Freedom City PBP

Beneath Freedom Zoo, Feb. 14th, Evening

After a little longer, Nanite believes he's gotten all he can from the robot's computer brain. Apart from the maps, the stored information included a series of fairly complex instructions to tell the robots who is allowed inside the facility without being attacked. There is a red button on the north wall near the entrance (you all see it now that you know to look for it), and if this is pressed by someone wearing yellow robes bearing the snake symbol (the same one shown on the floor and elsewhere), the robots are to let this person and anyone with them pass without interference.

Bastion hops on a terminal and starts pecking around for information. It takes a few minutes to navigate the proprietary operating system, but Bastion eventually finds his way inside the system. He logs into database ys_1313, and finds information about the zoo (employees, some of whom have received payments in the thousands of dollars as recently as yesterday, also some information about security procedures). Database ys_037 reveals names of 'targets', lists of first and last names, including Emily Diaz.

Century Girl pushes on the large symbol serpent symbol in the door just as she had with the last few doors, wanting to see what lay beyond it. If the girl was down here, then the people holding her would certainly know they were here now.

The door opens, revealing a narrow passage beyond. Century Girl can see an identical door at the end of this passage.

"Hold on," Bastion says, finding something interesting on his workstation. "What do you suppose this is?" Nanite looks up at the screen, as does Mnemonic.

Nanite looks back at the robot he datamined. "Well, there was something about a 'fail-safe' in their programming..."

"Bomb! This place is going to blow! Bastion? Can you stop it?"
 


"Bomb! This place is going to blow! Bastion? Can you stop it?"

"I'm gonna try" Bastions grimaces as the countdown flashes before him "10 minutes that gives us two to evacuate.

Nanite check the blueprints to locate the girl
someone get to Century Girl and tell her she has 9 minutes to search.
"

the scientist-cum-hero then goes silent as he tries to isolate and override the countdown and hopefully get them out alive.

ooc Knowledge:Tech +15, Disable Device +15, Computers +15
 


Nanite mutters to himself as he looks over any schematic data he found, searching for anything that looks like a cell or holding area.

"I knew I should have paid attention in those computer classes."

[sblock=ooc]Notice +7
Untrained search or computers +3

He'll keep one eye on the time, and only spend two minutes at this before changing tacks if nothing comes to light.[/sblock]
 

Century Girl curses and flies at top speed into the next door letting her fists lead the way, not wanting to waste absolutely any time, she wasn't sure if she'd be able to shrug off a blast that could be powerful enough to destroy the complex, but she'd search til the absolute last second.

OOC: Strength check? Damaging Attack? Not sure how this would work, she'll start moving from room to room rapidly searching for anyone who would be hurt by the blast.
 

Seeing he wont be much help in halting the countdown, Mnemonic uses his knowledge of the floorplans to assist in the search. Looking first anyplave that looked like it would logically be a holding area by the floorplans.
 

Entrapper seems to have been frozen after the fight, watching people move around him.

A real fight... and the suit protected me... Of course it was supposed to...

Yelling about a bomb brings him back to reality. He looks up at the map on the screen that Nanite has generated.

Entrapper will try to look for any parts of the complex that have lots of little rooms (i.e. like a cell block), if they're within range of his ESP he'll try to look and "see" what's there. If they're out of range he'll use a hero point to "boost" his range. (Rational: His elation at having participated in a fight gives him a surge of self confidence)[/sblock]

Scanning his mental database, Mnemonic thinks that there are holding cells two floors down. This would be one floor above the last sub-level.

Bastion concentrates on the computer console, furiously pecking at keys.

[sblock=Bastion]Computers check (Roll 12 + Skill 15, +2 from Knowledge (technology)) 29. Bastion locates the source of the countdown, but it cannot be disabled from here. There is a central server called ys_1090, located in a cluster called ysc_9 on sub-level 3, the bottom level of the complex.[/sblock]

The Entrapper, closing his eyes, seeks to find resolution through the use of his clairvoyance. He is having a hard time focusing on any subterranean level, and believes he might be blocked somehow.

Nanite continues to search the robot's programming, finding nothing so far.

Century Girl flies down the corridor, crashing through the elevator doors at the end of the next chamber. She's found no one down here thus far.
