Cyberpunk Session 23

Artist's impression of what the last room looks like. The artist did complain that the description given by Tremen wasn't terribly helpful!

Immediately following on from the previous session, Spooky, Nameraka and Shadow feel a warm sensation in their wounds as they are attended to by the three figures around them. They can see their wounds healing before their eyes but also see, once the healing is complete, that the figures now look wan and drained as they retreat back behind the figure of Kitsune.

After Tremen finishes his explanation¹ the Kitsune figure apologises but says that she needs us to head back downstairs through the trap door and complete the exploration.

As we head back down we pass the figure who had earlier gone down through the trap door - he (and another figure) will provide backup if we need it. They are wearing monk robes and, as far as we can tell, no other armour.

We continue exploring quickly discovering that the two corridors we explored earlier join up again on the east/west corridor where Spooky, Nameraka and Shadow encountered the fairy. Luckily there's no sign of it. However there's also only a blood pool where Shadow had shot a figure in red robes. The blood pool showed that it had pooled around a body (there is an outline of the body) but the blood had then flowed back towards the body². We also note that the previously closed barred doors are all now open and (after Tharbin checks for it) the loss of comms with the surface is still present.

Moving the east end of that east/west corridor reveals that it ends with a rubble-strewn blockage but that there is a side corridor heading north. Just inside that side corridor Wakiya can see a door to the left from which fluorescent light can be seen spilling.

As we cautiously explore that corridor Nameraka and Shadow check out the room. It is a room holding a power generator (running on low power) and associated equipment. A cable leads to a junction box on the north wall. Shadow pulls the big switch on the junction box and the lights in the room go out (the glow from the sconces in the corridors remains however). With no other obvious effect Shadow puts the switch back to its original position turning the lights back on.

Meanwhile Wakiya and Spooky move to the end of the side corridor and find it turns back to the east. This leads to a door that is locked with a keypad next to it. This end of the corridor is let with a pinkish light. Spooky works her magic on the keypad, springing the door open. She reports that the keypad is weird - her hand appeared to sink into the keypad and her body quivered as she unlocked the door. Additionally the keypad has fifteen buttons all labelled with strange symbols that don't appear to be numbers and she is unable to decipher them despite having managed to open the door.

Behind the door is a short airlock-like corridor leading to another door and keypad (which Spooky is able to again open). Behind this second door is what appear to be two examination tables and a desk with two chairs that aren't designed for humans. No computers appear to be in the room - the room is odd... too clean and too pristine. There are also sealed containers on the north side of the examination room.

A door in the examination room leads to another room with what appear to be operating or dissection tables. There are also cylinders with something within and cold storage units. However as there appears to be no active threats we're more concerned with yet another corridor leading off to the south with a green sickly light. This leads to another, hopefully final room. At the far end of the new room is a red shimmering wall section that looks suspiciously like a new portal....
