Turn-based Escape the Lab

Turn 5

You stumble into a hallway. Doors branch off to the left and right, though some of them are locked. Each of them are labeled with a metal plate. (Map is updated)

The left door has a glass window. Through it you can see an elevator! It looks unpowered though. You will need to find a power box.

The lock is built into a handle. It is a tumbler lock.

The door is large and metal. It doesn't look rusted or aged in any way. The hinges look like they could be unscrewed with some effort.

You pull back the curtain. In front of you is an odd bulging shape covered by a cloth laying on a table. It’s not until you are almost next to it when you realize it is a corpse. His chest had been opened, part of his ribs had been taken out, one of his lungs is missing and the other lung looks like it has dissolved. Blood and flesh pools into the cavity. From the markings on his body, it seems that his face would have been next if everybody hadn't left suddenly.

The tools used for the autopsy are still here. Scalpels, scissors, tongs and an electric bone saw are lying on a plate near the body. On another table, there’s even more of the “AHZ-20 (Shielding)” in a large beaker.

You load the files onto the flash drive and transfer them to the modified prod successfully. You place the chrome cube on the floor and fire the prod at it.

The touchscreen displays a loading bar. The prod charges up, and after a few seconds beams of electricity jump from the four prongs onto the cube. The moment the beams touch the cube it starts to shift, flattening and lengthening, as though it was made of some living gel. Finally, the beams stop, the loading bar is full, and the cube has become a horizontal chrome pole, about half a metre high and about 5cm across. You notice, however, that it seems to intersect with the right wall, and when you pull on the pole it extends to a full metre, leaving a thin hole that goes straight through the wall.

@greywolf375 Just a heads-up, I'm posting on Friday. You can skip a turn and rejoin on turn 5 if you're too busy.

I'm not going to make it that hard to open doors. I didn't really set up any complex puzzles for unlocking doors, and the ways you can open doors are quite various. If you give me a way to unlock a door that makes some sense then I will accept it.

@greywolf375No problem. Take it easy mate.

The door opens smoothly. The room smells of gore and bleach, and it is immediately clear why. This part of the lab seems geared for animal testing. Mice in glass boxes fill up one of the walls. Some still run around, some have died and some have even begun decomposing. One of the boxes looks empty, but on closer inspection, what initially looked like sawdust and water is clearly bone fragments swimming in blood and fat. In the box to the right of that, a blue mouse runs around in distress.

The desks hold dissection plates with scalpels, pins and forceps sitting nearby. Some of the plates still have mice halfway through dissection pinned to the wax. Here and there are beakers of blue cream with the label "AHZ-20 (Shielding)" on the side.

One part of the room is concealed by a curtain.

You can go left. There is a door going down, but it is locked.

You investigate the room.

The laptop turns on, but it doesn't connect to the internet, or any network, for that matter. All you find is a 3-D software that seems linked to the printers, and some specialized files that go with it. It seems quite easy to use. You could print "box.vm", "ball.vm", "stick.vm" or "wall.vm", or store them onto a nearby flash drive.

The cattle prod on the desk looks exactly like the one you hold, but this one has a touchscreen at the handle and four wide prongs at the tip. The touchscreen has an image of a cube on the front, though it seems you can load more files onto it. A note is stuck to the side.

Gav. You don't touch the wall with the prongs to edit it. Just hold it within a meter of the target and the prod will focus for you. Try not to ruin the prod this time. -Mick

Most of the papers are a jargon-filled and confusing to read. You notice the phrase "AWJ-521" crop up here and there. At the bottom of one of the reports is a handwritten note.

VM is reacting to electricity, as expected. Reactions are chaotic, but seem directly related to the applied energy. May be harmful if touched while reacting. DO NOT TOUCH WHILE REACTING
