Spren of Kindness Posted April 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 "What's the worry, then?" Martin asks, lightly rapping his knuckles against the stones of a wall, tipping his head in thought. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Condensation Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 3 hours ago, Spren of Kindness said: "Once upon a time, this was the west of the United States," Martin tells Andante, weaving between buildings. "Not sure where exactly we are, but there's not much out here but rocks and dirt. Don't worry," he adds, turning to glance at Queen. "There's no one here. I should know." "Really? Wow..." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spren of Kindness Posted April 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 Martin stops and examines the wall, then pries a stone free. There's a small package there, a small data drive he hid here at his most daring. "If there were ghosts anywhere on Earth, this would be one of the places," he tells Queen. Wait. That's not something people want to hear. "There aren't any," he backtracks. "This is for Nahl," he says, putting it in his left front pocket, and removing another from the cavity and putting that one in his right front pocket. "Let's get this back to her, and actually get this moving. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spren of Kindness Posted May 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2022 Martin swallows his comment about this being a murder place, and leads them back up towards the plane. As he walks, he unravels his braid until his hair is free. He has a passing interest in theatrics, and this seems like a good time for them. And, he's likely going to lose a patch of hair to whatever comes next, so he'll enjoy it now. "Anything you want Nahl to know?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat Posted May 11, 2022 Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 Craven had heard of ghosts before, though had never seen one. He remembered a long time ago, before meeting the Fellowship, when he had met a man who claimed to see ghosts every night. That man had been scary. And very old. Craven wasn’t scared of ghosts, though. “Why are we here again?” he asked, trying not to sound nervous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spren of Kindness Posted May 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2022 The way into the facility is through a small building that looks like a storage shed. There's nothing in there except stairs, which Martin leads them down, clicking on a flashlight as he goes. There's more than a little echo, too. "Watch out for loose wires," he warns. The flashlight beam reveals loose panels in the walls, the insides of the facility hidden behind them. "They won't shock you, but don't trip." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat Posted May 21, 2022 Report Share Posted May 21, 2022 Craven nodded, but he was too busy staring around in wonderment. All this was inside a storage shed? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spren of Kindness Posted May 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2022 Martin switches the flashlight to his other hand when they get to the first door. As he suspected, there's residual power left for these systems. The panel next to the door still glows, and the keypad accepts his code, unlocking the door. "Just in case," he tells everyone, "if you need to get through one of these doors, use code seven two three nine." They might need to know that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DramaQueen Posted May 21, 2022 Report Share Posted May 21, 2022 Seven two three nine. Seven two three nine. Queen repeated the combination in her mind, memorizing it. "So, what exactly are we gonna be looking for?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spren of Kindness Posted May 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2022 "This base was primarily a medical base," Martin says, pausing by a loose panel to reach elbow deep into the wiring and pull a part of the system free. "There's an AMP here - it's a device that can perform surgeries on a patient without guidance. An AMP put my chip in, and an AMP is one of the few things that can get it out safely." He stops at the next intersection. "Trouble is, whenever I was here, I was usually drugged or terrified out of my mind, or unconscious, so I'm not quite sure how to get to where it is." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
