Last I checked, you were trying to get out of the underground basement/shelter, but the cats aren't letting you

That sounds about right

"murder cats, murder cats... murder, murder, murder, murder..."

9:03 PM

Any sim-related q's before we start?

none here

same

and your NPC is still there dying...

I guess the only option we have now is to see if there's an actual exit to this place.

rafter cats> :: looking at everyone from above ::

indeed. hopefully whatever exit there used to be is still there, otherwise we will make our own way out

Ugh...felines..

Seems like there's a slight breeze from that direction...maybe there's an exit that way.

((what an airhole....))

let's check it out. ::leads the way in the direction dana is pointing::

ACTION> that direction goes toward some (broken-looking) equipment

::takes a look a the broken equipment::

::scans equipment::

equipment> :: rusted metal casing, with some rubber and metals inside ::

9:11 PM

equipment> :: hollowed out ::

Maybe a ventilation system?

does it lead anywhere?

::scans for vents leading away from casing::

(( let me know....))

9:14 PM

from further down in the basement/tunnel> :: meow ::

:: Gets closer to the group ::

There is a network of vents, some of which head upwards...probably going to be blocked by fans and compressors on the surface, but nothing a phaser couldn't fix.

(( if the fans aren't dust already anyway ))

any signs of cats?

9:16 PM

though a phaser could take care of those to if we're fast enough

What of collapse from phaser fire?

I mean, don't go shooting indiscriminately.

9:17 PM

But you'd probably be fine if you're careful.

ACTION> :: there are some clanging metal sounds in the 'hvac' tube ::

I assume there are cats in there, too.

sounds like it

9:19 PM

I'll make sure it's safe before you follow

Duly noted.

::gets into the hvac tunnel::

Cats are good climbers.

so are Klingons

9:22 PM

::starts to climb::

9:22 PM

::going slowly::

::shimmies in behind Arizhel::

ACTION> the hvac tube splits in 3 and narrows as it goes up.

:: Squints :: Which path?

::yells back:: hey dana, which of these tunnels is the one that leads up? and will it stay a traversable size?

::scanning:: It seems like the middle one leads to the surface eventually. It should be fine, if a bit of a squeeze.

(( anyone take your unconcious NPC with you? ))

((I was planning on scouting it first))

(( remember, you are bulkier in EVA suits ))

((I assume we're going to lift him up with rope if we get out this way))

9:26 PM

((Also, Joy is still with him))

(( ah right.... 1 more npc...))

9:27 PM

(( :: twiddles thumbs :: ))

::choosing the left path::

ACTION> :: scurrying sound from up the path ... it's moving away ::

Probably a good sign...the tunnel actually leads somewhere.

9:31 PM

((Also, please don't kill off Joy...she's been such a good long-term NPC...))

(( better get out fast....))

((Or that))

let's get the others and come back, we don't want to get too far from them

Fair.

9:34 PM

::shimmies back down vent::

ACTION> the way they came from (back toward the original hole) is filled with moving eyes

OK, maybe not that way.

9:36 PM

We're being followed.

::heads to the front of the group::

9:36 PM

stand back ::tries to stun the cat(s)::

:: She fiddles with her phaser ::

cats> :: scurry ::

hopefully that will hold them off for now, but everyone stay close

9:38 PM

::heads back to the rest of the party::

9:38 PM

we think we might have a way out, but we'll need a way to carry USG

We've got a stretcher and rope.

9:39 PM

We can lift him out.

(( remember how narrow the way is ))

((I meant out of the original hole))

((oh))

someone needs to stay and watch him, but someone needs to get everyone else out. and I am the only able-bodied security person left here (edited)

Fair. I can find my way out of here...I've worked my fair share of ventilation systems in my day.

9:43 PM

::finger phaser::

(( Dana Los, Master Plumber ))

((Hey, you don't get to be CENG on a starship without doing some jobs from time to time))

I don't like enclosed spaces. Could be a Cardassian thing.

((A Cardassian and a Bajoran walk into an AC duct...))

Natell would you feel comfortable guarding USG? we can lift you out as well when we get around

I think I would.

Thank you. That makes things easier

Good luck with the cats.

::leads Dana and Joy back to the vents::

ACTION> there's some meowing in the distance toward the original hole

:: Goes to guard the USG ::

((I thought joy was with the dude who was dying))

9:50 PM

((OK, I'm confused as to where we are apparently))

((I thought we hadn't gotten that far away and had gotten back now to the others so we could re-split the party))

9:50 PM

((because nothing makes a mission go more smoothly than splitting the party))

((Anyway, I think it's just going to be me and Arizhel in the vents at this point))

(( and Natell, Joy, and dead guy with the cats ))

((if he's already dead then maybe we don't need to split the party))

((USG> I'm not dead yet!))

(( you'll be stone dead in a moment ))

(( Help help I'm being repressed ))

(( get in your last words ))

Anyway, back to the vents...

::heading back in the vent, now with a better idea of which way to go::

(( arizhel vented, someone hit the button!))

1

::following::

Vents, why'd it have to be vents...

((sus))

(( and... ))

next time, maybe you'll come out the other side of the vent

maybe even in once piece if we're lucky

You can't handle the vents

have a good night!
