You are inside the Central Control Room, its walls painted a light gray. It is rather spacious inside, and the room is almost empty, save for drop lights illuminating a desk to the far right of the room, and the console's keyboard. Many screens are lined up next to each other against one wall, all powered, albeit displaying a blue screen with the phrase "vloss" in white text. Also here are Sgt. Arni (60HP), Dr. Able (41HP), Amy Hanley (36HP), Primrose Arni, Taiga Rosetti, Roselaine, and an outsider (50HP).
The broadcast system is powered, but is currently off-air.
- You look at the door behind you.
The outsider in black does the same, as you stand up and walk to the door. You hear some friction emanating from it, along with an unexplained, shrill sound. Later, you hear sparks like those made by welding metal.
What could be making that noise?
- • Papa Dod says "When time permits us, I will let you see everything for yourself." (1 minute and 7 seconds ago)
- • Dr. Able says "What do you mean?" (1 minute and 5 seconds ago)
- • You hear a muffled groaning from nearby. (1 minute and 4 seconds ago)
- • Papa Dod says "My companion here erased my hostile programming. That was what I had asked of Amy, but my hostile modules would take control whenever I attempted to get rid of them." (52 seconds ago)
- • Papa Dod says "I created that personality on my own, because I wanted to know how it is to be human." (45 seconds ago)
- • You hear a muffled groaning from nearby. (44 seconds ago)
- • Papa Dod says "Dolly took advantage of the personality I constructed from my adaptive modules, and used it to make me commit acts that go against all I stand for, as a vanguard of the police force." (43 seconds ago)
- • Amy says "It's a relief that the module is gone." (40 seconds ago)
- • Amy says "I didn't think it was your fault. It's not like you would have been able to prevent Dolly's influence on you." (32 seconds ago)
- • You hear loud banging against the door. (31 seconds ago)
- • Papa Dod says "Thank you for your understanding." (29 seconds ago)
- • Papa Dod says "I will let you - and May - view my memory banks." (23 seconds ago)
- • Papa Dod says "May is missing right now. She hasn't been home for a few days." (18 seconds ago)
- • You hear a muffled bellowing from nearby. (16 seconds ago)
- • Dr. Able hands Arni a piece of paper. (16 seconds ago)
- • Dr. Able says "We found this note on the way here, from a dead body." (11 seconds ago)
- • Dr. Able says "I can't believe I'm asking you this, not after what you did to us." (6 seconds ago)
- • Dr. Able says "Can you help us find May in-" (3 seconds ago)
- • You hear a muffled groaning from nearby. (1 second ago)
- • You can see the door budge slightly, as more force is exerted onto it. (just now)
Possible actions:
- "Something's up with the door!"
Inventory:
- You carry a knife on one pocket; your phone on the other. On top of your clothing, you are wearing a black face mask, a golden one-eye eyepiece, a lapel, an earpiece, a black tactical vest with a two loaded pistols and 10 spare magazines inside the vest pouches.
