Ronna lingers behind, instinctively waiting for others to enter first. She keeps a close eye on Nyom, silently refusing to believe that her powers couldn't help her.

Nyom enters the lift and while waiting for the others to enter starts trying to determine how it is controlled.

OOC: Once everyone is in, she'll have the lift take us down...
Aug 12, 2015 10:21 pm
Yep, Lucas turn left in order to finalize Turn. Once he does it, Nyom could try to activate lift as additional action in same turn, because all anyways will wait for her.

Lucas takes one last look at the world before they venture into the great beyond.

All the party already in the lift. Now it's Nyom turns to attempt to activate it.
Aug 13, 2015 9:28 pm
Rubbing her head, Nyom asks the others if they're ready.

"Let's see what I can do."

Doing her best to concentrate she closes her eyes and tries to access the intelligence that was communicating with her before. "Uh, down, please..

At first there was silence. All the party watching Nyom standing with closed eyes, with hopes that it could bring some change, move, and unveil the way to riches of this numenera construction, and to better things, at least better than they were till this moment.

Then was loud "Whiiiiz!" And the door appeared, blocking the party from the sunlight, and leaving them in darkness.
Second after another opening at opposite side of lift camera appeared, opening way to dim green light. There was not big room. It had some screens with alot of moving stuff. Different symbols, arrows. Points. At right side there was somthing resembling two-floor bed.
There was locker under the screens, and between locker and screens, on the wall... or in the air near the wall was floating some kind of control pannel.

DISCOVERY REWARD 1 XP TO EACH MEMBER.
Pls update

New turn.

Ronna slips into the room between the bigger bodies of others, and steps in front of the screens. Her eyes dart back and forth, slightly squinted, as she takes it all in, tries to understand what she is seeing.

Mandoric lets his eyes adjust to his surroundings, and then cautiously approaches the control panel, attempting to understand its workings.

Lucas tries to connect with the objects around him. In such an unfamiliar place perhaps the objects themselves remember how they are to be used. He goes up to the control panel and without touching any buttons, rests his hand on the device and opens his mind.

Nyom stumbles out, holding her head. "Damned voices!" She'll spend her action making a recovery roll.

Zinobia, being big lover of things numenera, also, with exited face expression approached the control pannel.

Giving team result for all numenera checks.
Nyom is no longer impaired.


The control pannel signs are uncomprehencible.....
One of the screens clearly shows mapping of surrounding landscape, while other shows something like balls on the circles, rotating around another ball, and different arrows.

Therre 3 more screens.
3rd shows some old-world language text. It's changing and morphing all the time.
4th shows different squares and blocks with markings on them, 5th have only one message written in the middle of the screen.

The locker is closed. Nothing happens after group entered the room. It may contain interesting stuff. It have some messages written on its walls.

The beds are looking special. They have different small blocks attached to them.

Also seemingly Nyom may posses access to some of functionalities of this room.


New round.

Mandoric tries to understand the writing on the fifth screen, and on the locker.

Feeling a bit better, Nyom will approach the control panel and see if she can make any sense of it.

Lucas goes to inspect the beds and the small blocks attached to them.
Aug 16, 2015 7:07 am
Ronna joins Mandoric in trying to decipher the texts. "What do you reckon? Could this be related to that and…"

Providing open results for anyone except Nyom.

Mandoric & Ronna, collaborative action. Gradual sucess rolls.
This seems to be one of old worlds languages. It's not clear what exactly those messages telling, but it's clear that the message on the locker have declarative, descriptive character, and the single message on the fifth screen have informative meaning. It informs or reports state or quality of some group of objects.

Lucas
Those blocks and boxes have some functionality for sure. It's unclear what is their purpose, but those are not simple beds.

Nyom raises her hands to her ears, as if in pain, and then slowly lowers them again.
