[Delta Green] Operas and Avatars: Tapeworm

[Committed Hero]

Is there a faucet or other way to get water moving through it?

 

[Hrothgar]

IC: Jonathan attempts to approximate the difference in height between the drain in the pool and the drain in the ceiling with the room full of candles. Was that drain stopped? Pools generally have access to their plumbing through some sort of narrow crawlspace. Jonathan looks for one.

 

[Gomez]

Going back down into the "candle room", you see a set of rungs that lead up to a small iron hatch about 8 feet off the ground.

 

[Hrothgar]

"Marcus, we might have access to the plumbing through the crawlspace underneath the pool. I think I have found the hatch in the "candle-room". Officers, one of you have a flashlight I can borrow?" Jonathan asks.

 

[Gomez]

A policeman hands you a flashlight. Opening the hatch, Jonathan sees a 3-foot high crawl space with several large pipes inside. The place is dusty and dirty but it looks like someone recently crawled through the dust. There is a wheel that controls a valve on one of the pipes that crosses the room. It could possible lead to the pipe that leads to the shoot in the next room. Jonathan also sees an old leather backpack stuffed into a corner of the room.

 

[Hrothgar]

Jonathan pauses to survey the pipes. He hesitates when he sees the backpack. Frowning, Jonathan shouts down, "Lt. Rubin? Any of your officers or the SWAT officers skilled in demolitions? I have found a suspicious looking backpack up here. I'd rather have someone skilled OK it before I take a look at it."

 

[Committed Hero]

Jonathan, there are men with wives and children here. If you think they are in danger, don't be shy."

 

[Gomez]

"Doctor Anderson, why don't you come down and let's wait for the bomb squad. You shouldn't be up there anyway. Your a medical doctor and not a trained policeman." says Lt. Rubin.

 

[Hrothgar]

"Er...yes, Lt. Rubin." Jonathan smiles sheepishly. Jonathan climbs out of the crawlspace and waits impatiently for the properly skilled people to arrive. "If it checks out in there, I would still like to visit that crawl space, Lt. Rubin, to ascertain any infectious threat. Is it possible to get access to any blue prints of the plumbing here? Marcus has found an obstruction in the pool drain and I wonder if it is possible to flush that line out...and what line leads to the candle room."

OOC: Sorry, I got a little carried away. My vision of the daring doctor is now that of a skinny, near middle aged man climbing backward out of a crawlspace with dirt all over the backseat of his Dockers.

 

[Gomez]

OOC: Hey don't worry about being that daring doctor! The police just didn't want you to get killed or anything while you were doing their job! And speaking of tomes!


A bomb squad expert climbs up into the crawl space and after a few minutes he climbs back out holding the backpack. "It's just full of books." he says.
