VLDR - Zero Tether Dilemma | Federico End

[AcidicBreeze]

Kaitlyn looks back down and starts tapping on there watch again frowning heavily.

[Phinerxen]

Vano, lovingly, punches Roque. It doesn't seem to do much damage.

Aww, that barely hurt. I knew you loved me...

[Cyantic]

Oberyn passes the coded notebook to Nelson, who begins to read in earnest - a flicker of recognition passing across his face. He purses his lips in concentration.

*Vano tilts her head at Roque before shaking her head*
Docks are on a timer, they'll open soon. The doors to the red, grey, and purple sections are fused shut and likely haven't been used in a very long time. I could open them up with a blow torch and a couple hours but I think theres a better way to interconnect us all than this, has to be if he put us all in our different sections. I took a look at the bracelet now that I had a moment to just think. It is exstremely cheaply and shoddily made. The only reason I wouldn't fuck with it is that it's made that if you make one mistake fucking with it you die.

[Knockoff]

After I solved a few things in the rec room, I obtained a revolver and strange purple rag. The rag reminds me of starlight. That’s essentially it on my end. I looked at the lobby for a passage like the archives implied, but couldn’t find it.

Leontiy mentioned that he obtained the watches for a cheap price. Do you think you could learn anything by picking open one of the watches we’ve found while searching?

[spretznaz]

Can I see that rag, quickly?

[Knockoff]

Sure, that’s not a problem.

[Cyantic]

Hywel tosses Fabiano a starlight rag.

[TheNiceOne16]

*Vano takes a moment before noding*
I can likely learn something yes. Throw me the watch and I'll check it out back in P lab. Additionally if you have some bullets I could make a shaped charge out of the gunpowder. I understand if you'd rather keep the bullets if you have them though, just putting the option out there.

[Knockoff]

Fred has one of the watches we found, so you might be better off asking him. Should warn you in advance that the watch is broken, though.

For now, I think I’ll have to pass. This gun doesn’t have much in the way of bullets and it’s currently my only line of self defense. Apologies.

[spretznaz]

Hmm. Not what I was hoping for.

[Knockoff]

Yes, I’m not sure what purpose it has either.

[TheNiceOne16]

I thought up the logistics on blowing our way out of here. All I need is a single bullet to create a shaped charge adequate for most doors here but these doors right there? I’d need C4 to do the job.

[Hawkwing425]

Ah, wonderful. Firearms.

[ChubbyMooshroom9]

That's the weapon you're finally concerned about?

Vano, I'll give you the watch in a second. I just want to see if I can potentially access any old logs that you didn't encounter.

[Hawkwing425]

Who said I'm only concerned about the gun? This whole place is concerning, along with everyone and everything in it.

At least the feeling of concern is slowly numbing into a dull acceptance.

[Knockoff]

Perhaps later, Vano. If I’m being completely honest, I’m not exactly enthused by all the weapons going about. I understand everyone else is likely just being mindful and has no intention of using them, but I don’t think it’s impossible someone’s started thinking about X-passes. I want to do what I can to help everyone escape, but it’s too early for me to make that leap. I’m sorry.

[TheNiceOne16]

*Vano walks over in her full ass plate mail and slaps Hawk on the back*
Aw come on! I'm not concerning. It's just me, your friend, Vano. I wouldn't harm a fly.
*You can here the shit eating grin from inside the helmet before she turns to Hywel*
Oh I already accepted your choice. I was just thinking out loud honestly.

[Hawkwing425]

Hawk jolts a bit at the physical contact.
Friend, huh?

[TheNiceOne16]

Well I would call you an acquaintance, but you happen to not be an incompetent moron atleast in matters not relating to a fight and you've helped me out when I asked for it. Those actions mean something.
*Vano nods to herself*

[Hawkwing425]

I'm glad to hear we're on good terms, then.

[TheNiceOne16]

I'm not, it means I can't not give a fuck about you. Which is sad because it's my favorite way to handle people.

[Hawkwing425]

That's true. Caring about people is a bit of a burden, isn't it? Gives you a weak spot.

[Cyantic]

Federico tosses Vano a broken watch.

A warning blares out on intercom.
"Warning: O1. Warning: O1. Warning: O1." After a few moments, it's silenced.

A horrible grating sound can be heard.

[TheNiceOne16]

You said that either like a shrink or someone who's about to kill my whole family to get back at me. Also thats irritating.
