Oof. Fuck. Okay. Marginally more in control of where she's going now. Assuming the catwalk cooperates.

Permalink

It continues to hold firm, yes.

There is a cube tube above her head and a cube zooms through it as she straightens herself up.

Permalink

...Why would that system be running? Do the cubes have some other purpose?

Can she follow the tube?

Permalink

She can! It's running more or less parallel to the catwalk.

Permalink

Great. Where's it go.

Permalink

The catwalk winds around a few walls and eventually ends at a door.

Permalink

And what's behind the door?

Permalink

A shortish corridor and another door!

And behind that door a longer corridor with a windowed alcove to the right and then farther ahead some debris blocking the way forward and a branch to the right.

Permalink

Fun.

Permalink

The branch looks—stable, but somewhat deteriorated, with one of its sections not fully connected to the rest, sitting slightly askew. The windows along it show a very deep drop should it fall.

Permalink

She can jump the dodgy section.

Permalink

It's stable enough, and the door at the end of it opens to welcome her. On the other side: an extremely spacious chamber with lots of... destroyed machinery of some kind.

Permalink

Some kind of... master machine?

Permalink

Perhaps. It is, at any rate, completely inactive.

Permalink

She'd be happier if it were more completely dismantled, but she's not equipped for that right now.

Any ways out?

Permalink

Depends on what she means by "out." The plates serving as, ah, "walls" to this chamber are all rather tall even if they don't actually meet at the end or find a ceiling, so she could perhaps try to climb them. And a ways farther ahead, past the dirty water on the ground, behind a strange cylindrical contraption that looks a bit like an upside down, larger, metal version of the end of a cube tube, there are stairs leading down.

Permalink

Down is less than ideal but up doesn't really seem workable.

Permalink

There are only one and a half flights of the metal stairs, which are broken off from that point, and a less-deep-than-the-bottomless-pit drop to the ground down below.

Permalink

Fuck it, let's go.

Permalink

The landing is noisy.

The badly lit corridors take her to some more catwalks above the bottomless pit which eventually end in a circular... breaker room? It sure has lots of switches.

Permalink

Any of them labeled?

Permalink

All of them! So many labels! Main test chamber 1 light switch, main test chamber 1 light switch switch, main test chamber 1 light switch switch switch, main test chamber 2 override, main test chamber 2 light switch...

Permalink

"I hate everything about this place."

Anything exit/elevator/lift/door/escape hatch related?

Permalink

Not among the first fifty switches.

The pedestal in the middle of the breaker room reacts to her presence by extending a—metal rod towards her? Looks like it should be attached to something.

Permalink

Fuck this entire place. No, get out of here, rod. She slaps it away.
