[b]Part I: Welcome to TalonCo.[/b]
The Party's ships arrive at the station, having met up earlier through radio, and accompanying each other to the designated area— after all, the suspicious nature of the measure calls for an extra hand. Four extra hands certainly didn't hurt.
You exit Hyper-Space and are met by the sight of a large, grey rock— obviously a moon. What's odd about this moon is that it's encircled by a thick, washer-like ring, which becomes thicker in height the closer to the center it gets. Along the outer edge, you witness several large rectangular plates— most of them are broken, and others seem to be absent, as if torn off. Only a single one seems to be functional as it continues to rotate its path along the edge.
[b]Objective: Radio into the station and request access.[/b]
[b][i]All participating members, please check in. Absent members may only check in late up to Part II.[/i][/b]

[b]He turns and pulls the handle.[/b]
-
A canister, attached to the handle, rises up from the desk. It's about the size of a very tall fire extinguisher, and has the words [b]HalluciGen Projection Gas[/b] written on the sides. Suddenly, a holo-screen is projected from the canister, and a touch pad keyboard appears on the table. The projection has a single file stored on it, labeled [READ ME].
-
[b]He accesses the file.[/b]
-
Two lines of text. [b]Tool cart. Third drawer from the top.[/b]
-
[b]He moves to the tool cart, and pauses for a moment thinking.[/b] *mumbles* "... Ah what the hell..." [b]He opens the third drawer.[/b]
-
It contains a cassette-sized cartridge with a USB port in the side, and a long wire with a USB plug attached to each side.
-
[b]He looks for some sort of terminal with a USB input to hook up the device.[/b] "Seriously, who had time to set up this goose chase?"
-
The desk has a similar plug for the other end.
-
[b]I plug it in, waiting for it to do something.[/b] "[i]Really hope this has answers...[/i]" [b]I think to myself.[/b]
-
There's an audio file, labeled "Stash."

There's a faint crackling noise at the beginning, then there's the sound of someone clearing their throat. A man speaks. His voice is shaky. "Hello. If you're hearing this... I'm contemplating ending my life." Heavy breathing. Ten seconds. "It's been two years since the outbreak. Two years since the BioScience Division fûcked up. Dropped a can of something they dug up on Europa. Got everywhere. Multiplied." More heavy breathing. A little crying. Doesn't last long. "Took families... My family. Juliette. God, I miss them." He sighs. His voice steels after that. "I'm leaving some stuff behind. Ammo, guns, notes on how to kill these things... These... Monsters. The Worm. How to get to the Reactor. How to blow it to hell. And, if you can get it off my corpse, a military hazmat suit. Big prize." He pauses. Some shuffling. "That tool cart behind you? It's rigged. Powder explosives. Three drawers, that's all I left clean. You opened the first one. I left pieces of paper with the locations of the other clean drawers in the other cubicles. Each drawer has a tape. Each tape has a piece of the code on it. One of them has the keycard you'll need to get in once the keypad unlocks it." Some chuckling. "Happy hunting. The first digit is three." The tape ends there.

"...what?" [b]He stands, somewhat startled and a bit confused, looking for more tool carts.[/b]
-
It's the only cart. He was probably talking about multiple drawers on the same cart.
-
Edited by Murph Tha Smurf: 1/3/2016 7:04:11 AM[b]He counts the total number of drawers on the cart.[/b]
-
Eighteen in total.
-
"...well shit." [b]He looks it over thoroughly for any clues.[/b]
-
There's nothing, though an extra bomb is strapped to the underside.
-
Edited by Murph Tha Smurf: 1/3/2016 4:52:06 PM[b]He attempts to run scans with his upgraded optics, looking for wires and other things that could rule a few drawers out.[/b]
-
The wires are run through the sides of the case. The visions are too blurry to make out anything concrete; it must be lead lined.
-
[b]He gives a stumped look and debates opening them all from a distance, but decides against it as the papers would be destroyed.[/b] "What am I missing here...?"

*you see Silver walking inside the room. Upon seeing you, he deactivated his energy sword "Joshua, you won't believe what is happening here. It seems like there is a extremely dangerous contagion on this base. We might want to leave as quickly as possible."-Silver
