[Closed] Poisoned Utopia| Time: Evening| Weather: Cloudy
Darkstar64:
Follow me, this shouldn't take long.
I followed Archie into a large room. Judging by all the electronic devices and screens, it was some kind of 'observation room'. Archie was searching the back wall as I looked around. I heard a sudden impact and the sound of metal bending, making me jump a little. I looked to Archie, who was standing in front of a new entrance into a tunnel. He turned to me and waited. I stepped forward, standing in front of the passageway. The light from my weapon went far down into the tunnel, but still couldn't reveal anything to me but the walls of the tunnel.
Um...May I ask...what's down there?
(I didn't know what it looked like, so I hope this works.)
Tickles:
Remember the stealth test? Well, we're heading there to find a way into the sub-basement. In all the years I been here, I never even knew we had one, but this book says there is one. Oh, you'll need to hold on to the book and use it as a reference. I'm afraid that if I open it, I may end up destroying it, and it's pretty old.
Archie handed the book to nemo, then started into the hallway. Towards the end, there was a winding staircase made of stone.
Well, no turning back now, at least the robots are powered down. Don't need any mishaps in the dark.
Darkstar64:
Archie handed me the book. There was already a tear in it, meaning he had already tried to read it's contents. I followed him down the hall until we reached a stone staircase.
Well, no turning back now, at least the robots are powered down. Don't need any mishaps in the dark.
...Yeah.
I followed Archie down the spiraling staircase. I thought crossed my mind, one that needed an answer.
So...why did you choose me to come down here with you? I mean, there's a lot of other more experienced rebels who are a source of light...and you don't seem particularly fond of me, after...
I trailed off as I recalled the events that led up to this moment. The EMP that knocked out Wrench and sent the base into darkness, Wrench's limp robotic exterior, Archie's angry expression as I asked to power the base.
Tickles:
There may be other chosen that can provide light, but you're the only one that can shoot electricity. We already wrecked half the base since we don't really have a protocol to handle this, and I don't want to break down a random wall and risk destroying the generator. We're taking a different approach. Now, take that book and read from page 19.
Archie waited patiently. He was a little mad at this kid, then again, he didn't really know what was going to happen.
And it's not your fault we're in this mess. You didn't know what you were doing, and I hate to admit it, wrench made a large miscalculation. What doesn't make sense though is that the bots didn't take any orders from him.
Archie began to think about how this started, as if the bots were hacked. Axyl can't be the blame, and no one but Wrench knows the program.
Could wrench have planned this?
(Darkstar, you can make up anything written in the book. Get creative.)
Darkstar64:
(Oh geez, REALLY?! *Cracks knuckles*)

So it was for my power? I left the thought in the back if my mind and started flipping through the pages of the book.
And it's not your fault we're in this mess. You didn't know what you were doing, and I hate to admit it, wrench made a large miscalculation. What doesn't make sense though is that the bots didn't take any orders from him.
Well, it wouldn't be hard to cut off a robot's wireless communications retrieval. It woud only take the snipping of a wire in most cases. You just have to know which one.
I found Page 19, which had a couple paragraphs of text and a picture, which I ignored.
"Underneath the training hall lies the power source to the entire base. This power source is unique, as there is only one other like it in the entire world, which is what keeps the floating city of Utopia in the sky, one that I myself have also created."
I paused for a moment. That's one hell of a past, creating a paradise above this post-apocalyptic world we live in, and then focusing your efforts to destroy it.
U-um... "This power is guarded by many traps and hazards, which include, but are not limited to: Bear Traps, Poison Darts, Heat-sensing laser apparatuses, branching and maze-like paths, and Robot guards with locked AI set to exterminate." Can we turn around now?
Knowing the answer, I looked back to the book.
Nevermind...Umm...
I skipped around the page, looking for important information. I finally found the paragraph that explained the power source.
(If I'm not supposed to do this part, let me know, and I'll take it out.)
Oh, here. "The power source itself is a living entity, who, as punishment for their crimes, is to wallow in the darkness, giving life to the base as it watches us in envy of our freedom. His own life force is the source of power to this base."
I stood there, astonished by the book's sudden dark tone. A person, living down under the training hall, forced to power the base with his own life force? Suddenly, I didn't feel like I was on the righteous team anymore. I simply stood in silence after reading this.
