Is there cell reception? If yes, will call Piper for guidance with the terminal. If no, Felix will cautiously just try it himself anywa (unless Logan or Walter stop him).

OOC:
Assuming you take out your phone to check and see if you have reception. If so, it does have Reception.

Felix holsters his gun and takes out his smartphone to video-call Piper. When she answers, he shows her the computer terminal.

"What do you make of it, P?"

Waiting for Felix to make his call Logan nervously walks the muddy boot prints. He have came to conclusion: holding breath wouldn't help. So he is breathing slowly and trying to recall physics lessons... could it be ultra sound? Radiation?

Suddenly he stops for a second, then start running - Logan goes to check each char and computer: touches them: does any feel warm. Sniff them. Does it looks like they have been used/occupied recently?
OOC:
I assume young man has never seen rotary telephone before, so he would be investigating them as devices of unknown purpose.

Your Video-Call to Piper does not go through... Instead the Atlas Logo appears in the middle of your phone screen.

Underneath the logo subtitles scroll and a robotic voice message is played.
"THE RECEIVING AND SENDING OF VIDEO OR VOICE COMMUNCATION IS NOT ALLOWED WITHIN THE ATLAS WAREHOUSE FACINITY. ALL TRANSMISSIONS ARE BEING MONITORED, TRACKED AND RECORDED.
There is a few second delay then the message repeats but the Logo stays on your screen.
OOC:
@GreyWord Perception check please.

My shifting feature only lasts for one minute. If you don't mind I'll roll this perception check with advantage and we say Logan turns back to normal right after sniffing the chairs.

Rolls

Perception (advantage) - (2d20H1+3)

(19) + 3 = 12

The chairs and desk are stainless steel cold. The Mouse, Keyboard, and phone appear to be used often. There is no dust or smudges of grim anywhere.
What you do smell is a the musty hint of some Old Spice cologne.

Walter feels his confidence returning as he takes steps back towards the containers, avoiding his own puke puddle as he does so.

There, he sees what the two other men have seen, of what looks to be an office space. He is also curious as to what Piper might advice back, but when the voice that replies back isn't her, he flinches to attention to what is happening on Felix's phone. With a rapid, silent gesture of his hand swiping horizontally across his neck, he mouths the word "Cut!" to Felix.

Logan try to find power on button on a flat screen. He is surprised the placein the middle of nowhere has electricity . He would also like to see if and how many wires the screen has and where it is going to.

Felix curses under his breath and hurriedly switches his phone off. He removes the SIM for good measure. All of his training is screaming to abort mission, but his curiosity—not to mention desperation to rescue David—win out in the end.

Gesturing for Walter to keep a lookout, Felix helps Logan investigate the workstation.

Investigation Expert +6 (Minimum=21) - (1d20+6)

(16) + 6 = 22

There is no Wires connected to the mouse, keyboard, and monitor. There is no button to turn on the Monitor either.
OOC:
Are you all in one shipping container?

OOC:
Since Felix helps Logan, two of them are obviously in one container at some moment. So I believe this is question to @RoAries - does Walter Schneider join our investigation, stay out or visit the other container?

OOC:
Walter witnessed Felix's attempt to call Piper, and urged Felix to cut the call when the weird transmission came in. So unless Walter went out after that, I think yeah, all in the same container.

This is a (hopefully) simple puzzle. When you guys are examiningthe computer and phone do you touch it as if to wake it up at all or were you just looking around.
Nov 2, 2022 1:43 pm
OOC:
Definitely moving the mouse and hitting the spacebar for starters.

As the mouse is wiggled the keyboard and mouse wake up.
The keyboard's keys all glow softly white and the mouse does the same.
The screen however stays off and black.

Logan certainly tried to lift Screen, because he has never seen a screen running on battery. Is it is not connected to the table he is sure it is a fake screen and ... most logical I could think of is:

Logan just breaks a screen, crashing it against a wall - just to see what is inside

"Whoa! Calm down, kid! Either these machines get us into whatever underground bunker or whatever's hidden out here, or they hold nformation we need." Good thing the kid only broke the monitor. Felix looks around for the hard drive.

I was going to give you guys a chance to stop him from breakingthe Monitor if want to try. Contested Dex check.
