"Let's look around for a hammer." Rona starts looking in every corner. "Also look for anything else that will help us to survive."

"I am sorry, I cannot find any hammer here, I don't want to dwell to far away from you guys, what about this pipe, can you use it?" Rona holds out a piece of pipe she found in one of the corners. She looks apprehensively around her, suddenly she doesn't think it a good idea to open the door.

"That might work," says Jon. "We'd have to use it to lever off the padlock. That will damage it for certain, but I don't think we care about that. I don't think I'm the strongest person here, though."

"Why don't we all try together?" Rona takes hold of the pipe, motioning for the others to take hold of the pipe.

"Sure, if it's long enough," says Jon, gripping the pipe. "If we can get enough leverage, we shouldn't need that much strength anyway."

"Well, let's try all, I'm not exactly a very strong person too".- says Fabiano

With a big lunge they tore the padlock from the door. Rona looks at the door with apprehension. "What is hidden in the next room?"

OOC: The Keeper has been busy repairing his car. Sorry guys.

You did however get a new transmission about the group at The Terminal. They seem to have been overrun by Spetznas troops. According to the transmission they thought a group of military in black fatigues were their transport to the camp. They were wrong. Their current location and status is unknown.

The group over in the wilderness left a last signal in the snowy slopes far east of the camp. Apparently they are hiking it out in the snow.

The padlock breaks. Behind the steel wire cage wall there are cabinets blocking the view. Behind them you find a desk and a bed. On the bed is a body covered by a white sheet.
Across the desk are several documents spread open, showing case profiles. The files are from an expedition in 1986. A group of students were out on an excursion and went missing. This seems to be a looking station for GRU, the military intelligence of the USSR. Apparently the studio has provided English props to go with the show. Cause of death and wounds can be read for eight of the ten students. Maps showing where they were killed can also be found among the papers.

"That's serious bad news about the Terminal group," says Jon. "You don't want to mess with the Spetznas. I don't think World War Three has started yet, or they'd have much more important things to do right now, but something's up. There could be more of them on the way here right now."

"That's probably a test of some sort. I mean, if we are in a tv show, it wouldn't be very good to their image killing the members of a reality show. Anyway, what are we supposed to do? To run outside and avoid any presence?"- says Fabiano

"No, going out there is not the answer," says Jon. "They're far more used to Russian winters in Siberia than we are, and I'm sure they're good at tracking. Even if they aren't, it isn't hard to follow footprints in the snow. I'm not sure what the answer is, though, or if there even is one. I don't think they killed the other group either."

OOC: Would you guys hate me if we say the producers cut this show for lack of viewers?
I had an idea where to take this and it doesn't feel like it will be a great plot for the game.

It bugs me that I get ideas that sounds good in my head, but when on-site they fall apart.

My other points for Gaming Ideas are:

Maple Hill, the western scenario which has lured forth some interest in the starting-a-game-thread.

Alternatively, I'd love to take a stab at The Emerald Hammer from DGML. It will have some ties to L.A. Skinner and the first chapter sits on my laptop.
It's about rare books and neo Nazis. One of the hooks from LASKIN.

Are you guys up for one of those instead?

Cheers!
