WEEK SIX

16 Vacationers

Throughout your time on the island, there's been a steady rhythm; the murders, the trials, the executions, the clean-up afterwards that leave just up remnants for you to remember what was lost. This Monday morning though, things are different. The debris and any biohazards are cleared, but no effort has been made to repair the games at the arcade, or to restock the chemicals and damaged equipment at the laboratory.

Odd.

If you cast your eyes to the sky, you'll also notice that the distortion is also lingering—there's certainly less of it at least, a haze still lingering over the go-karts, one whirlpool lingering out in the sea. It could be worse, surely.

Though there's no new locations for you to take your mind off of all these oddities either. In fact, looking at your device to access the resort map area and scrolling past Kakapo's Nest triggers an error.

There’s one more, slightly more eclectic change: the kittybots, instead of having cute kitty ears and faces, are now without exception round-headed. This would make them look like ordinary robots, but their heads actually now look like a bowl of fish swimming, which occasionally form up into expressions. A change of pace for everything, it seems.

WEATHER ALERT:

Bulletin:
The current barometric pressure is 29.90 inHg, and is expected to steadily decline over the coming days. Rain and storms are likely in the latter half of the week.

[ How are you all doing this morning, everyone?

A loud ping resonates from your devices. Sorry, were you sleeping? Hope not! It will keep pinging a wonderful little musicbox noise until you look at the device. A little red ! seems to be hanging around the map app, and upon clicking it, there is something...new along with y'all's other map images.

The map shows a view of the topology and structures below the main island, Sungem's Peak. Currently, everything on the map is below the water line.

There's a complicated and thick maze of corridors that seem to lead to the outside, but none of them are visible on the landscape; looks like some changes have been made to close off the site. However, some of the points of egress have been marked -- these are the ones that seem to stray farther from the others and may indicate service tunnels or other less-traveled areas.

These are the easiest to access from the outside because they run closest to the natural walls of the island and therefore it is possible to force a way into them in the shortest amount of time. Care should still be taken, however, since these are technically underground structures.

Once inside, the tunnels will lead to the first of three levels: the robot hangar and intake lab. This is connected to the second level down by elevator, which leads to the holding area, the open-plan research lab and the records archive.

The final level is the furthest down, not directly adjacent to the second level nor directly downward, and is not connected to the other two. Moreover, it's only marked on the map as "SP” and has no other information. It's possible to access it, but gaining entrance will require time and even more careful aim than accessing the service tunnels.

That's about it!

Have fun. The time of reckoning will be soon upon you all~ ]

[ Ah... now the genre is back to looking like some kind of sci-fi horror with the maze added. Fun ]

[microtransactions]

[ shame, they knew it would probably be underwater but it does take out the easy option of 'an impenetrable door is only as impenetrable as the wall next to it.' ]

[chosenwang]

[ maybe they can take a shuda to the walls. shuda and chuuya can probably help them make their own doors ]

[microtransactions]

[ nah, making their own doors isn't the problem, plenty of them can do that.

it's the uh, decompression if you open anything up underwater that you shouldn't that is. ]

[ looks at the map

thinks back to the first day
