, seems to be looser and more capable of facing you than before
"I guess the necromorphs just vanished two days ago. No one really knows where they went."
"Creepy"
At that the sargeant returns, handing each of you a bottle of beer.
"Hope you weren't talking about my associate there. Cheers"
You take a few sips. Damn thing is hot. Guess the one thing they haven't got is extra space on their fridge.
"Staying put and just surviving."
"Yep." the sargeant doesn't seem to be very happy about the mere mention of the idea
"I guess you dont agree with it?" Carla interjects.
The sargeant turns to face her, the bags under his eyes bigger than ever, as he juggles the already empty bottle on his hands. "Whatever he thinks, I'm against it and you know it.
We should be out there trying to find a way to escape."
"Should we? I mean, the distress signal failed, we don't even know if the hangar has any ships left, and we're outnumbered completely."
her face really shows how distressed she is over the situation, barely looks like the cheery lying agent you met before.

With the communications hub mostly destroyed there is no way we could try a second time.
"What's that about the hangar being empty?" You remember there being an explosion, but not that ships left.
"The first wave of unitologists attacked the place, damaged it pretty bad with their bombs and killed most of security.
Then for some reason they started leaving in the ships.
Everyone alive fell back and relayed that intel to us, hence why there was no attempt to evacuate."
"But why would they steal a bunch of ships? I mean, they had a mission here so why would they leave?"
None of this adds up.

"We should investigate further, any clues?"
"Well, I'd first check the laboratories, the cultists seem to have wanted something there according to survivors,
plus it was the last place they struck before they raided the residential quarters and moved us back here"
"Oh yeah, I remember we walked past that one didn't we, Carla?"
"You idn't really have the time to worry about that while trying to save our asses, Phil." the sarge interrupts.
"I'm off to get some rest, if you want I'll show you the bunks"
"Sure, let's go."
"Hey, Philip." Carla holds you back "If you go out there, I'll go with. I owe you."

>>991187
>>Sure, we're one big necromorph-hunting familiy

Also, while they clearly have experience dealing with terrorist scum, how good is their necromorph experience? You were quick to adapt to their behavior and with your quick mind managed to find about their weaknesses and strengths, but what about everybody else? Have they learned during those days you spent in coma to deal with those monsters? You don't want to repeat the same experience you had with your squadmates dying because the necros were a new and unknown menace

>>991203
To clarify, do you want to ask if they're now good at fighting these things or did you just want to mentions those quite important concerns to the other players?

>>991206

Ask our character's allies if they are cool with dealing with the known necro types so far and if they are adaptable enough to deal with special necro types, like that regenerative type you had to blow with two grenades.

>>991213
"Sure, we're one big necromorph-hunting familiy"
you can't help but smile, thinking back to how things were before this whole mess.
Or maybe you're just really batshit crazy. Either way, the thought of finally having folks who stick with you is good.
"Kinda important question I just thought of, though. Do you guys know how to handle these 'necromorphs' now?"
They look at each other then back at you. "We've basically been doing what you were. Dismember and destroy as much as possible"
"No problem shooting babies or the ones that refuse to die?"
"Not really, it took a while but you get used to the thought of killing dead people" says Sarge.
"Good. Great really! Now let's go rest, I just slept for 3 weeks but I still another one"
The sarge leads you to a hidden bunker made in the underground of the air-recycling area, apparently the new 'apartments' of the station.
You sleep well, surprisingly no nightmares, whispers or insanity tugging at the back of your mind.
When you wake up the Sarge leads you back to the same spot as the day before, this time a few more people await you.
"Carla worked last night in getting us a few extra volunteers, in case you're interested."
He motions to your fellow officer, Gomez. "This little fella you already know, no introductions needed."
Next up is a short bald engineer whose RIG looks ancient. "The former chief of engineering, Julius, retired but a bright fellow"
Finally someone wearing a security RIG painted in white "Doc Samson, he was a combat medic and is also the guy who operated on you"

“Sounds good, but I want to make sure those staying will be fine without us here.”
“They'll be fine. What worries – me – is that you've decided to take it upon yourself to organize a mission without consulting me first”
You turn around, the commander standing behind you, hands crossed over his chest.
“The people with you aren't essential, but I can't risk losing anyone else on another suicide mission”
“Look it's just an investigation, there's no need to be a pain about this McCormick”
“It's voluntary too, no one's here against their will.”
“Regardless, my mission is to keep the survivors safe and ensure that we outlive the threats to our well-being”
This guy is really delusional if he thinks waiting around is a sound strategy.
You notice the other military men are joining behind him, along with some enforcers.

Staying here will only lead to us eventually running out of supplies and die due stress, dehydration and hunger. And that's if no one goes mad from being isolated here first.

If there's even a slim chance of finding a way to contact with more survivors and obtain a ship, I'm willing to risk my life for it. Besides, we will be cleaning the way so it is necro and cultist free, so either way is a win-win situation for everybody.

“If there really is a ship then you'll find it and report it immediately. Understood?”
“Uh. Yes. Yes sir.”
The man calls his men and departs back to wherever it is he spends his time in.
“Who died and made him boss?”
“The director”
“Oh right.”
You and the new team leave the engineering sector, making sure to temporarily disactivate the turrets so you can catch the tram.
Six people, you, Carla, Anderson, Gomez, Julius and Samson. Probably enough for a mission like this.
And a pretty diversified team in terms of skills means you're unlikely to find some problem you can't tackle.
“Alright where to first?” says Sarge while messing with the tram controls.

“Get us to the Hangar”
“Alright” he says as he selects the destination on the controls.
-
After making your way through the completely undefended first levels you arrive at the hangar itself by elevator.
The group splits into three and you check the area, never straying too far from the others.
No ships seem docked anywhere, and everywhere you look there's nothing but dust and remains from those not so lucky.
You come across some of the bombed sections but there's not of much use there,
at some point it's clear nothing is out of the ordinary other than the 'just went through hell' look of the place,
so you decide to gather everyone and move towards the hangar's control room.
That's when you finally got some action.
“Fuck there's snipers in there”
“Odds one of them is the same from three weeks ago?”
“Not very high we killed a bunch of these at the apartments battle.”
Your crew has taken cover. The doctor and the engineer don't have great long range capacity,
meanwhile the three officers, you, Gomez and Sarge all have pulse rifles.
Carla is still using the seeker rifle she looted from the cultist hideout.
>Battle plan?

As for the layout, you're in a lower area using the 'railguards' as cover, the hangar control is further ahead going up a service elevator, inside a "tower"

You decide to lure their fire by running to cover closer to the tower.
A hail of fire comes down upon you, it seems the snipers aren't alone up there.
To help you with that Sarge and Gomez lay suppression fire on the tower.
Thankfully you're fast enough to avoid taking any hits, and get just in time to see Carla take her shot.
“One down” she shouts. The engineer and the medic don't seem able to do much,
their shots just waste ammo and hit wildly off target, mostly due to how a great a distance there is.
You look to the side and see two cultists rush to the service elevator. Promptly you take them down with pulse rifle fire.

'Time for the topical application of explosives' you think as you throw a grenade upwards without leaving cover.
Now that you think about it, you didn't care to aim first, not that it mattered.
Two cultists are thrown off from the tower, another you can hear scream in pain upstairs.
No more shooting coming down from it, which indicates it's clear.
You and the others take the service elevator and head inside.
Place is kind of a mess now that a grenade blew inside it, but thankfully the important equipment is mostly intact.
Carla and the engineer go check the computers while Sarge and Gomez secure the entrance and the windows.
The doc goes to check on the screaming cultist.

You try to get some intel out of him, but much to your surprise he starts biting his own tongue.
That's one way to make sure you don't speak, specially since he dies soon after choking on his own blood.
The doctor is speechless at the act, probably used to people who want to get better instead of dying.
“Philip, I got something” Carla motions for you to approach her workstation
“See, these are the computers that control the entire docking system. As I was talking to Julian the whole thing basically tracks the ships close enough to the station and logs their movements.”

“The ships, Phil, they're all here. At least that's what the system is saying.”
“Clearly they aren't.” You point to the empty docks and frown while considering just how a ship leaves while staying.
“Maybe they've just been moved.”

“Next stop, unfinished sector 10!” you announce to the crew.
“We're going back there? I knew I should've packed some air cans” says Gomez
Sarge replies: “Cheer up, at least everyone is wearing a RIG this time”
“And hopefully no jacked mutant necromorphs show up, again”
“I'm pretty sure I took care of that one, Carla”
“You never know with these things”
The doctor and the engineer seem a bit horrified by the prospect of another breed of necromorph, but not exceedingly so.
Not long after you reach the site, again empty. At least he first few bits.
You go through the areas you had already passed before, up until the section with the airlock.
This time you decide to go through the lower area and proceed through there.
It's mostly empty, unfinished station blocks and lots of construction material.
Everything in this damn station has just been so quiet that it's driving you mad.
'Or maybe you are mad' you think as your group exits the latest airlock, all the stolen ships facing you, they're all 'docked' on a long metal path that looks recently built.
“Turns out those ships really – really – were here”
“Guess this is our way out”
“Wait-” something feels wrong about this, something is very very wrong.
“Hey the doors on that one are opening” Gomez points to the ship closest to your location.
“Prepare to engage the... by gods NO! RUN!”
A swarm of necromorphs hurries out of the ship and heads towards you. There must be at least thirty.

“Retreat! Through the airlock!” The team fires while moving back.
Most of the team only manages to get one or two enemies down during movement, despite Carla, Sarge and Julius wasting grenades.
Funnily, grenades don't arc while in space, maybe that's what made their aim so damn off.
You however stick to tried and true shooting, taking down three leapers and two regular uggos on your own.
One of the baby-looking ones jumps to the side of the airlock and tries to spit at you,
but you grab him by the tendrils and swing him down with enough force to turn him to mush.
As you enter the airlock you retreat further, into the corridor it connected to. Soon you hear noises from the vents and the necros start joining the party.

Shooting these charging necros in a hallway like this is almost like stealing candy from kids.
Not that you ever stole candy from kids to know it was easy, just a figure of speech.
The entire team does well in such circumstances, altough Doc and Gomez are hit by those damned babies,
everyone takes at least three of the wankers down. But the real stars? You and Julius.
With your brutality in firing that pulse rifle and the wide beams of his plasma cutter you rack up at least ten kills each.
By the end of it you're all running a bit low, but despite the reprieve of the necromorph onslaught more seem to be coming in through the vents.

You all retreat into the previous room and wait for the next wave.
Everyone performs well. You set Sarge and Gomez on the flanks to stop any necros from jumping on you from the lateral vents.
Doc and Julius get back and protect the rear, while Carla just ahead snipes the entrance.
You take the middle point and help as necessary. Initially that means “just shoot the door”, but eventually it turns into “try to fight enemies from all sides”.
Happily for your entire crew after three waves you are merely surrounded by gored dead bodies, rather than being gored dead bodies yourselves.
The entire team performed exceptionally, missing few shots and hindering enemy mobility through dismemberment.
Or so you think, but as you try to fall back once more the party is interrupted by a... group of fat necromorphs coming from behind you?

You've got a bad feeling about those bloated bellies.
Putting all your strength on your legs you charge against the beasts,
popping out your shield at the last minute you crash against them and somehow send them down on the next room's floor.
The crew jumps over them and retreats further into the room, taking their firing positions.
“Phil get your ass over here”
You can hear their words but the bloodlust is numbing your mind.

You head for melee with the stake, impaling one of the monsters' legs,
then pushing until you tore through it, then finishing him by ripping up his belly.
It did feel good, but soon you regret it as the monsters 'kids' jump out of his now gored stomach,
proceeding to chew on your armor and spew what you believe is acid all over you.
Your mates shoot up the remaining preggos, adding swarmers to the little party you're having.
They probably didn't intend to do that, but there's not much they can do now, so they focus on killing the necros coming from the vents and from the corridor.
Except Carla, she rushes to your side and starts stomping on the little critters.
You try to do so as well but it's hard when you can barely see anything.

Seems like it's the other way around.

jokes aside, 15 is still pretty good.

Time for some close quarters combat. Putting your entire body's weight on your shield-arm you throw yourself down, smashing dozens of the little necros.
Next you retract the shield and proceed to roll and crush every necro you can get your hands on.
With Carla helping drawing half away and killing them you're soon free of any danger.
Meanwhile the rest seem to be doing decently, they've been holding out at the fire line, where you soon join them at.

He was replyin to the previous update though, it's fine

Also need 10 min for some personal business. Writing ASAP, gentlemen.

Damn this place and damn these necros. “Everybody, run the hell outta here, we've done enough”
After some time fighting the few necromorphs that managed to reach you, the party reaches the elevator and settles down.
“That was intense” Carla says, you sense a tinge of excitement
“Shame I didn't get to kill more” replies officer Gomez
“Well, I'm sure now that they're free again you'll get plenty of opportunities”
“Always the pessimist, Sarge”
While you're making your way back to the tram a straggler of the necromorph horde jumps from the ceiling vents right over you, pinning you down.
The party makes quick work of it, everyone focusing fire on it's torso to avoid hitting you.
“Well, I do feel like I look better in red” you say while covered in rotten blood.
A few laughs, most of it feels like it comes from the sheer happiness of surviving this whole mess rather than the silly comment.

“To engineering! We need to tell them what we've found out.”
“Aye aye Captain” says Carla in a mocking tone.
“What?”
“Oh get a sense of humour Philip” as if you don't have one.
Back in the base you call McCormick on comms and wait for his deactivation of the turrets.
Rather than freak people out with your 'battlepaint' as you've decided to call it since you can't wash it off, the commander decide to greet you at the gates.
“What do you have to report, soldiers?”
“Well, first I've got to tell you, I'm not a soldier I'm just a cop”
“We're all soldiers now” yeah, whatever you say old man.
“First of all, you might need to get ready because the necros are out and about again.”
“How did that happen?” he seems like he expected the necros to return at some point, but is still confused about the whole 'disappearing' act.
“That's where the good news comes in. We found the ships at the unfinished construction site.”
“Sector 10? We need to head there immediately and begin evacuation!”
“No, no no, wait. Here's the thing: the necros came FROM the ships. I don't know how or why but they were all inside them. That's why the station was empty.”
“But how is that even possible?”
“Honestly? No clue.”
He seems to ponder on the new intel as he walks in circles, before turning back to you.
“See if you can find anything on how they got there, why, and if the cultists have anything to do with that.
I'll begin setting up our preparations to invade the ships. You need any ammo, explosives, improvised weapons, guns, ask it and I'll try my best to get them”

second this man, the only think i think we need is to get more ammo for ourselves, least our guns anyway since having more then two guns kinda spreeds out ammo to much. Also thought we only had 8 slots used since the shield didnt count as one last time I checked. Do we still have that necro limb?

>>992525
In the game the soldier rig has twice as much resistence and a lot more inventory cap, I think.

In the quest, soldier rig is also better.

You were at 9 because of the extra ammo.

Assume he just finds a hole to put it in.

Are we going to assume that the two rigs that are being taken off are going to the to civi with the 8 slot rigs? Least I think it would be better for them. Not sure resistance wise

>>992544
Ok. Thought didnt know that we had extra ammo on us.

>>992551
Well, not assuming, I'll do it if you ask.
To make it clearer, it's 12 for the soldier, 10 for sec, 8 for the one's Carla and Julius are wearing.

I kinda am expecting use to use the IEDs that we have somehow when we head on out. Are they the general purpose ones or the ones that you have to set up beforehand? And this was kinda just a list of what i knew was still there. Not sure what was taken from the pile yet. The doc should have extra ammo for flame thrower but was not sure.

>>992678
IEDs are timed and while you haven't tested them IC they pack a bigger punch than grenades and mines.

Also gonna wait and see if anyone wants to help break the tie.
I know super open ended stuff is hard to decide on hence why I remade the list for clarity and asked everyone keep to a list format.

It's quite early too, in terms of how long I can keep going so we have time.

>>992695
Ok. Also my little list was based on what should have been added to >>992637

>>992670
>>992637
Ill switch to this too keep things going but might i suggest we take those air canisters. Never know when we'll need them

>>992714
Okay, gonna get my coffee and write for this unless another vote comes while I do so.

>>992637
I want us wearing a Soldier Rig, Philp can have our Secruity one?

>>992747
We are philip

>>992747
Philip = us.
I know he's hearing voices but he's not dissociative enough for assigning himself two different armors yet!
>unless you roll a 1 on a sanity check

>>992757
>>992755
WE ARE? FUCK ME.

>>992757
That just terrifies me. Have you been rolling sanity checks when we are not looking? Also I just realized something. Where the hell is Issac at? I know carla called us that earlier and we ignored it but shouldnt he be here?

>>992776
This is a smaller station, he's at Titan, but I'm hoping we'll get to a point where it all becomes whole connects soon enough.

>>992784
Is this the fucking wide-scale uprising they tried and failed at before the SECOND one that got earth nommed?

>>992784
Ok, didn't realize we are on a different one. Also I noticed how you ignored the sanity check question, anyway doesn't really matter we are currently alive and doing decently well in this situation....


I just jinxed us didn't I?

Rolled 6 (1d20)

>>992795
I don't know anon, did you?
Maybe you've brought good fortune to us all.

>>992794
If you mean this is an attempt before the big incident that caused the war and then led to the whole "lol look those are zombie moons coming for us", yes, that's exactly right.

Anyway I'm done adjusting ammo and inventory, I've also taken the liberty of using anon's suggestions (such as air cans) and giving the characters some extra stuff they might like to fill those slots.
I'm sure you'll enjoy the extra firepower anyway.

>>992809
Once more into the breach boys (and carla).

Also wonder how the rookie is, the one that lost his leg at the start of this.

The team readies itself for war. Ammo, healing, air cans, extra guns, hell you even loot a couple of armors.
At the end of your little scavenging party at the hideout's armory the little team looks more like a warband.
Everyone is at full health and carrying as much as they can, so you figure it's time to headout.
On the way to the exit you see the omega folks organizing the survivors, giving out equipment and instructions.
Trying to turn civilians into warriors isn't a great plan, but it might be the only thing that'll give you a fighting chance.
Once you're back at the tram station you still have to decide your next move.

He's doing better than the average citizen in the station. died without turning

>Maybe we could scout the alternative routes the survivors can use in the construction center?
Save the civvies

>>992842
>>Check the Lab, you need to understand the cultists' plans in depth

It is a bit too convenient the cultists are attacking during a necro outbreak, time to find in-character the link between the madmen and the undead

>>992842
>>992867
second. Plus I worry that the cultists may have rigged the ships to blow if we use them

We need a big ass metal sword we fashioned out of a support beam or something and start sending "them" to their paradise.

>>992895

Dual wield it with a plasma saw nicknamed "miss betsy" because we are clearly a bit delusional after so many whispers

>>992895
Maybe a necromorph bladed zweihander?
We monster hunter now.

>>992842
>Check the Lab, you need to understand the cultists' plans in depth

“To the labs then! Maximum speed ahead.”
“The tram only has one speed, Phil”
“Yes I know, hence anywhere you send it to is at maximum speed, Carla.”
“You two share the same brain condition, you know that right?” Sarge is such a bummer.
“I kinda enjoy it, it helps keep my mind off the whole 'everyone is dead or dyin' deal” man Gomez is even worse.
The engineer and doc aren't still very comfortable sharing a lot, so they just watch your silly conversations.
You do notice the doctor looks at you sometimes though, almost as if he's evaluating you or something.
Reaching the labs you face a scene slightly worse but similar to the one you came across before.
Many cultist bodies, a couple security bodies, and a whole lot of dead necromorphs.
“So should we just barge in or do we knock first?”
“You know the drill, shoot anything that moves and can't say 'hi' without following up with 'brains' or 'have you hear the word of our lord and savior?' “
The crew moves past the station and into the control point without much of an issue.
There you're faced with a choice.
“Biolab, Physics, Hydroponics, Cryolab, Military, wonder which to hit first?”
>Pick a sub-section to head for

>>992895
>>992909
>>992918
Well if you play your cards right, it's doable.

>>992923
>Cryolab

>>992923
>Military

Maybe we can find better gear for the rest of the group or to resupply later

>>992923
>Military.

>>992923
>>992933
second. At least if it has supplies we can use it as a fallback position.

>>992923
>Military
This way we can see whats been taken and what we may have to face.

“Military.” you finally say, after a minute of deliberation.
“We could find some nice toys there, or maybe just get some supplies, set up a fall-back line.”
Sarge nods in agreement “It'd be nice if they had some kind of superweapon that could solve all our problems”
“Okay now, don't be silly”
The team heads into the elevator and sets it to the military area.
You arrive at what seem to be a series of offices,
the hallway's signs indicate the actual experiments occur in labs further ahead.
In general the place seems mostly untouched, aside from the regular mess of an apocalypse.
>Check some offices? What're you looking for?
>Get to the labs
>Write-in

>>992973
>>Check some offices? What're you looking for?
Time to be paranoid. See if there is a list of what should be in the lab.

>>992973
>Check some offices? The higher ranking guys and the ones who did what, along with what happened in the lab.

“Let's check these offices for anything important regarding the experiments and the VIPs that worked around here.”
-
Man, checking people's emails is fun, it's hilarious how much weird shit you can find.
Some dude Gareth kept sending dick pics to his secretary, who never replied once,
another guy was saving tons of weird unitologist pics and sharing it with everyone, every single day.
Most of the stuff around here makes you think these people never worked.
Then again, you didn't even bother looking for anything useful, you really suck at it so you just let Carla and the rest do the heavy lifting.
It's only fair considering who does the hard bits during combat.
-
You've all spent about 15 minutes gathering as much information before joining up again in front of the experimental labs' entrance.
“Alright, I got nothing” at least you're honest.
“I've got a list of weapons, but most of it's just heavy-duty stuff for use in space, some of which purely theoretical” making you glad to bring this engineer guy along.
“I found a study on an invisible RIG, which was apparently very recently dropped due to a lack of budget” Carla informs.
“Well, I got nothing either. Except for their coffee stash, it's that way if anybody's wondering” Gomez points to the kitchen, what a genius.
“All I've encountered was on the use of advanced genetic modification for soldiers, all theoretical or very early experiments” reports Doc
“I found a suit. A big, mean, suit.” says Sarge

Good for you?

So long as the group sticks together and we do those step by step then yes. (Sarge looks like he needs some coffee, poor guy aint rested in ages)

>>993161
Yes. Stay together

>>993161
No No, Coffee break last. Its reward for a job well done.
