Twine story 2 v0.15

You open up your eyes and sit up. You look around to see where you are. You don't know where this is, or how you got here, or...who you are for that matter. All you do know is that this laboratory is abandoned, and that you need to get out of here and find some answers. (click: "look around")[You see that you are in an old and abandoned laboratory. The machines seem to have been shut down for a long time, and may not even be operational. This entire room looks completely overgrown, theres vines and moss growing through the walls and floor. There is a table surrounded by all sorts of machines, the same table from which you woke up from, what happened to you? There is a small amount of light coming from an old computer from behind you. There is a long list of code that you can't understand, but the only thing that you can understand is at the bottom which says, "Process Complete." What does that mean?] There's a [[door|Observe door]] ahead of you that you can [[go through|Hallway D7]].

You look at the door and you can see that something had...melted its way through? What doesn't make even more sense is that it looks like what ever made that hole //came// into this room... but you're the only one in here...so what happened? [[Back|Start]]

(set: $timesvisitedtoD7 to it +1) (If: $timesvisitedtoD7 is 1)[You walk through the door and see that you are in a hallway. You see something on the wall covered in moss. You clear it up and you see that it says "D7", that doesn't help you figure out anything.] (If: $timesvisitedtoD7 >1)[Hallway D7 The hallway still looks the same, with a small amount of light coming from the room that you originall woke up from.] You can go to [[the left|Hallway D8]]. You can go to [[the right|Hallway D6]]. You could return to the first room that you came from, but you feel like it wouldn't help you out at all since you already looked in there.

You see the symbol on the wall that says D8 You continue walking down the abandoned hallway. You notice that there is some equipment on the floor that has been smashed by an abnormally large footprint. You can [[go to the left|Hallway D9]] You can [[go to the right|Hallway D7]]

As you walk down this hallway, it becomes very dark, however you have no problem seeing in the dark, fortunately for you this allows you to see the ledge that you almost just walked straight off of. It looks like the floor collapsed, there's no way around it, and the other side is to far away to jump to. You then look down the hole. You don't know how far down it goes but it looks far enough that the fall will definetly kill you. (if: $grapplinghook is true) [[[Use the Grappling Hook to shoot across.|Swinging across]]] (else:)[You have no choice but to [[turn back|Hallway D7]]]

You walk to the end of the hallway. Even though it's completely dark here, you have no problem seeing. You can then see that the cieling has collapsed at the end of "D9", so you can't continue since the path is blocked. However, you notice that there is a big metal door that looks like it's been busted in. Fortunately for you there is a small enough crack that you can [[slip through|Room D9-01]]. You can return to the [[right|Hallway D8]]

You manage to slip into the room and you find...a burnt carcass of some type of humanoid creature. It looks like its been there for a while. You see parts of the skeleton, especially the skull, staring off at soemthing...but you also notice burnt and destroyed machine parts that look like they intertwine with the skeleton...almost as if it was part of the person or thing...like a cyborg? It doesn't make any sense to you...but then you notice something that stands out in the room. (click: "stands out")[You see a shiny piece of metal burried in debris. You go through it and mannage to pull out what looks like a grappling hook! It seems like it could attach to something, but you don't know what, however it seems like it could still be functional without it. Its quite fortunate that it's about the size of your hand. (Obtained Grappling Hook!) (set: $grapplinghook to true)] (click: "Obtained Grappling Hook!")[You don't know where that little fanfare came from, but you feel happy and acomplished that you found something.] You can return to [[the hallway|Hallway D9]].

You point the grappling hook at the ceiling and press the button on the opposite side of the grappling hook. (click:"button")[You don't know how you know how to operate this contraption...you just know...creepy.] The hook part fires out, followed by a neon purple line of light. It attaches to the ceiling. You put both of your hands onto the grappling device and hold on tight. You then proceed to step onto the nothingness below you, which then allows you to swing to the other side. As your body swings over the other end of the floor, you fall down back first. You stand up to see that the cieling collapsed under your weight, fortunately the grappling hook had retracted back to you, otherwise you might have been pulled under... [[Continue on|Hallway D5]]

You look down the hallway, you see many sealed doors made up of a type of tough metal, so you can't open them. They all have different labels on them, like "D5-01, D5-02, D5-03," ect. You can only assume that this hallway is labled as D5. There's no way back Only way is to go [[forward|Hallway D4]]

As you turn down the hallway, you notice a beam of light at the end of the room! //It must be a way out!// You think to yourself. However it looks like this room is falling apart more than the others. [[In your excitement, you run down the hallway as fast as you can|Falling]] [[You walk slowly, afraid of falling like you almost did before|Room D4-10]]

As you are running towards the end of the hallway, you feel the floor giveway to your force, and the floor collapses below you. You fall down about 15 feet and land on your stomache hard on the floor. You stand up and brush off the dust on you, and try to figure out where you've landed. (set: $injurycount to 1)(set: $timesvisitedE3S to 1) [[Continue|Hallway E4]]

You walk slowly and carefully towards the end of the hallway, keeping your feet away from the parts that you feel could give way. You make it to the end safely and enter the room with the light. However as you walk in, you realise that the light is not coming from outside, but from a monitor on the desk. You see that there is another haallway at the other end of the room with a sign that has a symbol in the shape of a staircase. [[You can go to the next room|Room D3-S]] [[Or you could also look and see whats on the monitor|Video1]]

You walk into this room and see that there is a stair case, one going down, and one going up...or...at least there used to be one going up. It looks as if the staircase had...dissapeared...or something. There's a double door at the end of this room that say's D3, but its covered in debris from the other side, you can tell by looking through the windows. With no other option, [[The only way is down|Room E3-S]]

You walk over to see whats on the monitor. There seems to be only one file on here, so you open it up. It says: ----------------------------------- Current status of all know CYB2's: --U bots 1-100--Destroyed --U bots 101-200--Destroyed --U bots 201-300--Destroyed --Error, information not found --U bots 601-700--Destroyed --U bots 701-707--Inactive --U bot 708--Reactivated (click: "Reactivated")[You don't know what that means, but it can't be good.] --V-R--Unknown Error, information not found --V-E--Destroyed --V-B--Destroyed --V-A--In Repair Warning:This CPU has been damaged, other information will be sent to other active CPU's ----------------------------------- If you want to find out whats going on here, then you should definetely go find those other monitors, but for now, [[let's continue on|Room D3-S]]. (set: $video1 to true)

(set: $timesvisitedE3S to it +1)(if: $timesvisitedE3S is 1)[As you're heading down the stairs, you can just barely see that there is a large gap in between the stairs. It looks like you could just barely make it if you jumped. With nothing to grapple on, and hoping that you don't descover if there's a Z level or not, you jump to the other side. You manage to make it quite easily, and continue down the stairs. You get to a sign that says "E-Level" with double doors underneath it. You look at the staircase continuing down and see that it too has fallen off. [[Go into E-Level|Hallway E3]]] (else:)[You walk into the stairwell, you look up and you see that the staircase is broken, and there is nothing to grapple upon, so no going up. You look down and see that the staircase going down has broken off and fallen down, so no going down either. [[Only way to go is back|Hallway E3]]]

(if: $mapchip is true)[Hallway E3 You walk into a hallway, you can see that the walls are decaying, and there is moss covering the floor. You can go to [[Room E3-S]] or [[Hallway E4]].] (else:)[You walk into a hallway, you can see that the walls are decaying, and there is moss covering the floor. You see several rooms with missing doors that you could [[explore|Room E3-03]]. Or you could go [[back|Room E3-S]] or go [[forward|Hallway E4]]]

(if: $mapchip is true)[Hallway E4 You are standing in a hallway that looks like it's falling apart. Several doors lie face down in the ground, whatever it was that held them up had rusted and fallen apart. You look in and see that there is nothing in any of the rooms. You can go to[[Hallway E5]] or back to [[Hallway E3]]] (else:)[You are standing in a hallway that looks like it's falling apart. Several doors lie face down in the ground, whatever it was that held them up had rusted and fallen apart. You look in and see that there is nothing in any of the rooms. You can go [[forward|Hallway E5]] or [[back|Hallway E3]].]

(If: $mapchip is true)[Hallway E5 As you walk down the hallway you see that there are two ways to go. Looking at the map, you see that they can both get you to the stairwell, but the left path is faster, what will you do? Go to the left, [[Hallway E6 South]], or go to the right, [[Hallway E6 North]]] (else:)[As you walk down the hallway you see that there are two ways to go. You can't tell where either way will lead. You can go to the [[left|Hallway E6 South]], or go to the [[right|Hallway E6 North]], or go [[back|Hallway E4]]]

You look around in this room and see that there is nothing in here, however you notice a small chip on the floor. You pick it up and brush the dust off of it. You can see that there is a small word on it that says "Map". Just then their is a bright flash of light and you fall down to the ground. As you get up you realise that the "map chip" is missing, but suddenly you are able to tell exactly where you are in the building. As you brush some dirt off of your arm, a bright 3-D neon red map appears, as if it was coming from your arm. You don't know how this happened, or why, but you can see that there is another stairwell at the other end of the building. (You've obtained the Map Chip!). (set: $mapchip to true) Return to [[Hallway E3]].

You hide behind the corner and listen to what they say. "Listen Mar, we need to get out of here." The first voice said. "No way!" The second voice responded harshly. "We were given a mission, and we need to complete it!" "We found what we were looking for and it didn't //want// to be found, so let's just get out of here while we're still alive!" The first voice complained. "We didn't find what we were looking for, that was just an out of date U-Bot." The second voice responded angerly. "HOW CAN YOU TELL!?!?" The first voice yelled. "I...I just know ok!" The second voice snapped at the first. "Yeah well...hey, WHAT'S THAT!" The first voice yelled. uh-oh, looks like they found you. Guess you were too close to the corner. They come around the corner and flash their lights on you. "Who're you and what were you doing hiding and spying on us?!" The first voice yelled at you. "Come on...ANSWER ME!" "Rick come down!" The one called Mar responded to the one called Rick. "Can't you see that he's freaked out?" "How do you know he isn't doing that on purpose Marlo?" Rick asked the one apparently called Marlo. "Oh Rick, why don't you grow a pair and stop being such a wuss." Marlo snapped at Rick. Marlo walks over to you gives you his hand. "My name is Marlo, and the girl over here is Rick." He says to you. You hear Rick give off a grunt but Marlo ignores it. "What's your name?" . He asks you. "I...I can't remember." You say, shocked at the fact that you can speak so clearly all of a sudden. "I...I can't really remember anything." "Oh great, he has amnesia." Rick says angerly. "It's fine Rick," Marlo says to him and then turns to you, "We'll just call you V for now, is that good?" He asks you. You nod. "Here, why don't you come with us and we'll help you get out of here." Marlo says to you, putting a finger up to Rick's mouth as he tries to complain. "There's a stairwell this way, we're trying to get out through here. Come on." Marlo says to you, giving you and Rick a wave towards where he was going. You follow him, but Rick gives you a questionable stair before moving on. [[Continue on|Hallway E2]] (set:$Marlolevel to 10) (set:$Ricklevel to 3)

You walk around the corner to where the to people are...and immediately raise you arms up when you realize that they have guns. "Who are you!" The first voice yells at you. You try to respond...but realize that as hard as you try you can't seem to speak either. "Oh calm down Ricky, can't you see that he's in shock!" The second voice says as he lowers the other person's gun. He then begins to walk toward you. "You ok?" He asks? You nod your head. "How'd you get hear?" He asks. You attempt to speak again and this time it works! "I...I don't know." You tell them. "How do you not know how you got here?" The first voice asked. "I...I think I have amnesia." You answer. "You //think//?" He responds. "Oh give him a break Rick." The second voice said. "Listen, we'll help you get your memory back and get out of here." "WHAT!" The one called Rick yelled. "You just can't..." "Trust me on this Rick." The second voice responded. "But..." "Trust me." "Fine." Rick said frustratingly, and then turned away from you. The second person then pulls there hand out at you. "I'm Marlo, and Mr. Happy over there is Rick." Marlo said. You hear Rick grumble to himself quietly. Ignoring him, Marlo asks, "Do you remember your name?" You shake your head. "Well thats fine, we can just call you V for now." Marlo responds. "I'm fine with that." You answer.

Seconds later, you come face to face with the machine. It's completely made of metal and has treads like a tank. It Has a large humannoid body that is connected to the treads. It has two metal arms, one with a large spike at the end, the other with a large arm canon. You see it has a power pack on its back, it must be whats powering it. You look at its head and see that its a round metal head with two red glowing eyes and a speaker, which you guess is where it talks. You see that on it's side it says 'U-708'. (if:$video1 is true)[Now you know what happened to that unit, the real question now is, who activated it...and are you going to die.] "SCANNING." You hear the bot say in a loud deep, metalic voice. You then see a red glow come from it's eyes as it scans you. "ERROR, CODEX MALFUNCTION, CANNOT REFER SCANS TO DATABASE." So not even he knows who you are. "IF DATABASE CANNOT WORK, THEN THIS MACHINE MUST MARK THIS TARGET AS A THREAT, AND //NEUTRALIZE//!!!!!" Well, that's bad. You see it's charging it's arm canon, what do you do? [[Stand still]], [[attempt to dodge the blast]], or [[run at the bot]].

You stand there and watch the bot charge up its arm canon. You can tell its ready when you see a light blue hue coming from the canon, then the lazer comes at you. It's fired at an alarmingly fast rate, fortunately you dodge it at the last second. You turn and see that the lazer destroyed the other end of the hallway. You turn just in time to see the bot come charging at you with the spike pointed towards you. What do you do? [[Dodge it again at the last second]], or [[Jump onto it]].

You jump to the other side of the hall as the lazer zips by you. You see the bot is charging at you with the spike pointing towards you. You jump out of the way again and the bot smashes into the wall behind where you just were. It turns around and begins firing smaller blasts from its arm canon as it moves towards you. What do you do now? [[Run down the other hallway]], or [[duck into the room opened by the bot]].

You run at the bot as its charging its arm canon. It then stops charging and stabs at you with its spike. You jump onto the robot but it manages to slice your arm. (set: $injurycount to it +1) The robot begins to charge towards a wall to crush you. [[Jump to the side]]. [[Jump over it]].

You jump out of the way at the last second, the bot just barely missing you. However, as you look at the trail that the bot left, you notice something that resembles mines...no wait, they are mines. They explode right infront of you, however just seconds before the explosion collides with you, you hear a voice. "THREAT CONDITIONS EXCEED LIMITS...ACTIVATE DEFENCES." Suddenly, there's a flash of light right before the explosion hits you. A few seconds later you open your eyes and look around. You're completely unharmed, however you notice you're now wearing red battle armor, interesting. You turn around and see that the bot is in the room opened up by its lazer blast, and it's having trouble turning around. You look around and find that you dropped your grappling hook. You go to pick it up. As you're holding it, your hand somehow moves into your armored arm! It is then replaced by your grappling hook, you now have a grappling hook arm. You move to the bot and aim your grappling hook at its power pack. It fires when you point it at the bot without having to push the button. A neon red line is fired following after the hook, and it attaches to the bot. "ERROR, ERROR" You hear the bot proclaim. You then begin to pull. "ERROR, CANNNOT COMPUTE! CANNOT-CANNO-COM-...CAnno..." You pull so hard that the power pack comes flying off. It lands behind you, and you hear the bot shutting down. (set:$UBotDestroyed to true) [[Continue|U-Bot defeated 2]]

You jump onto it and you both get chraged into the hole that the lazer made. The bot stops in the room and throws you off of its self by rappidly spinning its upper body. You get thrown into the corner of the room and land on your back. The bot begins to move towards you, preparing to stab you with its spike arm. You're cornered, you have no way to escape or to defend yourself. You regret having ran into this bot, you wish that you could've found out why you were here before you died, you wish you could've won this fight you wish... Suddenly you hear a voice. "THREAT CONDITIONS EXCEED LIMITS...ACTIVATE DEFENCES." There's a bright flash of light, and suddenly you are wearing a red suit of battle armor. You have no time to think as the bot tries to stab at you. You quickly throw a punch at the torso of the bot, and your arm goes right through. Guess you're much stronger with this armor. You hear a voice come from the bot: "ERROR-bzzt-CANNOT COMPUTE...CANNOT-bzzt-CANNOT COMP-bzzt". You hear a sound that sounds like something is charging up, you look at the canon and see that it's not doing anything, so it can't be that. The noise gets louder. You then look at the hole you made in the bot and realize that its glowwing yellow, and it dawns on you what's about to happen. "ERROR, COMPLETE SYSTEM FAILURE! CANNOT-CANNO-CANN..." Oh sh- The bot explodes, which sends you hurtling through the wall behind you. [[Continue|U-bot defeated 1]]

You run down the other hallway, the floor is getting blasted right behind you. You turn the cornor and see that the hallway goes down a little bit further. You run down there and realize that it's a dead end. You hear the firing stop, you can only guess that the bot is heading your way. You take a closer at the dead end. You realize that the room above has fallen into the hallway, blocking the path, the contents spilling out into the hallway. You look at the contents, it's all old electrical and machinery equipment, with alot of tanks connected to them...oxygen tanks...oh. You turn around to meet the red eyes of the U bot. It charges at you, but you hold your place. It's getting closer, and a little bit faster too, you run at it. When your just feet away from it, you jump to the side at the last second. You hear the robot turn and its treads skreeting to try and turn...but its too late. You try to run as fast as you can down the hallway. The bot was going too fast, it slides and colides hard into the debris. The collision with all of that stuff causes a big explosion. You can't avoid it. Seconds before the explosion hits you, you hear a voice in your head. "THREAT CONDITIONS EXCEED LIMITS...ACTIVATE DEFENCES." A bright flash of light appears. When its gone you see that you are covered in red battle armor. Perfect timing just as you get hit by the explosion. (set:$UBotDestroyed to true) [[Continue|U-bot defeated 1]]

You run at the bot and duck to its side as you quickly slip by into the room behind it. However, you got to close to the bot and it managed to blast your ankle. Fortunately it wasn't that bad and you continue into the room. (set:$injurycount to it +1) The bot is struggling to turn around into the room, which gives you some time to figure out a plan. You see that the room above has collapsed into this one. You look up and see that there is a thick cable hanging down from the room above. You begin climbing. As you're climbing up the cable you begin to feel like something is pulling you back down. You look down and see the bot pulling on the cable. Where the spike once was on its arm, there is now a hand, which is being used to pull you back down to the ground. You look up and see that the cable is just barely holding on to whatever is holding it up, at this rate, the cable will fall. You see that you are nearing the top, so you begin climbing faster. You're almost there when you hear a loud //SNAP//! You quickly jump to the ledge as the cable falls past you. You think that you got away when suddenly you feel a tug on your leg. You look down and see that the cable had miraculously caught onto your leg (why does this always happen?). You feel even more tugging as the bot pulls even more on the cable. You are holding onto the cable with just your fingers at this point, and you feel like your arms are going to get pulled off if you hold on any longer. You look down again. You see that you will definitely die if you fall at this hieght. You are about to lose your grip when you suddenly hear a voice. "THREAT CONDITIONS EXCEED LIMITS...ACTIVATE DEFENCES." You see a bright flash of light. When it goes away, you feel like the tugging has calmed down, its not so hard now. You begin to pull yourself up. You still feel the tugging of the cable on your foot, but its not enough to stop you and your new found strength. You manage to climb up completely and untangle the cable from your foot. You crawl yourself away from the hole in the ground, and towards the nearest wall, completely exhausted. [[Continue|U-bot defeated 3]]

You jump off of the bot to the side, but that doesn't really work in you're favor as it was watching your every move. As you jump off of it, it slashes at you with it's spiked arm, and slashes you right in the chest. You fall down on the ground behind the bot as it turns around to face you. You hear a voice, but its not the U-Bot. "ERROR...UNIT TO DAMAGED TO TRANSFORM...ERROR...SENDING DISTRESS SIGNAL...ERROR...ERROR...ERror-" The voice stops and you feel you conscience slipping away. You look up and see the bot hovering over you, its spike arm pointing towards you. Suddenly [[everything goes black|Bad ending]].

You jump over it as it slams into the wall. You land hard on your back however, sinse you hurried to get off of it. You struggle to get back up but you manage to look and see that the bot is struggling to get out of the hole it has made. Now's your chance! But you can't move...You feel like this is really the end when you hear a voice, "THREAT CONDITIONS EXCEED LIMITS...ACTIVATE DEFENCES." There's a bright flash of light, and suddenly, you can move again! You look at yourself and see that you are wearing a red suit of battle armor, but there's no time to admire yourself, you're losing your openning. You look around and see that you dropped your grappling hook, and you go to pick it up. As you're holding it, your hand somehow moves into your armored arm! It is then replaced by your grappling hook, you now have a grappling hook arm. You move to the bot and aim your grappling hook at its power pack. It fires when you point it at the bot without having to push the button. A neon red line is fired following after the hook, and it attaches to the bot. "ERROR, ERROR" You hear the bot proclaim. You then begin to pull. "ERROR, CANNNOT COMPUTE! CANNOT-CANNO-COM-...CAnno..." You pull so hard that the power pack comes flying off. It lands behind you, and you hear the bot shutting down.

You push off the rubble on you, and pull yourself up. You look at yourself, besides being covered in dust, you're perfectly unharmed, all thanks to this mysterious armor that you have. You look around and see that you got launched through at least 5 walls. Ouch. You look down your new hallway and manage to see that the bot is completely destroyed, well at least you no longer have to deal with it... You look around and see that it's head has landed really close to you...somehow. You pick it up and a panel falls off from the back. You look in and you see that there are a bunch of wires and ports, but most of them are all burned out or ripped apart. You see that there are two things that look intact. You look at one which is a lever labeled "ARM CANON RELEASE". You look over at the once U-Bot. Well that's useless now. The other thing is a chip. You pull it out and toss the head away. (if:$mapchip is true)[It looks just like the map chip, but it's labled "scan chip".] (else:)[You look at it and see that it's labeled "scan chip".] As you're holding it, a bright flash of light appears and suddenly the chip disappears. Suddenly a visor drops down infront of you from your helmet (which you didn't even realize that you were wearing). A red lazer shoots out from the side of your helm and moves over the debris...scanning it. You now have a scan visor...neat. (set:$scanvisor to true) (set:$UBotDestroyed to true) (set:$armorstatuson to true) [[Continue|Hallway E9]]

You walk over to the now shutdown U-bot. You see that it has fallen over on its face side. You look at the back of its head and see that there is a panel that is locked. You can find a key, or just tear it off. (click:"tear it off")[You do the obvious thing and tear off the panel with your now super strength. You look inside, its only just wires and ports. However you notice something that catches your eye. It's a chip of some sorts. You pull it out. (if:$mapchip is true)[It looks just like the map chip.] You see that it says "Scan visor" on it. Another flash of light happens and you notice that the chip is now gone. Suddenly aa visor pops down from your helmet (which you didn't even realise that you were wearing after you got your armor) and a red light runs over the U-bot. Words pop up on your visor, they say: U-Bot 708: Sent into repair after being destroyed. Reactivated 1 hour ago. Currently out of power. In need of repairs. Do you wish to learn more? "No." You say to it, not wishing to dive into anymore of your unknown powers. Wait...1 hour ago? You look back into the U-bot's head and you notice a little lever labeled "Arm Cannon Release". You pull it and hear something get released and fall to the ground. You look over to see that the U-Bot's arm cannon has indeed fallen off. You walk over to it and pick it up. It's way to big for you, however you notice that there's a hole in the back of the canon, and there is text above it that says "Data". It's just the right size for your arm. You stick your arm into it and a flash of bright light comes from it. You pull your arm out and see that its now a canon. You aim it down the hall and a bright yellow blast gets fired out of it, blowing up the wall...neat. [[Continue|Hallway E9]] (set:$armcanon to true) (set:$scanvisor to true)(set:$UBotDestroyed to true)(set:$armorstatuson to true)]

You hear the cable hit the ground, and then hear the bot say, "TARGET ESCAPED, SEARCHING FOR ROUTE TO TARGET'S LAST KNOWN LOCATION." You hear it move out of the room below, and you feel like its no longer a threat to you at the moment, well at least you don't have to deal with it now. You look down at your arms and figure out where you got that strength from. You see that you are now wearing a red suit of battle armor, it covers your entire body, except for your neck. You realize that you're wearing a helmet as well, with a retractible visor. The visor holds the status of everything on the suit, except everything is labled OFFLINE, so that doesn't help you. You get up after resting for a bit and look around. You see that you are on the C level. Wow, you climbed up two floors, good for you. You play around with the settings on your suit. There is a screen on your arm(if:$mapchip is true)[, the same place where your map appears,](else:)[,] that is connected to your suit and acts as the place to activate and deactivate systems manually. Apparently, there is a manual for the suit on here...well thats handy. It seems that if you stand up and put your legs together, and keep your arms to your side for about five seconds, the suit goes away...it doesn't say where to though... And if you do the same thing but swing your arms out to your sides, the suit will be activated manually. You try it once and see that it works. You think about whether or not if you should wear the armor as you move on. It could be useful, but it could also make you a bigger target to whatever else is in here. |Menu>[ (link:"Wear the suit.")[(replace: ?Menu)[You activate the suit. There is a bright flash of light, and you are now wearing the suit.

You have died in this facility. This place has managed to prevent you from escaping, and you never managed to discover the true mysteries of this place, and why you were here, and you never will. You have lost, and there is only one option for you now... TRY AGAIN

(if:$mapchip is true)[Hallway E9 You look at your map and see that you are close to the stairwell, thats convienent.] You look and see that there is only one way to go at this point. [[Hallway E10]] However you also notice that there is a room off to the side. Optionally, you could go [[investigate|Room E9-10]] it.

(if:$mapchip is true)[Hallway E10 You walk into the hallway and you see that there is double doors at the end of the hallway, so you can only assume that that is where the stairwell is.

You walk in and you see another monitor. This time however, there is only a video on here. You click the play button. You see a man standing infront of a podeum infront of a crowd of people. He looks like he's atleast seven feet tall, very muscular and handsome...oddly enough, he seems like he's...perfect, in everyway. He's also wearing armor simmilar to yours, except it's gold instead of red like yours. You look at his face and, for whatever reason, he looks...familiar, like you knew him. He begins to speak. "My fellow citizens! Listen to what I have to say! These recent terrorist attacks are not a thing to be taken lightly. Sure we are at war, but these //terrorists// have nothing to do with it. These //terrorists// are in fact rebel agents from the same program that I am from!" You hear the crowd gasp and awe in shock. "And where is our, so-called Goverment at? Too busy sending soldiers, not like me, into the war that we shouldn't even be in! Our Government has allowed these people to rebel, and they are ignoring the problem!" Now you hear the crowd cheer angerly. "That is why people, I am asking you, to sign the R protocal, and allow me to take control of our forces, and take care of the REAL problems that are //plaguing// this country!" You hear the crowd cheer with joy, and some people in suits begin handing out papers that people are all trying to sign. "Help me my fellow citizens! Help me RID THIS WORLD OF THESE //TERRORISTS//! Help me DESTROY the so-called, X-Force!" He speaks so surely and calmly, like he is in control of everything. You hear the cheering grow louder. He raises his arms up, as in to encourage the cheering, which works as it grows louder. He begins to walk away, and then the video ends. You have no idea what he was talking about, but you can't help but feel like you should agree with him...yet...you feel like something deep inside of you is telling you not to. (if:$video1 is true)[You notice something on the freezed last frame of the video. You look closer and see someone walking next to the man in gold. You look even closer...and then it hits you. The man in the red armor looking like he is gaurding the man in gold...is you. No wonder you felt like you agreed with him...because you actually did. There is nothing left on the monitor but the video, so you decide to leave...pondering what you've found.
