Chapter 2: Fugitives on the run

[Mr. Handy]

"The lot that tried to eat us don't need it any more," says Liz. "Be a shame to let it go to waste."

OOC,What doors are there up here?

[Seon]

"Oh, I sympathize with that completely," Doctor Crawford says. I do want to see if I can recover any of my gear, after all. I miss my scalpel dearly. I had one named Sophie. Always kept it in my coat. She used to have the most interestingly colored kidney--presumably the effects of eating food laced with radiation and unknown toxins.

[Papa Gateau]

Frog glances at Crawford again before turning to look at Liz and twirling his finger by his temple in the universal sign indicating someone is crazy.

Frog thinking:   she's a fukin' nutjob, gonna a keep my eye on 'er or she'll cut us all up fer speriments and fun

The solarium room is door less, the door long gone. A quick glance into the solarium find the place ruined (machine, one chair and a table) and useless.

The double doors of the gym are barred with a chain that can be easly removed from where you stand. Probably it is ment to keep whatever inside from getting to the corridor.

There are two more doors in the end of the corridor.

[Seon]

"Oh goodie, a locked door!" Dr. Crawford coos towards the gymnasium barricade. "I wonder what's behind it. But first of all, let's go see what we can scrounge up. Never go into a dangerous and unknown place without a pistol in one hand, I always say." she giggles. "Speaking of which, why did the Germans lock you people up in those prison facilities? How did you escape?"

[Mr. Handy]

"I'm Liz Penhaligon, the notorious hacker known as The Dragon," says Liz with a touch of pride. "They were transporting us to a work camp in Bristol when the convoy got ambushed by mutants. The driver of our vehicle was killed, and we were able to flee. You're right, we'd best search the other rooms before we remove that chain. We've got two pistols and a shotgun, but it would be nice if we could find some ammo to put in them."

[royya]

One door show the faint sign of "keep out" - the place is an old storage with metal shelves. probably held in the past clean sheets, towels and similar things long gone and pillaged. All that is left is a heavy layer of dust and mold. There is a metal rusted ladder going up to an hatch - probably to the roof. It is closed and barred from the inside.

The other room is accessible with a key card. A sign on the door reads "Managment". Using the key card you took from the father opens the door.
Piled matresses as beds, chairs, desks, towels, cloth, old porn magazines and more indicate that this place is where the trio lived.

In a sided room you spot 5 computers.

[Papa Gateau]

Frog heads in to the living quarters of the deceased trio and starts searching, looking for anything worth scavenging but in particular clothes and ammunition. As he does so he says to Crawford Like I said, I'm a librater an' I was librating some bits'n'pieces when I 'it a bit a bad luck, slipped 'n fell righ' in ter the 'ands of jerry, then like Lizzy sez, we 'it a bit o' good luck and made a break fer it

Next to one bed you find a small box with 16 pistol bullets. Under another matress you find a 8mm mauser hunting rifle with 8 bullets. No shotgun shells.
Inside a file cabinet you find 2 medkits, a set of regular cloth (size 8-10), police officer uniform (size 11-13), A woman's evening dress like one wears for a prom (size 6-8). Another cabinet holds some toys, cards, domino and a chess board.

An improvised laundry thread holds towels. Below it there is a large crate that holds a police baton, hand grenade and more porn magazines.
There is a large jerikan with water behind the door you just entered from and on a shelf that probably held in the past the photos of the manager family you find a shampoo and some soaps.
There are three tennis bags thrown in the next room where the computers are. On one of the tables next to the window there is a flowerpot with mint leaves.

"Wow, a treasure!!"
Natasha says
"With those medkits I can heal anyone hurt"

[Mr. Handy]

Liz takes a good look around. "I think Roland had the other pistol, but I'm not sure. I'll take the empty shotgun if nobody else wants it. Maybe we'll find more shells later, and it's still a decent club." She looks through the clothing, smiling when she sees the evening dress. "Ooh, pretty! Too small for me, but it should fit you perfectly, Natasha. And these regular clothes are just my size." She checks out the computer room and looks through the tennis bags, then checks out the computers to see if they still work.

[royya]

Please roll electronics for each of the five computers.

[Mr. Handy]

Liz has the most success with the second, third, and fifth computers.

[Seon]

"i'll be taking this," Dr. Crawford mutters out as she grabs the hunting rifle and the rifle ammo. She glances down at the metal lunch box. Ooh! Mentats! Radaway! These things are getting more difficult to come by. Mind if I take these pharmaceuticals?"

Dr. Crawford moves to examine the soap and shampoos. She could certainly find some use for that...

[royya]

Only the last computer is currently connected to the power outlet in the wall. Liz can try and plug them all one at a time but she finds that the second and third computers are burned without repair.

[Mr. Handy]

Liz starts by trying out the last computer, since it's already hooked up to the outlet. After that she intends to check the first and fourth computers.

[Papa Gateau]

I'm gonna keep an eye out fron'. Don' wont no-one creepin' up on us

He walks out and looks for a window that overlooks the pool

[royya]

Papa Gatea,please roll a spot check

The computer starts up ...

Liz finds a list of country members and accounts. The files are old and dated many tens of years ago ... the only new file is a crude pixel image file of a map of the region, indicating the surrounding area. The ruined, manless and mutants infested city of Reading is not far to the north. To the south and west are large forests mixed with barren toxic land, to the east someone marked a dot that reads "Wokkingham".



The first computer seems to be burned as well. The fourth computer begin to upload as sparks begin flare around, a moment pass and the mainframe explodes.
*Liz needs to pass a dodgeX2 skill roll or suffer 2 damage as she failed the electronics check on that computer*
