Sorrack agrees. "Those crabs could have eaten any manner of critical components crucial to the safe operation of the lift. Let's take the stairs."

OOC:
Oh yeah, almost forgot, since this is a new session, if any of you had spent any Destiny Points, those are also back."
You make your way back using the stairways. It seems in worse condition than last time as many new crab holes seem to have appeared. At one point, a section seems to have collapsed, but you could easily make the jump across or set some sort of rope bridge system. Since you have plenty of time now there there are no more self-destruct countdown, you manage, with some effort to cross that obstacle, and eventually make your way toward that large cylindrical room filled with stasis chambers. At the corner of the "L" shaped walkway, there is this computer terminal with one red blinking light. While at the end of the walkway, there seem to be a mechanical arm mechanism, probably used in the retrieving of stasis capsules...

"Oh ho ho ho! Think anyone is still alive in there? We're missing some crew still, right? Hmmm, let's look at this here." Sorrack examines the computer console, his bulbous fingers itching to just mash all the buttons, but he's smart enough not to do try that.

Nero speaks up.

"That's an interesting theory Puddles, but I doubt this will be the case. This place has been deserted for who knows long... Plus, keeping in mind that the computer called us "specimens" when we accidentally activated the self-destruct sequence, I think only the original inhabitants were putting people in stasis here. I guess one of the crew could have accidentally put themselves into stasis while playing with this console, but given they were chased by crabs at the time, I highly doubt it..."

So, are you trying to wake someone or are you continuing upstairs?
Feb 12, 2022 11:39 pm
Sorrack looks at the stasis pods. "Let's leave them, then. If they're not who we are looking for then they probably want to be there, plus we have no way to get them all off this planet. They're safer in there."
Feb 13, 2022 4:08 am
I agree they are safer here. We don't know enough to do it safely. We need to continue our way up.

"Up, up and away it is. How're you feeling Kandza?"
He asked the rescuee that he's supporting
"Hold on a bit longer; it's a long-ish climb up the stairs, but then you can rest. We can all rest."
Feb 13, 2022 3:46 pm
Kandza replies. "Starving and dehydrated, but otherwise, I'm fine. I guess the sooner I get back to the Dawn Star, the better..."

You make it up to the next floor. The emergency light have gone out this time around, and you can see the long corridor of glassed rooms better. The scent of antiseptics and disinfectants assault your nostrils.

"Stop sniffing, you meat bags, just close a membrane over your air intake things."

Sorrack sloshes down the corridor, looking in the glass cages for creatures that might be crewmembers.
Feb 13, 2022 5:47 pm
Nero starts protesting. "We don't have membra- never mind..." He then follows Sorrack into the corridor to the first two windows.
Feb 23, 2022 4:02 pm
The group carefully makes their way down the corridor, toward the first pair of doors. The western door seems to have been half melted, though the eastern door looks fine. Through the glass, which is not glass, but whatever material it's made of seems thick and reinforced, you notice both rooms are full of puddles of melted metal. Otherwise, the rooms look empty...

Well it seems the crabcakes did a number here as well. I think we should keep moving check things out quickly on our way up. I mean I want some good salvage like any girl but at this point getting off this planet is sounding better and better.
Mar 9, 2022 6:57 pm
Nero looks a bit confused.

"I thought exploring further was your idea... Hey, listen, I'm not complaining, both ideas sound good either way."
Mar 9, 2022 10:11 pm
"We're keeping an eye out for anything that we could use or that will clear out what the hells is this place about on our way up."

He pauses mid-hallway and takes a look around;

"And speaking of which..."

Mesec makes his way to about between the third and fourth pair of doors. He notices that in the 3rd room to the west, and 4th room to the east, there seems to be tables still standing with stuff on them. Rocks in the western room, and some sort of container in the eastern one.
Mar 10, 2022 3:09 am
"Oh, what did you find?" he says when he sees Mesec peering intently at something. "Hey, are those rocks? Rocks feel fun when I absorb them and they just sit in my pseudopods."
Mar 12, 2022 6:08 pm
"You can have the rocks if you fancy them my friend. I'll check that container over there. If it's more rocks, you can have them as well."

Mesec skips past Sorrack and enters the eastern room.
OOC:
need a roll Kal?
Mar 12, 2022 8:26 pm
Of course, because as you try to open the door, you realize it is locked.
Mar 13, 2022 4:57 pm
Mesec half-bumps on the door as it refuses to give way and open.
"Well, I'll be damned. Must be something good in that container for the door to be locked. Or dangerous with our kind of luck. Or both..."

Mesec stands there for a bit, looking at the door.
His eyes travel from the door to the knife in his belt and back.

"Does anyone have some explosives to spare perhaps? Just in case..."
