| CF | Would you like to play with accessibility on? (recommended for mobile) | ||
| CF | > | DavidW asks, "uh, what does that mean, exactly, game?" | |
| Knight_Otu says, "I suspect we can't use accessibility functions." | ||
| DavidW asks, "But what are accessibility functions?" | ||
| Knight_Otu asks, "Could be text to speech, high contrast, large lettering?" | ||
| DavidW says, "Like, we are handicapped in that we can't see pictures or hear sound effects." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "True." | ||
| Lancelot has arrived. | DavidW says, "So I wish this question was worded better." | |
| Lancelot says, "hi" | ||
| DavidW asks, "I suppose answer 'no' and hope for the best?" | ||
| DavidW says, "hi, Lancelot." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "Hey." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "With any luck, it can be switched in-game if it turns out to be needed." | ||
| Lancelot says, "sorry to be late was busy past few weeks" | ||
| DavidW says (to Lancelot), "I just loaded up Galaxy Jones and was stumped by the game asking if we want to 'play with accessibility'." | ||
| DavidW says (to Knight), "yeah. Let's hope so." | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "no" | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | The phone rings. Galaxy Jones, the solar system's greatest hero, rolls | ||
| CF | over in bed and presses the talk button. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | "Yes?" she says in a voice thick with sleep. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | "Hello, is this Galaxy Jones?" comes the voice from the speaker. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | "Yes, this is she. To whom am I speaking?" | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | "Oh, hi, Ms Jones. This is Patty, I work for Admiral P. X. Thallium, | ||
| CF | CEO of Diversified Entanglements, LLC. He asked me to forward a | ||
| CF | message to you." | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | "He did, did he? Now what would the Admiral want to say to me?" | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | "Oh, it's not from the Admiral himself. It's from one Miss Europa | ||
| CF | Callisto. I must say, the Admiral was quite surprised when I said I | ||
| CF | didn't know who she is. Apparently she's famous." | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | "Yes, quite famous, but why would she send a message to me, and why on | ||
| CF | Mars would she send it through Thallium? But never mind, what's the | ||
| CF | message?" | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Patty can be heard rustling paper. "Let's see... it's here somewhere. | ||
| CF | Oh yes, here it is. The message is 'Help.'" | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | [continue] | Lancelot says, "I think we should be able to play it, looks like a parser type of game" | |
| DavidW says, "That wasn't the issue." | ||
| Lancelot says, "ah ok" | ||
| Lancelot says, "I do know it shows some graphics" | ||
| DavidW says, "'accessibility' is extremely vague." | ||
| DavidW pushes the green 'space' button. | ||
| CF | [continue]Ten minutes later, Galaxy Jones, in her speeder Galaxy One, | ||
| CF | races across the desolate expanse of Utopia Planitia, Mars. Her | ||
| CF | nemesis, the thoroughly execrable Admiral Thallium, has taken hostage | ||
| CF | the exquisite Europa Callisto, singer and actress renowned throughout | ||
| CF | a dozen solar systems. As Patty has quite helpfully explained, Miss | ||
| CF | Callisto is imprisoned at the top of the Viking Building in New | ||
| CF | Reykjavik, guarded by an impressive number of killer robots and other | ||
| CF | diabolical instruments of Jones's inevitable demise. The Admiral has | ||
| CF | most cordially invited Ms Jones to break into his building and attempt | ||
| CF | a rescue. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | "Oh I will," Galaxy mutters to herself. This time, she vows silently, | ||
| CF | Thallium won't escape. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Plus she'll get to meet Europa Callisto. That'll be totally sweet. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | [continue] | Knight_Otu says, "Well." | |
| Lancelot says, "I know this one, played it last friday lol :p" | ||
| DavidW pushes the green 'space' button. | ||

| CF | 6/12N) | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | A sleek dark red speeder roars into the dock of the Viking Building. A | ||
| CF | tall woman in a battle-ready jumpsuit and carrying a disruptor pistol | ||
| CF | climbs out of it: Galaxy Jones. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Galaxy Jones is in the speeder dock. A safe harbor from the | ||
| CF | periodic dust storms of Utopia Planitia, the dock features several | ||
| CF | dozen speeder bays. Only a few are filled right now. The building | ||
| CF | entryway is to the north, under a red stone façade carved into the | ||
| CF | likeness of a fearsome Viking. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Jones's speeder, Galaxy One, sits in one of the parking bays. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Jones's handler Beck comes over her headset. "Alright, what's | ||
| CF | going on?" | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | She replies, "I'm in the speeder dock. No movement. What can I | ||
| CF | expect inside?" | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | "Blueprints show the ground floor is one big empty space with | ||
| CF | elevators in the center. Not a lot of places for resistance to hide, | ||
| CF | but you can never tell. Be careful. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | "And one other thing, Jones: if you need help you can ASK | ||
| CF | BECK FOR HELP. You can also ASK BECK ABOUT | ||
| CF | things or ASK BECK ABOUT GAME for more information | ||
| CF | about the game. Finally, you can cause help to repeat from the | ||
| CF | beginning by saying ASK BECK TO RESET HELP" | ||
| CF | | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | (the speeder) | ||
| CF | Galaxy One is a Dust Runner, a top-of-the-line model from Olympus | ||
| CF | Speedworks. It's deep crimson with tinted windows. Powerful turbines | ||
| CF | adorn vestigial wings that sweep back in severe rearward arcs. | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | Jones approaches the Viking Building entryway, the dramatic façade | ||
| CF | towering over her. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Galaxy Jones is at the entry doorway. A glass revolving door | ||
| CF | leads into a large open space north of here. The speeder dock is to | ||
| CF | the south. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Jones looks up at the 100 stories of glass and steel. "What do you | ||
| CF | want to bet Thallium's got Europa all the way at the top?" | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Beck: "Oh, no doubt." | ||
| CF | | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | Jones takes a deep breath. "I'm going in." | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Beck replies, "You got this, Galaxy." | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Jones passes through the revolving door and into the lobby, alert to | ||
| CF | any defenses. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Galaxy Jones is in the lobby. The ground floor of the Viking | ||
| CF | Building is breathtaking. Low-G architecture means more glass and | ||
| CF | thinner supports, and the building takes advantage of that. Four walls | ||
| CF | of glass surround a central pillar in which are set the utility rooms | ||
| CF | and elevators. In between is an expanse of plants, water features, and | ||
| CF | stylish seating. Near the entryway is a front desk. A giant crystal | ||
| CF | sculpture floats above the center of the area, suspended on almost | ||
| CF | invisible cables. She may go east and west from here, north to the | ||
| CF | elevators, or south out of the building. | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | Suddenly two robot guards, green and red, emerge from niches in the | ||
| CF | back wall! Jones dives behind the front desk and draws her disruptor | ||
| CF | pistol. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Jones shouts, "I'm under fire from two ugly robot things!" | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Beck responds, "Monitoring your suit radar." | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | Jones sticks her head out from behind the desk and squeezes off a shot | ||
| CF | at the red and green guard robots. In her haste it goes wide of the | ||
| CF | target. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Jones: "I could use some ideas here!" | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | It's a huge crystal abstraction, provocative in its arrogance but | ||
| CF | evocative of nothing. A typical public installation by the artist | ||
| CF | Rambutan. It's held up by metal cables. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | The robots intone "Destroy Jones" in an eerie drone. | ||
| CF | | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | A perfect shot! Yet, somehow, the robot is unscathed. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Jones: "Target seems to be absorbing disruptor fire. This will | ||
| CF | make things a little harder." | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Beck: "Got it." | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | The robots intone "Destroy Jones" in an eerie drone. | ||

| CF | cables. In quick succession they break as well, and the whole | ||
| CF | installation plummets to the ground, right on top of the hapless guard | ||
| CF | robots. | ||

| CF | As soon as Jones steps into the office, a shot zaps just past her | ||

| CF | notice of both the purple guard robot training its disruptor on the | ||
| CF | room, and the chair's fine construction and lumbar support. | ||

| CF | Galaxy Jones is in the elevator car. It's luxurious, with | ||
| CF | gold-plated walls and crystal lighting on the ceiling. The button | ||
| CF | panel is lacquered dark mahogany with what look like real ivory | ||
| CF | buttons. The carpeting is soft and plush. A golden keyhole sits above | ||
| CF | the buttons. You can leave the elevator to the east. | ||

| CF ] Pit | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | It started out with a quiet, secret journey from your hometown of | ||
| CF | Crossley, and seems to have ended here, in a small hut in the middle | ||
| CF | of Nowhere, Essex. You got careless, you got caught, and now your | ||
| CF | investigation seems to have screeched to a grinding halt, if for no | ||
| CF | other reason than the mild inconvenience of being tied to a chair at | ||
| CF | the bottom of a pit. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Your two captors stand on the edge above, looming over you, both | ||
| CF | wearing the standard black suits you've come to dread. The shorter, | ||
| CF | pudgier, brown-haired one takes a last draw of his cigarette and | ||
| CF | flicks it towards you. You wince in pain as the burning end bounces | ||
| CF | off your face, and he sneers in triumph. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | 'Don't damage the goods,' snaps the other man, the blond one. You | ||
| CF | recognise him from several pictures you found during your research, as | ||
| CF | well as that one time... | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | The pudgy one waves your phone in the air. 'Got her phone, boss.' | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | 'Good. Take it to the dropoff by the dormitories. We'll find out how | ||
| CF | much she knows... afterwards, of course.' | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You grit your teeth. You've done a lot of work on this investigation, | ||
| CF | but you have to admit you still don't know anywhere near as much as | ||
| CF | you'd like about what's going on. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | The pudgy man leans over the pit, a notepad dangling loosely from his | ||
| CF | belt. For a moment, you think the notepad might fall into the pit with | ||
| CF | you. 'Looks like all she can do now is wait till noon.' | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | 'Come on,' says the blond man shortly. They disappear from view, | ||
| CF | muttering about checking other locations, and after a moment you hear | ||
| CF | a door being locked in the room above. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You take a deep breath. You feel guilty about keeping your husband | ||
| CF | Cecil in the dark about all this. You didn't want to worry him... but | ||
| CF | this has gone far beyond that now. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You wish you could see Cecil's face one last time. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You shake yourself. You can't think like that. You don't know exactly | ||
| CF | what's going to happen at noon, but you'd rather not be here when it | ||
| CF | does. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Nine o'clock. You've got three hours to make your escape. | ||

| CF | Pit (on the chair) | ||
| CF | You are at the bottom of a grimy, mossy, earthen pit, only about five | ||
| CF | feet across in each direction, but about eight feet deep. Dim light | ||
| CF | spills into the pit from the wooden room above. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | An old wooden dining chair reminds you of the dining room you were in | ||
| CF | when you were finally caught. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | A long, thick, rusty nail is sticking out of the wall of the pit. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | The cigarette end thrown at you by the pudgy man smoulders on the | ||
| CF | mossy floor of the pit. Some of the moss is starting to smoulder too. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You have been tied to the chair with a length of rope. | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | The nail protrudes from the wall of the pit, about a foot down from | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | Cecil always used to call you 'the only Marie in town' as an in-joke, | ||
| CF | because Crossley was such a small place. In this current godforsaken | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | You've looked better, but then it's not been the best of days. | ||

| CF | the chair slightly away from the wall of the pit. | ||
| CF | | ||

| CF ] Pit | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > SHIFT CHAIR | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You gently try rocking the chair from side to side in the hope that | ||
| CF | tipping it onto its side will give you more leverage to start getting | ||
| CF | free of the ropes. The eventual fall is less gentle, but it does give | ||
| CF | you enough of a jolt to pull the loops around your arms away from the | ||
| CF | back of the chair. You're still tied up, but at least you're free of | ||
| CF | the chair now. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You get to your feet in a slightly ungainly manner. | ||

| CF ] Pit | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > BURN ROPE WITH CIGARETTE | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You can't get the cigarette end in an exact enough position. As you | ||
| CF | scrabble to your feet following your unsuccessful attempt, you realise | ||
| CF | the rope feels fairly loose. | ||
| CF | | ||

| Perry says (to ClubFloyd), "untie rope" | ||
| CF ] Pit | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > UNTIE ROPE | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You tug at the rope experimentally. It's not very strong and you | ||
| CF | manage to slip one of the loops over your hands. A bit of wriggling | ||
| CF | later, you're free, the rope falling to the ground. | ||
| CF | | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | You stamp on the cigarette end, making sure it's out. The last thing | ||
| CF | you need to add to your current predicament is fire. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | ||
| Perry says (to ClubFloyd), "x nail" | ||
| CF ] Pit | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > X NAIL | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | The nail protrudes from the wall of the pit, about a foot down from | ||
| CF | the top. It looks like one of those huge old nails used centuries ago. | ||
| CF | You could just about reach it if you stood on your tiptoes. | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | > STAND ON CHAIR | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You make sure the chair is upright and stand on it. Unfortunately, it | ||
| CF | doesn't give you enough height to climb out of the pit. You step off | ||
| CF | it again. | ||
| CF | | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | > CLIMB ROPE | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You take hold of the ratty rope and start to climb out of the pit... | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | As you find a handhold on the wooden floorboards of the room above, | ||
| CF | the rope snaps, tumbling to the bottom of the pit along with the nail. | ||
| CF | You just about manage to haul yourself up into the room with your | ||
| CF | hands and knees. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You certainly won't be waiting around like they told you. Time to get | ||
| CF | out of here. Somehow... | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Wooden Room | ||
| CF | You are in a small, windowless wooden room that is lit by a bare | ||
| CF | lightbulb hanging from the ceiling. It feels stuffy and oppressive. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Against the north wall is the entrance to the pit. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | The walls are damp and rotten. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | A battered old wardrobe is leaning against the northwest corner of the | ||
| CF | hut. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | There is a small key in the keyhole of the wardrobe. | ||
| CF | | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | Opening the wardrobe door, you gasp, and immediately feel sick. | ||
| CF | There's a dead body in the wardrobe - a woman. From the looks of it, | ||
| CF | she hasn't been dead long, perhaps a few hours at most - and as that | ||
| CF | thought crosses your mind, you feel disgusted with yourself for being | ||
| CF | so clinical. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You remember the anonymous letter you received that started all of | ||
| CF | this. The writer made it clear that these people would stop at nothing | ||
| CF | to carry out their plans, and you thought you were prepared for that. | ||
| CF | But maybe you weren't. | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | You don't really want to touch the body, but there might be something | ||
| CF | useful here. Trying not to look into the corpse's lifeless eyes, you | ||
| CF | quickly check her pockets. Empty. You suppose they wouldn't have left | ||
| CF | anything useful on her... but just as you're thinking that, you think | ||
| CF | you spot some paper clutched in her left hand. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Your eye also falls on a lumpy sack that has been shoved into the | ||

| CF | You can't open that. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You look at your watch. You've still got two and a half hours to go, | ||
| CF | but not knowing what's going to happen is making you extremely | ||
| CF | nervous. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You wish you hadn't wasted so much time at home during your | ||
| CF | investigation: thinking, double-checking, scouring old newspaper | ||
| CF | articles for the hundredth time... just waiting. You had no idea they | ||
| CF | were planning something so soon. If you had, you could have acted | ||
| CF | sooner, gone to London sooner, given yourself time to chase up your | ||
| CF | leads before these people hunted you down. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You give yourself a mental shake. No point in dwelling. You need to | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | Marie, | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You don't know me, and I'll make this quick. I don't have much | ||
| CF | time. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | I work for Farr at the dormitories and I heard them talking about | ||
| CF | you this morning. They said you wouldn't be alive much longer. I | ||
| CF | couldn't sit by when I heard that. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | I've seen some unsavoury things in this job, and I've always | ||
| CF | looked the other way, but I can't just let this happen. They said they | ||
| CF | were putting you in the old wooden hut off the yard. I'll leave this | ||
| CF | note there and hope you find it. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | They'll lock you inside, presumably. I'll hide a key for the door | ||
| CF | under the floorboards. Hopefully you should be able to get out of the | ||
| CF | yard after that. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Once you're out, come find me at the dormitories. I'll be near the | ||
| CF | door. I'll do my best to help you. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You feel safe to assume that the dead woman wrote the note herself and | ||
| CF | that obviously she won't be at the dormitories like she planned. They | ||
| CF | must have realised what she was up to. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You feel a terrible mixture of guilt and gratitude. You wish you knew | ||

| CF | at the moment. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You still don't know who sent you that letter one year ago. But that's | ||
| CF | when you found out that Farr - long before you knew that was their | ||
| CF | name - had been involved in, or at least interested in, your life for | ||
| CF | a very long time. Your mother's horrified reaction when you told her | ||
| CF | you'd received a letter telling you to look more closely into your own | ||
| CF | birth led to some digging around in your parents' house while they | ||
| CF | were out of town, which led to the discovery that they had been | ||
| CF | receiving correspondence from people involved in the organisation very | ||
| CF | early on in your lifetime, which in turn prompted the realisation that | ||
| CF | it wasn't just you they were interested in... there were others. Seven | ||

| CF | alongside you. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Despite your mother telling you to ignore the letter, you did what it | ||
| CF | said and looked into your birth. You were one of eight born at the | ||
| CF | hospital that day - unusual for a hospital in a relatively small town | ||
| CF | like Crossley, but not unheard of - but one of the many things that | ||
| CF | struck you as strange was that you didn't recognise any of the other | ||
| CF | surnames. They hadn't attended the town's primary school with you, | ||
| CF | you'd never encountered them while growing up, and yet these were all | ||
| CF | reported as local families... Where had they gone? | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Further investigation in the town archives revealed they had all moved | ||
| CF | away within a couple of years. You later found out that most of the | ||
| CF | others had attracted the attention of Farr too. Your parents | ||
| CF | presumably weren't unnerved enough to leave town at that point, but it | ||
| CF | looked like all the others were. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | And maybe you'd all had the interest of Farr from the start. After | ||
| CF | all, why else would the blond man - the same one who put you in the | ||

| CF | You let out a quiet shriek and take a horrified step backwards as the | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | It's the corpse of a man you recognise from somewhere. He wears | ||
| CF | overalls and appears to be in his forties or thereabouts. Dried blood | ||
| CF | covers his forehead, presumably from the fatal wound. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Looking at the man's face, you feel suddenly queasy. That's right. You | ||
| CF | saw him alive just earlier this morning - outside the building when | ||

| CF | breath, you gently manoeuvre the corpse's limbs from side to side, | ||
| CF | checking his clothes. There's nothing in his pockets, but you spot a | ||
| CF | keycard and a scrap of paper tucked in next to the body at the side of | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | You don't know me, and I'll make this quick. I don't have much | ||
| CF | time. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | I work for Farr at the dormitories and I heard them talking about | ||
| CF | you this morning. They said you wouldn't be alive much longer. I | ||
| CF | couldn't sit by when I heard that. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | I've seen some unsavoury things in this job, and I've always | ||
| CF | looked the other way, but I can't just let this happen. They said they | ||
| CF | were putting you in the old wooden hut off the yard. I'll leave this | ||
| CF | note there and hope you find it. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | They'll lock you inside, presumably. I'll hide a key for the door | ||
| CF | under the floorboards. Hopefully you should be able to get out of the | ||
| CF | yard after that. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Once you're out, come find me at the dormitories. I'll be near the | ||
| CF | door. I'll do my best to help you. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You feel safe to assume that the dead woman wrote the note herself and | ||
| CF | that obviously she won't be at the dormitories like she planned. They | ||
| CF | must have realised what she was up to. | ||

| CF | The heading on the note matches the name of a local gardening company. | ||
| CF | You recognise it from when you were trawling through all those | ||
| CF | gardening companies while chasing your false lead. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | The note reads: | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Presume you got my message about collecting the gear from the Farr | ||
| CF | place this morning? Dave and team forgot to collect it all when they | ||
| CF | finished the job a couple of days ago. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Keys are with Sandra - grab them before you head off. The shed key | ||
| CF | is a bit old and wonky and doesn't always work. If you're desperate, | ||
| CF | there's a spare hidden in the wall next to the shed. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | The main things to collect are the two telescopic chainsaws in the | ||
| CF | shed, but we're also missing the following: | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | 1 pickaxe | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | 1 crowbar | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | If you can find those that'd be great, but don't go out of your | ||
| CF | way. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Don't bother checking in with Farr. I can't get hold of anyone | ||
| CF | there this morning and I'm not sure anyone will be on site. Just grab | ||
| CF | the gear so that we've got it for next week. | ||

| CF | can't keep yourself from jumping back, nervous that you'll find | ||
| CF | another dead body inside... but it's just more tools. Most of them | ||
| CF | look old and unusable, but there's a sturdy-looking spade near the | ||

| CF | removed copies of note. Note mentioned key under floorboard but no | ||
| CF | sign of this. To do: remove remains from hut during post-event | ||
| CF | cleanup. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | 8:50am: found gardener (from company we hired to weed dormitory | ||
| CF | clearing earlier this week) sniffing about near yard. Claimed to be | ||
| CF | collecting tools - had keys to yard and shed in possession. Saw and | ||
| CF | heard too much as we were bringing S1 to location. Dealt with him and | ||
| CF | recovered keys. To do: remove remains from shed during post-event | ||
| CF | cleanup. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | 9:00am: S1 in position. Removed phone to avoid risk of her | ||
| CF | contacting anyone. Taking it to dropoff point by dormitories to be | ||

| CF | working with others. | ||

| Lancelot says, "and how the hell did we know we had only 3 hrs" | ||
| Lancelot asks, "oh this is part of a series?" | ||

| Perry says, "We read the van note." | ||

| CF ] Pit | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | It started out with a quiet, secret journey from your hometown of | ||
| CF | Crossley, and seems to have ended here, in a small hut in the middle | ||
| CF | of Nowhere, Essex. You got careless, you got caught, and now your | ||
| CF | investigation seems to have screeched to a grinding halt, if for no | ||
| CF | other reason than the mild inconvenience of being tied to a chair at | ||
| CF | the bottom of a pit. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Your two captors stand on the edge above, looming over you, both | ||
| CF | wearing the standard black suits you've come to dread. The shorter, | ||
| CF | pudgier, brown-haired one takes a last draw of his cigarette and | ||
| CF | flicks it towards you. You wince in pain as the burning end bounces | ||
| CF | off your face, and he sneers in triumph. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | 'Don't damage the goods,' snaps the other man, the blond one. You | ||
| CF | recognise him from several pictures you found during your research, as | ||
| CF | well as that one time... | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | The pudgy one waves your phone in the air. 'Got her phone, boss.' | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | 'Good. Take it to the dropoff by the dormitories. We'll find out how | ||
| CF | much she knows... afterwards, of course.' | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You grit your teeth. You've done a lot of work on this investigation, | ||
| CF | but you have to admit you still don't know anywhere near as much as | ||
| CF | you'd like about what's going on. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | The pudgy man leans over the pit, a notepad dangling loosely from his | ||
| CF | belt. For a moment, you think the notepad might fall into the pit with | ||
| CF | you. 'Looks like all she can do now is wait till noon.' | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | 'Come on,' says the blond man shortly. They disappear from view, | ||
| CF | muttering about checking other locations, and after a moment you hear | ||
| CF | a door being locked in the room above. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You take a deep breath. You feel guilty about keeping your husband | ||
| CF | Cecil in the dark about all this. You didn't want to worry him... but | ||
| CF | this has gone far beyond that now. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You wish you could see Cecil's face one last time. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You shake yourself. You can't think like that. You don't know exactly | ||
| CF | what's going to happen at noon, but you'd rather not be here when it | ||
| CF | does. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Nine o'clock. You've got three hours to make your escape. | ||

| CF | Pit (on the chair) | ||
| CF | You are at the bottom of a grimy, mossy, earthen pit, only about five | ||
| CF | feet across in each direction, but about eight feet deep. Dim light | ||
| CF | spills into the pit from the wooden room above. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | An old wooden dining chair reminds you of the dining room you were in | ||
| CF | when you were finally caught. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | A long, thick, rusty nail is sticking out of the wall of the pit. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | The cigarette end thrown at you by the pudgy man smoulders on the | ||
| CF | mossy floor of the pit. Some of the moss is starting to smoulder too. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You have been tied to the chair with a length of rope. | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | The front page of the notepad is titled Daily Report: 7th | ||
| CF | November. The handwriting is quickly-scribbled and a bit hard to | ||
| CF | read. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | 8:10am: Sarah Lyle from dorm cleaning crew turned out to be | ||
| CF | traitor. Caught her near huts and found two copies of a note in her | ||
| CF | pockets - she planned to allow escape of S1. Dealt with her and | ||
| CF | removed copies of note. Note mentioned key under floorboard but no | ||
| CF | sign of this. To do: remove remains from hut during post-event | ||
| CF | cleanup. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | 8:50am: found gardener (from company we hired to weed dormitory | ||
| CF | clearing earlier this week) sniffing about near yard. Claimed to be | ||
| CF | collecting tools - had keys to yard and shed in possession. Saw and | ||
| CF | heard too much as we were bringing S1 to location. Dealt with him and | ||
| CF | recovered keys. To do: remove remains from shed during post-event | ||
| CF | cleanup. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | 9:00am: S1 in position. Removed phone to avoid risk of her | ||
| CF | contacting anyone. Taking it to dropoff point by dormitories to be | ||
| CF | studied later - S1 seems to know more than she should and is possibly | ||
| CF | working with others. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | (You wish you hadn't been too stubborn to work with others. But you | ||
| CF | wanted to find all of this out by yourself... as usual.) | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | 9:05am: Everything in place for noon. Leaving site once deposited | ||
| CF | S1's phone. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | The rest of the notepad is blank. Perhaps the man uses a new one every | ||
| CF | day. | ||

| Lancelot asks, "although some parts seemed pretty railroaded... is that the right word? leading us on?" | ||
| Lancelot says, "I mean often it semmed obvious what the next thing to do would be... not much room for exploration looks like" | ||
| DavidW says, "I don't know the right word. Signposted, maybe." | ||
| Lancelot says, "ah yeah signposted is the word I was looking for thx" | ||
| Lancelot says, "anyways thx for driving this was pretty cool" | ||
| DavidW says, "yes, thank you, Perry" | ||
| Lancelot says, "and I thought my game was small lol... I guess I have to revise what is considered a small game :p" | ||
| Perry exclaims, "Yup!" | ||
| Knight_Otu exclaims, "Thanks for driving, indeed!" | ||
| DavidW says, "I have no idea what we're doing next week, but I feel good about this week." | ||
| DavidW says, "Thanks again, all. I'm heading back to the lounge now." | ||
| Lancelot says, "yeah finished galaxy jones and took on another game nicely filling up the time" | ||
| DavidW disappears through an invisible gap in the MUD. You think you may have heard the sounds of chatting before the gap closed again. | Lancelot says, "bye all" | |
| Knight_Otu exclaims, "Good night all, and stay safe!" | ||
