WEEK THREE

26 Vacationers

The events of the past weekend, the past week, may linger on your mind as you awaken to the sun rising on your third week on Sungem's Peak. The rays of the sun are welcoming as always, and so are the amenities, and the new island— Kingfisher's Retreat.

The theme this week certainly seems to be relaxation and excitement, perhaps with a mind to distract all vacationers that your number has decreased by two. Or maybe you're the type to take a plunge in the name of your sacrificed vacationers? Either way, there's plenty of do, including more tasks for the objective minded.

!

TASKS:

Dear:
How are you enjoying your vacation? Are you missing your friends or family back home? Write them a postcard and post it on the bulletin board!
(REWARD: RARE!)

Gifts:
Everyone loves gifts, so this week give one to someone else! It can be a physical gift, a gift from the heart, or any other kind of gift.
(REWARD: RARE!)

Take a Plunge
Take advantage of the waterfall, cold plunge, or even plain trust with one another. The point is to take a leap of faith together!
(Reward: Common)

(( REMINDER: Task submissions are due Friday by 9 PM EST/6 PM PST. ))

(( OOC: Murder proposals are due by Tuesday at 4 PM EST / 1 PM PST, for the current week's murder. Feel free to submit for later weeks too!

Also, as always, your admins can be contacted for a chat. ))

[ Clicking on the reports brings up on the screen: ]

REPORT 1/3

EXPERIMENT #Z_12
WEIGHT: 68kg
PROPERTIES: Organic, expired, humanoid

REPORT:

Object was placed into LELANTOS at approximately T06:12:13.000Z. Tracing yielded a 26% synchronization, with retrieval initiated despite synchronization not at mandatory levels.

RESULTS: An inorganic object weighing 850g was retrieved. Object suffered from heavy oxidization.

[ A low quality image follows the text , and a prompt appears: print report? ]

[townmusician]

[Of course he’s printing this report. He needs all the Evidence Of Wild Shit he can get so he can give it to someone who’ll actually theorycraft with all of this. If he can get the picture, too, that’s going to get printed despite the trash quality.

Then onto, presumably, report 2/3. I’m so sorry but he’s gotta get everything he can from this computer.]

[killerwaves]

[ The potato quality picture does get printed out with the report! Yay. Onto report #2: ]


EXPERIMENT # Z_13
WEIGHT: 58.9.kg
PROPERTIES: Organic with synthetic part(s), expired, humanoid

REPORT:

Object was placed into LELANTOS at approximately TT05:33:07.000Z. Tracing yielded a 31% synchronization, with retrieval initiated despite synchronization not at mandatory levels.

RESULTS: An organic object weighing 808g was retrieved. Object functioned briefly and emitted heat before going inert after 482 seconds.

[ The picture with this one is also low quality but it might be better than nothing?? ]

[townmusician]

[…Oh. He does not like the pieces that are coming together with all of this.

Printing out report two, now on to report three to see what (who) got chucked into this LELANTOS.]

[killerwaves]

EXPERIMENT #Z_14
WEIGHT: 61.5kg
PROPERTIES: Organic, expired, humanoid

REPORT:

Object was placed into LELANTOS at approximately TT05:34:13.000Z. Tracing yielded a 38% synchronization, with retrieval initiated despite synchronization not at mandatory levels.

RESULTS: A biomass weighing 5.4kg with a precipitation of ice crystals was retrieved.

[ Along with the lovingly rendered picture for this report. And Zelkov shouting but Haruka was out of line of sight for the grape of wrath, luckily. ]

[townmusician]

[Printing that out and looking up at Zelkov as he waits… Is he okay…

He’s staring at some goop on the wall, which is probably fine?]

…Is everything okay?

[Now, time to go back to the computer and check out the network. Please don’t die, Zelkov.]

[killerwaves]

[ It's fine.

>NETWORK! There's a lot of grayed out boxes on screen here, with numerous other letter and outpost combinations along with a flashing alert. In the middle is a particularly large box titled KRATOS that has lines connecting it all the other outposts but K-4 ]

UNABLE TO TRANSMIT TO MAINFRAME. OUTPOST IS IN RECEIVE MODE ONLY.

SECURITY ALERT: DOOR TO OUTPUT K-4 UNSECURE FOR 7100 seconds

[ The seconds number on the security keeps ticking up along with the actual seconds. ]

[townmusician]

[Time to use that hot pink pen to write down KRATOS in big letters, as well as the other outpost combinations and a note about K4 not being connected.

Also that security alert.

Hm.

How long has it been since the beeping started?]

[killerwaves]

[ A bit less than 7100 seconds, which for those of you playing at home is a bit short of 2 hours. Though in the beginning the beeping was very quiet so it probably took a bit of time for it to be noticeable. ]

[townmusician]

[Good, that means the security alert didn't start with them getting into the room, so Haruka doesn't have to panic too badly.

Is there anything else on the computer worth looking at? Or on the office side of the room?]

[killerwaves]

[ There is the ??? and hitting that yields an error: NOT AUTHORIZED. PLEASE CONTACT THE PROJECT ADMINISTRATORS FOR ACCESS. Aside from that, there's nothing else to check out on this side of the room or office.

Haruka can probably see the screen on Zelkov's side of the room light up though with this countdown. ]

[passetemps]

This mysterious violet projectile emerged from an object in the laboratory at an alarming speed.

[ as he takes his picture and leaves the goop there to die ]

It is fortunate that you did not find yourself in its trajectory.

[townmusician]

Did you dodge it?

[Uwah... Zelkov-san, so cool.]

Have you found anything interesting?

[does he even know what he's found,,]

[passetemps]

I did.

[ to the dodging part. it was very cool. ]

It appears that this machine can accept specimens housed in vials, but to what end, I do not know. Perhaps if we insert one we can find out for ourselves.

[ no, but he tried. ]

[townmusician]

[If only that countdown wasn't so long...]

...We should probably head out soon, though. There's some sort of security alert that I think started when that beeping did.

[So extra motivation to bounce if there's nothing else for Zelkov to see.]

Was able to print out some weird, sus reports, though!

[Please be proud of him.]

[passetemps]

"Sus reports"?

...Yes, I believe it would be wise to avoid drawing out our time here too much longer.

[townmusician]

Suspicious.

[Waving his stack of papers.]

You can read them over once we're out of here.

[Now, time to escape!!]

[passetemps]

I see...

[ why not just say that??? he shakes his head. ]

Go ahead to the open door and I will follow behind you.

...Though I believe this should go without saying, please be judicious about with whom you share any details of our findings here.
