Starting Over [Archangel] [Discontinued]

[Floozer]

Well, he manages to break the door... by sending his foot right through the old rotten door and getting rather stuck int he process. his pant leg is now also shredded thanks to the splintered pointy wood. But hey, he can reach through the hole and open it once he gets his leg out.

 

[Archangel99]

He yelps as his foot goes through the door, and hops around awkwardly for a moment, trying not to fall. Once he's steadied himself, he slowly and carefully pulls his leg back out, and reaches into the hole to try and open the door.

 

[Floozer]

Reaching through he can just grab the inside knob and give it a tug, the door sliding open before falling to the floor with a bang. Inside is a large office with papers scattered everywhere and a skeleton in the chair behind a large desk.

 

[Archangel99]

"Jeez. Stupid door..." He grumbles, before walking into the office. He glances at the skeleton for a moment.
Hmm... Wonder if he committed suicide, or... Died of starvation...?
He shrugs, then explores the office, looking for the codes and anything that can help him.

 

[Floozer]

The most obvious choice the the main desk with the skeleton. It is still wearing the remains of a rotted suit and his nametag still reads "Ryan" which means this was the man with the plan. His old world machine is inert like the others but the skeletal hand clasps what looks like a journal that seems to still be legible... sadly, Kai can hardly read.

 

[Archangel99]

He frowns and opens it, looking for numbers. At least if he could find series of four digit numbers, he could try all of them on the doorpad.
And if there was nothing in the journals, he could always try the cabinets.

 

[Floozer]

Half way through the journal, which is likely full of very important past information, he finds a 4 digit code. 5039 is written down in the center of the page.

 

[Archangel99]

Hmm... That's one series down... He keeps the book in his pouch, then runs all the way back down to the basement secret door before trying the code.

 

[Floozer]

With a hiss and a rush of stale air, the door slowly slides open. Behind it is a huge lab covered in dust and full of skeletons both human... and mutated. Papers lay scattered about, old parts remain on tables and the whole area carries an air of despair. A door on the other side of the room is the only way further inside.

 

[Archangel99]

Whoaaa. This is like something out of those old sci fi movie things dad told me about...
He grins as he walks into the room, but the grin quickly fades as he sees the skeletons in detail. He looks around the room for a bit for anything useful before walking to the door and trying to open it.

 

[Floozer]

There are a number of papers still legible that mamma might like...after all, these guys were building an android and she seems to love mechanics.

 

[Archangel99]

He decides to pick up as many as he can. No telling if he'd need them. Then, he walks to the door and tries to open it.

Swear to god, if this is another locked one...

 

[Floozer]

Thankfully this door opens with another hiss and reveals a long hall way. Two doors on the left and two doors on the right with large viewing windows show more skeletons and many projects in progress. A door against the far back wall must be the way further in. There is no sound other than the humming of the lights above him... its rather unsettling.

 

[Archangel99]

Unsettling or not, he does have a job to do.

Which, of course, he postpones by looking into every room along the hallway!

[Gtg. Having dinner outside. Should be back in a few hours.]

 

[Floozer]

Each room has three skeletons inside of it around a work table covered in parts. These were likely the research teams hard at work even as the end was upon them. The last room send a shiver down his spine. Inside in an emaciated, mostly dead infected person. They are rail thin, just skin and bones, with a mostly human appearance save for a third arm int he middle of their chest, a fourth int he middle of their back, their legs look cracked and broken and their lower jaw is gone, leaving their tongue to hang loosely on the floor. It hasn't noticed him yet.

 

[Archangel99]

His eyes grow wide, and he pokes the skill of the creature gently with his spear, checking if it was alive.

 

[Floozer]

It suddenly hisses and lunges at him with its gnarly right arm while chomping it's teeth wildly!

 

[Archangel99]

He shrieks and jumps back, swinging his spear wildly and trying to bat the creature away as he scrambles out of range.

 

[Floozer]

His spear smack against it a few times and it goes limp on the floor once more, unmoving and inert.

 

[Archangel99]

Just for good measure, he stabs it in the skull, panting as his body shudders from the adrenaline rush. Then, he rips the spear free before walking to the last door at the end of the hall and trying to open it.

 

[Floozer]

The door slides open to reveal... a small box of a room with two buttons on the side, one pointing up and the other pointing down.

 

[Archangel99]

"Umm... Dafuq? Okay... She said it was below, so maybe...?" He presses the button pointing down and prays that the elevator doesn't fall down the shaft and kill him.

 

[Floozer]

The doors slide closed and the box starts to move downward for a few minutes before stopping and sliding open. In front of him is the most bizarre room he has ever seen. Monitors are all over the place and mechanical tools and parts are scattered about. A single human skeleton lays on the floor near a table where what must be the android lays. The androids looks completely human save for the joints and is designed to look female. The inexperienced Kai likely gets a blush as she lays there naked, breasts and even a detailed pussy in full view. She looks like a fairly well enowed woman with D cup breasts, fair skin, blond hair, slightly curvy body with just the right amount of plush to her form.

To the right of her table, above the skeleton, is a monitor that reads a single question "Launch?" with a big red button glowing below the screen. It seems they were seconds away from completing their goal when they all passed away. Kai has a choice... side with mamma Slag and get the pieces from the droid... or see what this century old savior can do.

 

[Archangel99]

His eyes flick between the droid and the screen. On one hand... He really wanted to turn on the droid. [Lol. Pun. Geddit?] On the other, Max was at stake... He groans and pushes the skeleton out of the seat as he takes it, frowning and biting the skin of his thumb, something he usually did when he was thinking hard.

Okay... This is hard... I could turn on the droid and probably save the human race... But that might piss off Mamma since she's one of the infected. Who knows if this droid kills them...? But... If I take out the chip and give it to her, I'm probably going to get either very vague information, or... His eyes widen. Or I've been played for a fool and she just wants me to take the chip and kill me?
His eyes come to rest on the launch button.
However... If I turned on the droid and took it along with me... It'll be protection against being double crossed, and if I'm not getting double crossed, I can give it to her as a gift... And get the info. Hmm... That seems to be the best plan.

Nodding resolutely, he presses the launch button and hides behind the console in case the thing explodes.

 

[Floozer]

His instincts were right as the power fluctuations suddenly kick in, monitors around the room start to pop and explode sending glass and wires in every direction! The lights flicker and the whole building seems to rumble before the power cuts out complete, plunging him into the darkness. A painful silence hangs for a minute before the lights click back on and the droids is painfully still... before a soft click is heard and her eyes slowly open. She slowly sits up, looking around the destroyed room before her glowing green eyes fall onto Kai. They glow brighter before she smiles gently at him "Hello? There is no need to be afraid, I am here to help" She says while standing up. She is pretty much the same height as Kai now that she is standing. Her voice is smooth and melodious, obviously meant to comfort infected patients.

 

[Archangel99]

He peeks around the console and blinks at her. "You... You can talk?" He asks, surprised.

 

[Floozer]

"Of course I can talk... I am a state of teh art android, model H023TY7 at your service. I see that the lab is destroyed... can you tell me what happened?"

 

[Archangel99]

"Uh... The infections got out of control. And they all died. This building is full of skeletons like this." He murmurs, pointing to the one he had pushed over. "They were about to wake you up, but then... I guess... They died..." He murmurs, trying to avoid ogling the android.

 

[Floozer]

She blinks in disbelief before moving over to a none exploded terminal and resting her hand on it. Her eyes glow brightly before her face falls "So it was a failure then? Humans have already fallen?" She turns to face Kai again "No... not all of them. My scans show you are still human, how many others are there?"

 

[Archangel99]

"Umm... Many, including myself and my brother. What I know so far is that they've scattered and are living alone or in isolated settlements." He murmurs, looking at the floor between her feet, which was pretty much the only safe spot to look at.
