As Sorrack is starting to look around for a note the occupants might have left themselves, Nero starts punching "numbers" at random. This is when you hear the doors through which you went through close up and all the monitors on the consoles along the windows light up, all lights will come on, and every screens will blink a message in the same alien language. Below this message, even more alien symbols appear, but those seem to change with each passing seconds... In the meantime, a small panel opens up on the armrest of the chair, and a small needle slides out.

OOC:
Does that and such look like it is something you pick up or is it an injection system?

OOC:
Just like an injection system... or perhaps a sample collector? Hmm, who will give it a try...

Does the syringe/needle look like it is empty or wanting to be filled.

OOC:
Hard to say. It's just a needle, not a syringe.

Nero decides someone has to take the needle and decides it has to be him, and he sits on the chair in the right way to let himself be the target. Lets hope this isn't fatal.

Sorrack grips a little bit of his skin and twists. A moment later he is holding a small sphere filled with liquid. He bounces it in his palm and then offers it to the group.

Sam watches what is taking place to see what was done so she can repeat it if works and know what not to do if Nero kicks the bucket.

Nero asks, What is that? as he awaits the NEEEDLE of infinity to strike him.

The needle is not striking Nero, it seems to be waiting for Nero (or perhaps Sorrack) to prick himself on the needle.

Nero feeling bold will pick himself with the needle to see what it will do. He watches the other as he is doing it just incase he can't feel in changes and they can see them.

Nero pricks himself on the needle which then retracts. The screen then switches to three language. The strange alien language you do not understand, some sort of strange archaic language which might be one of the many source languages for Terran (as human characters will recognize a few words here and there), and an old form of Galactic Common (still recognizable for what it is).

The message reads as follows:

"Specimen, you have lost your way. Please return to the lower levels for your comfort. We appreciate your curiosity, but your security is paramount. Please seek an administrator to abort the self-destruct sequence."

After a minute or so, so you all have time to read and absorb the message, the screen changes back to the strange alien symbols, which keeps changing every second or so... Some sort of countdown? How long do you have left?

Nero says with a new understanding, I think we have explored enough here now. Lets get the body out of here.

Ok time is up, unless someone knows a way to shut that down?

Trudy shrugs his best robot shrug. His blaster comes out of his arm, and he aims it at the computer. He looks to Sam for authorization.

hold up a second Trudy but you are the backup plan.

Samantha tries to see if she can find a way to shut it down.
OOC:
I think it would be a int check based on technical skill which is -10 with robotics so it would be a -20 for non specialization but a 0 check if it was robotics, if I am thinking correctly.
edit: nope no clue so i am willing to blast it and run

Rolls

Int with Tech skill (75-20) - (1d100)

(99) = 99

OOC:
Yep, exactly.
Sam attempts to shut down the self-destruct sequence, but on an alien computer, which alien controls, using an alien language... Sam starts pressing buttons at random but very little happens... Wait, what that a floor plan? Quick, go back, go back! How do I go back?
Apr 15, 2021 2:02 pm
Sorrack watches Sam as she presses the random buttons. He wonders if she will manage to find the back button. He isn't confident he'll be able to outrun a self destruction blast. He isn't that good at running.

Nero is more then just worried as he has already edged to the way out! But is holding a moment to get reduced to dust.
Apr 16, 2021 12:10 am
OOC:
Oh, crap, I forgot, a double, this was a critical failure.
You see the floor plans wiz by on the computer screen, and then *CLONK!* You're in the dark, with no power and no lights.
