[quote]After replacing the hood and pulling on his gloves snugly, Otto released his iron-grip on the sledgehammer and crawled into one of the hospital beds, letting both arms hang loosely from the sides. "We're in bad shape, people." "Speak for yourself old man." Liam chuckled as he gave Otto’s shoulder a quick pat before sitting in a bed next to him. Walking up to the robot, Kat moved her right hand towards the base of its neck to check the model number. Pulling out a fat disc-shaped object the size of her palm out of her rucksack, she flicked a switch on the side and waited for the disk to display a small menu screen at its centre, listing several different model names. Flor began raiding the medical shelves. He began grabbing gauze, pads and wrap. "But there is some truth to what you say Mr…." Said Liam never taking his eyes off his gun and looking around the room. "We are under prepared for the situation we currently are in. We need, or at least most of you need some proper weapons if we even want to think of surviving today. Say all you want about your sigil’s but I seriously doubt that those things can keep you alive against something like the grit. So I suggest that one of this …..group? are we even grouping? Ah no matter as I was saying I suggest that one of our priorities should be to get you lot armored up properly. Oh and I’m Liam by the way nice to meet you all." (As Flor kept moving along the shelves he noticed some healing sigils. "Sweet!") "I also suggest that we get off this wall as quickly as possible. I doubt all the grit charged the city at once so my best guess is that some are roaming the floors of the wall and I would hate to run into another one today." Liam said looking back at the group before slowly entering the surgery room. Unable to find anything quickly in the first room, Flor followed Liam into the surgery room. He didn't notice any bags, but he did quickly notice the sustainment sigil. "Yes!" He quickly darted over and barely managed to put the sigil between his fingers. Looking around at the rest of the ‘group’, Kat gave a casual wave. “I’m Kat. I’d say it’s nice to meet you all, but I kinda wish I was meeting you in a different circumstance… I’m a mechanic, do all kinds of jobs really but my specialty is robots. I think I can try and get some useful information out of this robot if I just quickly adjust its loyalty circuits with this.” Flor left the surgery room again and moved onto room 8F1.[/quote] Flor had only stayed long enough to scan the surgery room before he was off again, on the hunt for all the loot the infirmary had to offer. Liam, however, still lingered. The surgery room was clean and mostly bare of supplies except for what Flor had just carried off. Machines dominated the room, some with frightening attachments meant for all manner of cutting and threading and implanting and uploading. A locked cabinet contained various sizes of prototype artificial limbs and bionic implants, while another quite certainly held link chips and brain-scan backup drives. Something dim and pink glowed underneath the surgery table. A stone statue of a little girl was curled up under the table, hands over her ears in fright. A pink stone floated at her chest. [quote]"I need to pee." A moment passed before Moth realized he said it out loud. The talking had stopped, and in the silence Moth could feel himself turning red. Vincent's expression changed to an "are you serious?" expression as he gestured towards the room with the label "TOILET" on it. "I'm sure you can take care of yourself," he told the man. Flor walked back out into the infirmary carrying a hefty EMT bag. “There!” Kat said, breaking the magnification sigil’s circle and closing the back of the robot’s head. More smoke escaped Otto's mouth as he spoke beneath his hood, "Young lady, nicely done with the machine. Perhaps before it sends us off gallivanting throughout the city, it can direct our friend in the corner to the nearest wash closet..." He subtly tipped a salute to Moth with his pipe and returned it to his lips, continuing a slow and steady drag/exhale. Circling round to the front of the Robot, Kat gave it a once over. “Please tell us the fastest route to Periphery from this room. Also, please indicate in your description any nearby armouries.” Vincent cleared his throat. "Perhaps we should ask it a different question? The thing could just say go out the door and hit the trolley." He turned his attention to the robot. "Do the stairs go all the way down to the ground? Also, tell us of any armories along the way down if any and any that are near the base of the Wall itself."[/quote] The robot's eyes flashed and glittered, and it stood up straight, a head taller than Liam. A big square of light turned on at the robot's chest and displayed a map of the wall. "THE FASTEST ROUTE TO THE GROUND LEVEL IS A STRAIGHT JUMP FROM THE OUTSIDE LANDING." A red dot appeared at their location on the lit-up map, and a dotted line followed it as the dot leaped to the ground. "THE QUEEN'S ARMORY IS LOCATED AT THE NORTH WALL, LEVEL FOURTEEN, 2D6." The view changed, and another dot appeared at the appropriate place at the north side of the wall. "ADDITIONAL ARMAMENTS ARE LOCATED EVERY TWENTY FEET AT THE TOP OF THE WALL." A view of the circumference of the wall appeared, dotted red. "EMERGENCY PROTOCOL ARMAMENT STOREROOM IS LOCATED DIRECTLY BELOW YOUR CURRENT LOCATION LEVEL SIX ROOM 5Q4." A map of the interior of the wall appeared, with their current location marked and a red dot blinking far below, closer to the ground. "BATTLE-READY IMPLANTS ARE LOCATED ON THE CURRENT FLOOR SURGERY ROOM." This time a map of the infirmary and the surrounding rooms appeared, with a red dot in the surgery room. "PROJECT WILLOW LOCATION IS UNKNOWN." The red dot disappeared. "THE STAIRWELLS EACH DESCEND FIFTEEN LEVELS AND ARE LOCATED IN CLOSE PROXIMITY AND MAY BE ROUTED TO THE GROUND." A map of the wall interior appeared again, with the stairwells highlighted in red. The stairwells were staggered every fifteen floors but could be easily navigated to the ground. [h3]BOOM[/h3] An enormous noise thundered outside, and the room shivered slightly as if from impact. "THE WASH ROOM IS LOCATED TO YOUR LEFT." [h3]BOOM[/h3] The second time, the explosion was clearer. The Grit were in the process of knocking a hole through the wall, down at the ground level.
