Athletics [Basic]

>So recap: We're in the vehicle when they find our gun. Muldoon cuts in telling dispatch to F-Off and we can keep it. Also chewing out that lazy Emanuel.

So I want to know, do we have any fire fighting equipment besides a basic fire extinguisher?

Anyways, drive to the Geothermal plant.

>>14128404

What ever happened to you?

>>14128387
If I got this right, we can improve our skills with specialities. Maybe we should give ourselves Firearms [Small-Arms] since we got a revolver and a shotgun we probably have to use.

>>14128452

I was thinking that too, but I really would like BASIC Athletics just in case.

And small arms I would think applies to the Tranq and Magnum, not the Shotgun.

Guess we have 1 for each so far. First to 3 votes wins?

>>14128404

I too am curious about where you went.

1 Vote Athletics [Basic]
1 Vote Firearms [Small Arms] (This applies to one handed weapons.)

Anyone else got something?

>>14128598
I'm going for firearms. We've already been putting the tranq gun through its paces and shit has not even begun to hit the island yet.

>>14128452

Long story short, I was temporarily incarcerated. Unfortuitous times. Chair Warmer has things well under control, and I'm glad everyone is having fun with the game. I'll keep watching.

>>14128610
Good point: changing vote

I agree on [Small Arms].

Also, shouldn't we be putting on the chainmail by now? It doesn't do much good sitting in the Explorer.

rolled 98 = 98

Percent chance the hurricane is already headed towards Isla Sorna by now

Firearms would become scarce later on. We should take a skill that keeps on giving.

I suggest Survival for food, shelter, etc. coupled with Dinosaur Knowledge to know whether we should eat a dead dinosaur corpse. I'm new, so please correct me should I be making mistakes.

>>14128716
Yeah, now that it's established that Muldoon officially doesn't give a fuck about what Emanuel thinks, and how easily he overruled Dispatch, there's not much either of them can do to stop us.

We're gonna be shooting dinos pretty often, I think.
Firearms [Small Arms]

>>14128727
If we have to worry about long term survival on the island full of man-eating dinosaurs, we are already all kinds of fucked.

>>14128756
If a kid can do it so can we.
Voting Survival, maybe Mechanics for better repairs. Arguably Computers are going to make the difference between this becoming a Site B (abandon in place) scenario or not.

Majority seems to be for Firearms [Small Arms].

Now to business.

("Listen, Emanuel, I know you probably don't like me much, and might even blame me for what happened to your friend back there. I'm sorry things went down the way they did. This park is breaking down out there, in a big way. The rules aren't always gonna keep us safe. Dispatch isn't always gonna have our backs. I promise you, I am gonna do my best to keep you, me, Juan, and everyone else on this island alive as best I can."

"There's too much at stake for this bureaucratic bullshit right now. I need you to trust me out there, because if you don't it's gonna put a lot more people then just us on the line. You understand me? If the geothermal plant fails, the fences fail. If the fences fail, we are all fucked."

"We on the same page, or you gonna keep reporting me for stupid shit like bringing an extra gun in case the raptors show up again?")

And:

("Emanuel, you've now fucked me twice ratting me out to dispatch. Dispatch is what got Juan's buddy back there killed.

Dispatch would have long since got me killed if I didn't bend the rules some.

If you insist on having that corporate stick up your ass, dispatch will get you killed.

And if you don't agree with me bending the rules to keep us safe, why, I'll just let you wander, wounded, into rooms filled with dozens of dinosaurs that are well known for finishing off and eating wounded animals.

You'd have died back there if it wasn't for me, and if you don't respect the choices I make, then you can fucking do this job with out me, understand? And you won't live to see tomorrow.

If nothing else, I'll make sure of it."

Possible scratch that last bit.)

I believe these were what you guys wanted to say to Emanuel.

>>14128814

Vote for 2nd option. I did a pretty good intimidation roll yesterday, so this would go more with what has already occurred.

>>14128780
No. Long-term goal is that the dinos DON'T overrun the park.
You're just as bad as Emanuel.

>>14128814
2nd one. It's gonna make him betray us later on, but the dude is a dick and deserves it.

>>14128814
No, I recall the first option as :
"Emanuel, I hate you, and you hate me. Nothings going to change that. But one thing that Dispatch hasn't told you, is that the dinos started breeding.
"That's why Muldoon was back there. And let me tell you another thing: the DRT's and Security scans of the dino trackers showed nearly double the number of raptors than there should be, and they were outside of the pens.
"Now, you want to go into another building with just some tranq guns, or would you rather have a real weapon?"

Also, the last part of Option 2 was supposed to get stricken.

>>14128814

Voting for first one. As somebody said in the last thread, Emanuel is probably just under-paid and scared of the dinos and thinks that reporting us and being a general kissass will make him safer somehow. He might be a giant dick, but making him hate us even more than he already does will probably bite us later.

First option. I don't think we need to be threatening, and we certainly don't need any more enemies.

Making dinner, gonna be gone for a little while. Be back when I can.

I'll be on sporadically for a while.

So we are going with the 2nd option?

>>14129075
Seems that way, yeah.

It seems voted equally on both sides.

>>14129075
No, 1st Option.

Going with option one, looked like it had more support last thread.

He looks away from you, a quick glance shows his eyes filled with thought.

"Alright." He shrinks back into his seat. The drive to the geothermal plant is bumpy and rough. Jungle gives way to grass gives way to rock and you've reached the plant. A rather haphazard collection of concrete and metal buildings, mostly underground. Smoke is billowing from the largest building.

"Dispatch, the plant seems to be a lot worse than anything I'm going to be able to do, let alone without the proper equipment, ETA on the fire teams?"

>>14129312
Drive up to the smoking building.
Get out, equip fire extinguisher.
Check area for dino tracks.

"*static* Fire teams are picking up water, they'll get there soon. There should be hoses on the inside connected to the plant's water tanks, use those. Now get going!"

You drive up and hop out with the extinguisher, Emanuel and Juan follow.

You're walking on solid, if fractured, stone, there are no tracks. But you spot a fossilized plant. Cool.

>>14129477
Try to get to where dispatch says hoses would be, using fire extinguisher if necessary.

Get Emanuel to tell Juan to help him operate handle the nozzle while we get the hose uncoiled and the water flowing.

Careful of dinos along the way (even though, as terrestrial vertebrates, they should be afraid of fire).

You find no evidence of dinos being in the area

You head inside the building to a storage room. Flames cover the walls, with jets of steam come from burst piping all over. A glass case containing a fire hose is on the far wall.

>>14129657
Take care crossing the room, and get hose.

Don't get steamed, put out any fire you need to cross.

Do we still have our gas mask, or did we hand it back to the DRT that took care of the compy problem?

It might be useful if the smoke starts to get heavy, as that is a major danger in poorly insulated indoor fires.

Dodging the blasts of steam makes you slow down, but you extinguish a way to the fire hose and smash the case open. Uncoiling the hose, you grab the nozzle and hold on to the lever controlling water flow.

>>14129732

The whole team still has them, didn't have a chance to give them back.

>>14129732
More of a problem is poorly VENTILATED spaces, tropical storage rooms tend to be pretty drafty unless they are climate controlled.

If the fire is so bad that we'd need a respirator, we have no business fighting it.

>>14129796

My bad. I'm kinda drowsy and typed the wrong word. You hit it dead on, though.

Still, question's all the same; if we have the gas mask, we might as well make use of it (unless communication is imperative). It'd also be good to keep for future situations, even if this current one doesn't require its use.

>>14129783
Start at bottom of fires, work our way up, getting this room at least passable.

You start throwing down water along the walls, sparks fly as the water hits, but the fire goes out. You methodically sweep the walls and slowly the fires go out. The steam is still wailing, but the fires are gone.

>>14129932
That's just this room though?

>>14129951

Yep.

>>14129961
Alright, let's get to work on the next room.

I have a feeling this session might be a little slow. Some of the regulars are probably out for the evening.

You step into the next room, looks to be a control room. Cut wires dangle from the ceiling, showering the floor in sparks. Blown out computers sit on a table in front of a window. The floor is covered in a sheet of flame, with the walls carrying patches of fire as well as the ever-present steam jets. An overturned barrel lies in the doorway between this room and the next.

>>14130085
Shit. I don't think we're in a position to deal with something like this. What say we withdraw and check again on the ETA of that fire team?

Keeping it bumped. Bloody Friday nights.

This looks a bit too dangerous for our skill level. Electrical fires are completely different. I agree that we should check on the ETA on the fire team, then judge what to do after we get the answer.

You leave Juan and Emanuel to see what they can do while you head to the storage room. You take off your mask and get your radio,

"*static* We got a Hypsy herd on the road the fire teams were taking. They diverted to the take the road on the Eastern end of the island. Their location is currently at the air strip."

Note to self: this looks a bit like sabotage. The cut wires and overturned barrel are of special interest.

Guess we can't afford to wait on the fire team. Sparks mean the electricity is still running in the area; maybe the fire would be best dealt with in these rooms if the electricity were turned off, temporarily? Do Juan and Emanuel have an opinion on this?

Maybe tell dispatch that it's an electrical fire and ask for their diagnosis.

In the mean time, we should get a good look at this overturned barrel (the cut wires will be out of reach and too dangerous to approach). Do we smell gasoline, or any other sort of propellant, when we have our mask off?

>>14130085
>Cut wires

Just as I thought. Sabotage. Point it out to Emanuel. If he understand just how bad shit is getting out here, maybe he'll trust us more.

Ask for direction RE electrical fire, note signs of sabotage over radio.

Hopefully Muldoon will hear.

>>14130373

NO

Do NOT mention sabotage over the radio. The Head of Security is on the look out for a maintenance guy who's a little too curious. We don't want to draw his attention to us.

Next time we see/speak to Muldoon we bring it up, but ONLY when we KNOW he's listening.

"*static* Shut the electrical power off to the building, there should be a breaker somewhere on the back of the main building."

You head back to the control room, Emanuel and Juan have managed to put out the fire on the floor through excessive use of the fire extinguishers. The floor looks like it's covered in snow. They're currently trying to put out the wall fires. You head over to the barrel. You can definitely smell gasoline, and the barrel is marked INFLAMMABLE.

>>14130389
Find breaker, Shut down power.

Find put out as much of the other fires as we can, get Emanuel and Juan to start splicing cut wires.

>>14130389

Draw Emanuel's attention to the cut wires. What is his reaction?

>>14130437

Can't tell, he's wearing a gas mask.

Indicate to them we need to head out so we can shut off power. When they're out, mention our suspicions to Emanuel.

You run outside and find the breaker at the back of the building. Opening it, you see a lot of switches.

Make a Mechanics check. d100.

Hope it works.

rolled 27 = 27

>>14130485

come on baby

>>14130577

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-

rolled 40 = 40

Oops.

Shit like mains tends to be well labeled, this must really be a chicken shit operation.

rolled 3 = 3

It's just a circuit breaker, the TN can't be too high.

>>14130577
>>14130596
>>14130613

OH COME ON

rolled 97 = 97

>>14130613
ignore this I forgot a zero

Though the breakers are unmarked, you've done enough work to know the layout the park usually uses. You hit the main breaker and head back inside. The sparks from the wires have stopped and the fire on the walls has been put out. But you don't see Emanuel or Juan anywhere.

>>14130662
Damn.
Grab the hose and call out to them.

>>14130662
Goddamn it.

Go to truck, get gun, get armor.

>>14130717
Check for dino tracks while we're outside.

You tug on the hose, it doesn't budge. You follow it into the next room. You see a huge boiler in the center of the room with a catwalk surrounding it. You look down and see the boiler extends at least two floors down, and the bottom floor is covered in a raging inferno. The boiler is creaking and hissing.

"Mierda, eso es un montón de fuego!" You look over and see the two of them standing outside of view from the window, Juan is spraying down water onto the bottom level and Emanuel is pointing down there. They're shouting at each other.

"Mantenga la pulverización de agua!"

"No está haciendo nada!"

"No me importa! Es lo único que podemos hacer!"

>>14130786
Call out.
"Emanuel! Status report!"

>>14130717

Uncomfortable thought: regardless of whether or not we have permission (which we do), Emmanuel knows where we keep the gun. Is it loaded, are the bullets near it, and why don't we keep it on us at all times since we can?

He shouts back.

"There's a lot of fucking fire down there, and we can't get down! The ladder melted!"

The boilers groaning grows louder, and the seams pop and start leaking steam.

>>14130844
We might as well start I guess. But I'm not carrying any gunpowder in here, man, there's a goddamn fire.

>>14130786
>spraying water on overheated boiler

Go and shut off their hose, then FLEE

>>14130897
"Hold on. I'll look for another way down. If you have anything left in your fire extinguisher, use it to try to cool the boiler."

>>14130897
RUN LIKE FUCK

RUN LIKE FUCK

WHY THE SHIT DOES A GEOTHERMAL PLANT HAVE A BOILER?

WHY, JESUS, WHY!

>>14130935

Geothermal pumps water down into the crust to heat it, then uses the steam to spin turbines. You guess that this is where they store the water.

>>14130934
Don't cool a overheated boiler, you'll just make it explode.

Get dispatch on the line, there must be a safety valve or something we can break off open.

"Shit! Emmanuel, I think we're out of our element. Tell Juan we need to get out of here NOW. I think we're about to lose the boiler."

>>14130945
Geothermal plants don't store hot water.

>>14130959

The water isn't supposed to be hot. This is where they store the water before heating.

Call in. "Dispatch! We have an emergency! Some kind of storage tank in here that's gonna blow any minute. Are the fire team coming or what?"

GET OUT
GET OUT OF THERE

>>14130964
There is no reason for them to store the water in what amounts to a pressure vessel. In fact, they need lots of ventilation in order to allow the gases the water accumulates during the cycling to dissipate.

>>14130998
Dropping this to not disrupt the narrative.

Run like fuck.

"*static* There should be a safety valve on the bottom floor. Failing that, there's a fail-safe on the computers in the control room. Either of those will work. Fire teams are still a couple of minutes away. Hold tight."

>>14130998

Attempting to justify this is a fruitless endeavor on my part, since you seem more knowledgeable about geothermal plants than I am. So you win. Go with it please.

>>14130949
I fully support this, just remember to get thr fuck out of the way when you activate the safety. burning steam everyware.

>>14131029
Get pistol, shoot the tank at distance from cover.

We can't survive popping a safety release manually, and we've shut off the power.

So we shoot the top of the tank to vent the steam.

>>14131029
"Dispatch, the fire seems to have taken out the computers in the control room and the ladder is looking like a bad plan."
Check and see if there's any other way down that looks immediately obvious. If there's nothing then we abandon the plant as a lost cause.

>>14131045
Changed my answer, do this. Make sure Juan and Emanuel are to safety before we do it.

>>14131029
Get gun, evacuate the cholos.

Vent steam with bullets from long range.

>>14131070
We can't leave them. Emanuel can corroborate that the sabotaged wires in the control room were here when we got there, which proves we can't be the mole.

With the power out, I'm not even sure we can try the fail-safe on the computers in the control room. I'm not even sure if the computers are still able to function.

I'd warn the other two before shooting the tank to vent the steam. No reason to be close to it. The only problem is if the ground has remnants of propellant (gasoline or what-have-you), as sparks can cause another fire.

>>14131076
Evacuate cholos means get Emanuel and Juan to safety, moron.

>>14131085
If we shoot from the control room we might be okay, it's covered in extinguisher foam.

>>14131085
It's really hard to start a fire with muzzle blast.

>>14131092
Sorry, I misread the word "Evacuate" as something else.

>>14131097
I meant, the bullet hitting the boiler would cause sparks, but at this point it's our best plan.

>>14131115
Shit, let's do it. What other option do we have at this point.
"Guys, get out of here, I have a plan!"

>>14131115
We've got a shotgun with slugs and a .44 with hollowpoints.

either should punch though hot metal that isn't hardened, but neither is steel core and able to cause a spark.

>>14131145
As the gun expert what do you recommend in this instance?

>>14131145

I yield to your knowledge then. Let's do this!

>>14131160
The .44

Using shotgun or .44?

>>14131175
Survey says .44.

You don't need to tell them twice. They drop the hose and run. You scramble pack to the Explorer and grab your .44, making sure it's loaded in the process. You return to the catwalk and look around for the fail-safe valve. You think you can see it, but the flames are obscuring it too much to be sure.

rolled 49 = 49

>>14131189
Shoot for it.

>>14131189
Aiming for valve is hard.

We need to stand in doorway, shooting body of tank towards top of tank, and then ducking back around the doorway.

rolled 66 = 66

>>14131229
This.
Easier shot to make, too.

>>14131229

So you're shooting the area around the top of the tank. What are you expecting to happen?

>>14131286

I believe they're hoping to shoot a hole in the tank to relieve pressure.

>>14131286
The metal, softened by the heat, will get a hole in it, thus making an impromptu vent.
I advise we shoot at the valve first and if we miss try that.

just shoot the valve, if we miss we can shoot again.

>>14131286
Create an impromptu safety release, it'll punch a hole, letting out the pressure.

We'll need to get out of the way of the steam jet, and when the pressure has subsided, we can go back and put out the fire, or at least spray water on the bits of fire that aren't snuffed when the air in the room is evacuated by the steam.

If we stand in the room and shoot the valve, we'll be smothered and broiled by the superheated steam that will fill the room almost instantaneously, displacing the air.

>>14131350
Still, if we can hit the valve from safety, that's probably better still, because the valve is meant to fail in an emergency and probably diverts the steam in the safest direction.

>>14131286
.44 punches clean through unhardened steel. I use pressure tanks for targets, and anything much more powerful than .22 or 9mm will punch holes in it, and that's before the tank is pressurized (preventing deformation that will allow the steel to absorb the impact) or heated (making the steel weaker).

Well, ECW?

You fire the pistol, creating a hole in the metal of the tank. Steam screams out of the hole. Seams near the hole buckle and start spraying.

The hose nozzle stops spraying water and starts shooting out steam. The hose line immediately tries to straighten. Make an Athletics [Basic] check.

rolled 99 = 99

Oh dear.

rolled 55 = 55

>>14131493
Flee building. Get away from door.

>>14131508
Smoking!

rolled 34 = 34

>>14131493
>Make an Athletics [Basic] check.

Oh hell.

Yeah, with that athletics roll made, time to get the hell out.

>>14131508

Fuck. Yes.

You make a quick jump just as the line whips under you. You barely have time to regain your footing when you feel a yank on your collar. It pulls you back out of and away from the now-steaming room.

>>14131577
Follow the pull. Let's get the hell clear.

>>14131577
Get to safe distance. When the shriek of the steam ends, we start to fix the control equipment.

Call dispatch and have them send a welder out.

You get your footing and turn to see Emanuel. He meets your eye and lets go of your collar, starting to run for the exit. You rush after him.

You make it outside with Juan taking cover behind the Explorer.

The fire teams have arrived and are uncoiling hoses.

>>14131666
Catch our breath, then offer assistance to the crew.

>>14131666
Tell the fire fighters that the water holding vessel was on the verge of bursting, and we've only just now started to relieve the pressure, and it's probably still dangerous.

>>14131686

After that, we take Emanuel to one side.

We need to talk to him about those cut cables.

First this: >>14131706

Then this: >>14131713

And then this: >>14131686

You approach the fire crews and start to talk to them. But a roar fills your ears and the ground starts shaking. Fire and steam shoot out of door.

>>14131757

That's bad.


...did we make things worse somehow?

>>14131757
Instinctively hit the dirt.

>>14131786
If we did, that's dumb.

What we did should have relieved the pressure, steamed the fire out, and minimized the damage.

You throw yourself to the ground. Wind blows past you, gradually dying away. You look back at the door. The ground and the surrounding building material is blackened.

"What the hell just happened?"

>>14131850

What he said

The fire chief looks at the entrance.

"Hell, that ain't good." He signals to his crew and they move into the building. Hoses and extinguishers at the ready.

>>14131897
Alright, take Emanuel aside.
"Did you see how the wires were cut in the control room, and the barrel of gas? I think this place was sabotaged."

>>14131897

Did we tell him about the boilers, or did the blast knock us down before we could?

>>14131960

The blast cut you off.

>>14131965

Then we get back up and run after him yelling "Wait! The boilers may be ready to explode!

The chief shouts at the crew to wait and approaches you.

"You sure that that thing didn't just go off? It sure as hell sounded like it to me."

>>14132026
Explain to him what happened while we were in there.

>>14131983
They probably just did.

>>14132036
This but don't be specific about the means of our venting the tank.

>>14132059
The bullet hole in the tank will be fairly obvious.

>>14132078

Not if it exploded.

Also, do not mention any hints of sabotage.

>>14132078
Maybe maybe not.

If we had a proper blowout, instead of just another bout of sabotage, the bullet hole will really only be obvious in a forensic reconstruction.

However I doubt that's the case since the explosion had fire.

Regardless, it ain't gonna hurt anyone if they have to find out the precise method we used to vent the tank by asking us a few more questions.

>>14132141
If it wasn't a blowout, we're probably not going to look good.

I just found this quest and think it's rather awesome. Have we been through a complete outbreak like in the movie yet?

>>14132174
The compies have been out the first day and a saboteur has let the rex (subsequently caught) and the raptors out.

>>14132156
If it wasn't a blowout, it was a bomb.

Just so it's out there.

>>14132174

It's been a more gradual breakdown, though we've done a few things in past chapters to prevent it from getting way, way worse.

>>14132186

No, the Rex got out due to the tornado.

>>14132196
Great. Well, Emanuel and Juan can tell them
we didn't set it.

So what are we telling the fire chief?

>>14132277

Just summarizing what we saw in the boiler room, without mentioning that we shot one of the boilers.

>>14132277
When we got here there the fire had spread to the boiler room, and we had to vent it to prevent violent failure.

>>14132277
We're telling him that a fire at the base of the water storage tank turned that tank into a boiler, and that it was going to explode so we tried to depressurize it.

Judging by the fact that the building has a roof still, we were at least partially successful.

And we also tell him about the cut wires and drums of gasoline.

>>14132277
I don't know shit but I am on the edge of my seat. Somebody think of something quick!

Maybe somebody in the firecrew has a better knowledge of the systems in the plant and can come up with a plan when they see the damage. We should also tell him what we know. Fires on the walls, floors, and boiler room. Steam pipes blowing, boiler making noises too, but lets not mention that barrel.

>>14132311

Do we really want to tell them about the sabotage?

>>14132311
This, but call them "broken" wires instead of cut. And mention the gas in kind of a "no idea why that was there" way rather than a "someone is trying to blow everything up" way.

He needs all possible information as head of the recovery team, but at the same time we need to cover our ass.

"Well, something blew in there. And if something blew, the tank probably vented. Should be safe to move in. It's possible the wires got cut by fire or shrapnel, maybe even rodents. We'll take a look. " He whistles to his crew and heads inside the building.

>>14132337
I'm gonna say not until we confirm with Emanuel.

>>14132337
NO! trust no one

>>14132337

I say, depending on the damage dealt, they're going to find out anyways. We don't want to sound duplicitous by not mentioning it now, so I say we should tell them. We were doing our job, and are only reporting what we see. We don't have to SAY it was sabotage.. let them think what they will.

Okay, NOW we talk to Emanuel about the possibility of sabotage.

>>14132352

Right, now we go to talk to Emanuel, off to one side.

>>14132337
We don't need to be running around seeing sabotage everywhere and preaching it from the hilltops, but if we see something out of place, we need to tell someone, because otherwise it puts suspicion on us.

>>14132391

The thing is, we KNOW the Head of Security is in on the conspiracy, and he knows that someone in maintenance knows. He might even know our name. We don't want reports of sabotage getting back to him with our name on it.

The only authority figure we can trust is Muldoon. He's who needs to know, as soon as possible.

>>14132352
Talk with Emanuel about the cut wires and the barrel of gasoline now.

You take Emanuel to the side and speak with him about your suspicions.

He seems frightened.

"Couldn't it have just been fire, or rats? We used to have rat problems, maybe they came back."

>>14132482
"The wires were in the ceiling. That'd be some tall rats. And it doesn't explain the gasoline."

>>14132440

seconded

>>14132432
We also know he's killed someone to keep it quiet.

There's a point in every conspiracy where the safest thing you can do is blow it all wide open, so that the conspirator isn't able to silence all the people who know.

Sure, he got away (so far) with one murder.

What about 5, 10, or 15?

And I'd put even odds on Muldoon wasting his ass for even trying.

"possible, and I'd agree with you.....but what about the gas? We need to talk to Muldoon, I'll tell you all about it when we get to him."

>>14132482

"Maybe. Maybe not. You know of many rats that chew through cables that cleanly, all in a row?

Look, keep it under your hat. If it WAS sabotage, we don't know who did it. What if the person we report it to is the person who did it? Dispatch won't believe us without proof anyway.

Just keep your eyes open, and your wits about you. I hope I'm wrong. I really do."

>>14132530
At the very least, we've now saved Emanuel's life and he's helped save ours. even if we don't get along there's definitely gonna be some respect there.

>>14132482
"Those were some pretty clean cuts on those wires. And that doesn't explain where there was a barrel of gasoline in the computer room.
"Look, that explosion probably destroyed all the evidence already. But by now you've got realize that someone is out to get this park shutdown, and is willing to do whatever it takes."

>>14132490
>>14132532
>>14132534

Combine these.

We don't want him blabbing to everyone, or else he's gonna get himself killed, but an extra pair of eyes could help.

>>14132556
Sounds good.

He gives you a stiff nod in reply.

"*static* Porter, what's the status on the fire?"

>>14132641
"Dispatch, the fire teams are on site. We're waiting for them to give the all clear before we assess the damage."

>>14132641
"Fire team's here, taking care of it. There was an electrical fire, it appears to have caused some kind of explosion."

>>14132641

"Fire fighting teams are here. Me and my team put out the fire in the control room and flipped the breaker, but one of the water tanks might have boiled and had a blowout. Not sure, the firefighters will be able to tell you more then I can about that, they're looking into it now. It's unclear how much damage has been caused overall, and we probably won't know for sure til all the fires are out."

rolled 77 = 77

Rolling for Bullshitting

"Dispatch, Fire Team did get here, but the Rex just showed up. Looks like he got into the Burrito Fields, because he is just shitting his ass out all over the place.

Good News: The massive volume of Rex shit has put out the fire.

Bad News: The massive volume of Rex shit stinks like my week-old gym socks."

>Banchereau Agrob

Behold the new gods of /tg/!

>>14132700
Disregard this fag, ECW.

>>14132700

Piss off.

"*static* The only thing I want to hear is that the facility can be put into immediate operation. That last bout of power outages drained our emergency generators. Get to work."

>>14132736
"Let you know as soon as we're clear to get to work."

>>14132736

"You want this place up and running fast, you better send out any other mechanics you got laying around because right now it's me and two guys, one of whom doesn't speak any goddamn English.

This place is ON FIRE. If it's as important as you say, then I need all available resources down here right fucking now!"

>>14132736
We'll let you know.

Lets get to the tank room and assess the damage.

>>14132788
We're not gonna antagonize dispatch.
"The place is on fire, and only one of my men speaks English. If this place is so important then we should be putting anyone available on it."

>>14132736
No backups? Shit. We need to get to work now, and at least get a little power into the system.

>>14132736
Don't bother to respond, and go into the building to assess the damage. See what we can do to bring the turbines back online.

>>14132848
Yeah, might as well see what we can do.

>>14132788
Don't antagonize Dispatch right now; we need to stay under the radar, remember? Besides, he has a point; if the emergency power is all drained, we NEED to get this fixed, and bitching about it won't help.
Once we assess the damage, we can radio in to Dispatch that we need more maintenance crews.

You enter the building. The wall separating the control room from the tank room seems to be gone, and pieces of metal and electronics litter the floor. You can see concrete when you look up.

Going into the tank room, you see many big holes in the tank, but it doesn't look like it burst. Not completely anyway. The fire crew attached a rope to the railing. Make an Athletics [Basic] check to go down.

>>14132901
Climbing down as carefully as possible, one at a time.

>>14132926
Crap.

rolled 5 = 5

>>14132901

Rolling Athletics Check

Going down one at a time, the second person waits for the first to be on the ground, then the third person waits for the second person to be on the ground.

Keep a watchful eye/ear out for straining/groaning of the metal, we don't want anything collapsing on us out of nowhere.

>>14132971

Crap, sorry rolled a d10

here's the real roll

rolled 58 = 58

Shit, I hope we aren't about to take a spill.

>>14132976

Well....shit. Looks like we may just fall on our asses unless someone can get a better roll in.

Here's praying we don't break something

Should've trained Athletics.

Luckily, it's not that hard to climb down a rope. You end up falling on your ass from about 6 ft. up. It stings like hell, but you aren't injured.

>>14133063
Stretch and walk it off while the other two make it down and continue heading in.

The floor circles the tank, and you can see the fail-safe valve on the piping leading from under the tank. Pieces of red, curved metal litter the floor. Some of them are pretty big. There are two doorways. One of them has no door and is completely charred, the other is in better condition with a hallway leading off. You can hear machinery from the hallway, probably leads to the turbines.

>>14133116
Go to the turbines, we need to check if they're damaged, and if they're still producing power.

I'm tired, so I'm cutting it for the night folks. Not sure when I'll be on tomorrow, so keep a look out.

>>14133176
Alright, good work, bro. Thread's already archived.
