11-54 is the story of a filly exploring a strange facility filled with hostile creatures and unstable architecture.
You've gone quite a ways in the last few days but as it stands, your journey is not over.
So far you were born into this facility from mysterious tubes that litter the building. You've managed to die twice, only to
be re-born from the tubes. Along the way you met a pony who is your clone, who is much older than you, and remembers the
facility before if fell into disrepair. Your older clone who you've named Spearmint told you about the mental conditioning
program that the facility used to run, which left her a bit of a psychological mess. There are various hostile artificial
organisms created by the facility that lurk the halls. You are also being hunted by the automated security who seeks to
contain the artificial organisms. Along the way you've also meet an investigative reporter by the Name of Photo Bomb who was
in a helicopter that crashed into the building. Upon meeting the reporter you choose to name yourself Peppermint. After escaping a lab housing a bio-computer's and recently exploring an aquatic biology laboratory you got your ass kicked by a telepathic creature which lost you a good portion of your inventory.
What will you do now?
Come on in to the 11-54 CYOA and help this filly and her companions escape.
Current supplies, a crowbar, a .45 sub machine (2 bullets), a scalpel, your flak jacket, ID badge for security guard Steak Styles, a .308 rifle (15 rounds), various tester chemicals, microscopes, a first-aid kit [partially used], a pen and some loose sheets of paper.
"Photo Bomb, Hold still, I'm going to try to put it back in place."
>"B-but!?"
"Hold still."
>You firmly hold PB to the wall with your telekinesis.
>After pushing her against the wall you stretch her wing out straight to line up the joint before you begin trying to push the joint back into it's socket.
>Photo Bomb grits her teeth and sequels in pain while you push.
>You finally release when you hear a wet pop, which sends PB collapsing to the floor where she simply cries and trembles.
"PB Are you okay?"
>She doesn't seem to respond.
What do you do?
>>27463948
Don't touch her, give her a moment to collect herself and let the pain soothe.
What's Spearmint doing?
>>27463948
Stop the bleeding and just pet her and tell her she should be ok now. Huggle and comfort the PB.
>>27463941
So I had some free time and made a shitty vector of this picture: http://desustorage.org/mlp/thread/26644890/#q26670401
http://imgur.com/a/o74P4I did trace a lot though. Because I can't vector for shit.
>>27464114
Huh. I really should've put more effort into it.
>>27464114
I think the vagoober actually looks pretty nice, but it does look a bit, unpolished just because of the lines. Who is the butt supposed to belong to anyways? I don't recognize the colorscheme.
>>27463948
just take deep breaths.
>>27463948
Look for some water or alchol or something to clean up the blood. Don't want her to risk an infection and possibly draw attention of something with her bleeding.
>>27464157
I actually tried to mimic Dtcx97's style here. But as I said, I can't really vector.
And that's young Peppermint. You see it if you follow the link I posted. But here is the original picture.
>>27464185
The colors are pretty off if that's what you were going for. But it's a fairly solid try none the less.
>>27464216
Thanks, I guess. The 'shading' ruined them a bit, and I didn't really have any official colours for her had to use the colour picker tool on her.
>>27463948
Carefully stop the bleeding as good as you can, say some motivating words and then go look what Spear is doing.
>>27464236
https://img.anonpone.com/archive/11-54/ADECcgS.png
That's an official color scheme for her.
>>27464293
Oh, good to know. I'll prolly fix it.
>>27464303
I tried.
http://imgur.com/a/FCyqw
Don't want to use up too many posts.
>>27464437
Well, you did do a good job.
>>27464437
Better on the colorscheme, but it looks strange not having outlines on her tail. And the shape of the tail,(while fairly superficial) doesn't feel like it matches how hers looks. Not a bad attempt either way.
>>27464469
>>27464505
Yeah, as I said, I don't really know how to vector. Or draw for that matter.Thanks

>You begin cleaning her wing with some alcohol before wrapping it.
>After your work is done you stroke PB's mane with a gentle hoof trying to comfort her.
"Shh, it's okay You're going to be fine."
>You look over your shoulder to check on Spear.
"Spearmint? What are you doing right now?"
>You can see Spearmint staring at you from the island in the middle of the room, "I just got done fixing my own bandages so I was just ... watching you two... You're doing a good job... And you'll be fine Photo Bomb just don't... move it much."
>You can still feel PB shaking under your hoof but she seems to have calmed down a bit.
>Photo Bomb finally speaks up, I c-can feel my wing again."
"Are you okay enough to walk?"
>"I g-guess so."
>PB is still sobbing a bit under her breath but unless you have some strong pain-killers you imagine that there's not much you can do for that.
What do you do?
>>27464775
kiss photo bombs wing.
>>27464775
Stroke her back a bit more with some words of encouragement and then figure out what to do from here.
did we look in those cabinets? Let's leave the room.
>>27464798
>>27465051
>You give PB's wing a little kiss hoping that it will somehow make it better before continuing to pet Photo Bomb.
"Don't worry, you're not going to die in here, we're all just too strong to die in this place. We're getting out of here. All of us."
>While you're busy petting Photo Bomb Spearmint walks over and lays down next to PB.
>Spear then nuzzles her snout under PB's chin and says, "Just take it easy for a bit. We're safe right now so just enjoy it.You'll be okay after a while."
>"I th-thought you hated me?" P'Bers asks.
>"Hate is a strong word.. Just don't worry about it." Spearmint cozies herself into the both of you a little harder.
What do you do?
I've got to take care of some family stuff so the next update will take a while.
>>27465490
Cuddle puddle. That's what we do. And smile.
>>27465504
Aight, seeya later, whenever that may be.
>>27465490
Huh, well spear certainly surprised me with that gesture.
Let's rife through the cabinets like >>27465472
said, but I think we can let PB relax a bit more before we worry about leaving the room.
glad they've started getting along.
>>27465490
well damn

>You're a little surprised to see Spear reaching out to PB, you should probably talk to her about it later. Although things that you wanted to talk to her about later seem to be piling up. like what she said when you wanted her to lie to Apollo, or about those weird feelings you where having about that poster, or about that dream she had. In fact you find that you've forgotten most of your mental list of things to ask Spear about, but maybe this actually tells you something about her as well. You did start off as essentially the same pony, does Spear do the same kind of thing?
"Hey, I'm going to keep looking through the cabinets here for a bit, why don't you two take it easy for a bit.
>Spearmint turns her head, "Are you sure? I can help."
"No, Somepony needs to keep PB warm and I think you're a bigger blanket."
>You hop out of the cuddle pile and begin rummaging through the cabinets more thorough than last time. During this search you find a hooded sweatshirt, a leaded apron, three pairs of safety googles a box of adult sized latex gloves and a bottle of vodka among the troves of beakers test-tubes Bunsen-burners hot plates and tongs left in the room. At least, these are the only things you find that you consider useful, since most of the paperwork is about testing for very specific compounds present in various samples.
>You're pretty sure that it's about time to leave this room, but you also need to figure out what you're going to bring with you and who is going to carry it.
What do you do?
Sorry, I have to call it a night here since I've got to leave for work at three this morning.
Good night.
>>27467687
G'night Bath.
>>27467677
we're going to carry the vodka. It will make an excellent antiseptic in the future.
We can give photo bomb the hoodie. Everyone gets to wear goggles!
Let's cover everypony's hooves. Mostly because the gloves will be useful for storage later.
>>27467677
Drink a bit of the vodka, see if it's still any good.
>>27467717
no drinking for the filly.
>>27467716
I think a hoodie would fit PB the best in terms of it being something I can imagine her wearing. Not sure I agree about the goggles though, maybe keep em around the neck rather than wearing them. Or put em in a container or something.
>>27467725
Filly is old enough to die, she's old enough to at least have a taste. I doubt she'll like the taste much anyways.
>>27467739
if you already know she's not going to like it and most likely will spit it out then it's pointless to even drink in the first place.
Everything is "old enough to die." so that's a crappy reason to anyway. We shouldn't waste a single drop of it. It might also be needed for pain relief in the future.
i suppose we can just wear them around our necks. I just thought we'd look cool.
>>27467759
A sip can't hurt her, and she's strong enough to tough it out.
And Vodka isn't the best antiseptic. Too much water, depending on the proof. Unless it's at least 100 proof, it could harbor bacteria. It should be tasted to see if it's still potent.
>>27467759
It's not really a reason not to either besides, tasting it will see how potent it is like >>27467795
said.
So I did some reading on Alcohol as an antiseptic. We actually only need 70 proof, not 100, but Ethanol also kills body cells along with bacteria, so we should look for saline solution instead.
>>27467842
That's a good point, might want to use it only if we have to then.
>>27467842
Fascinating
>>27468908
Vodkas never lower than 80 proof bump
>>27467842
hot water and salt?
>>27471995
That works. Stings more without baking soda, but works.
jump up bump
a bump for you too
>>27471995
Medical supplies should include prepackaged sterile doses of saline.

>You stare at the bottle for a bit, reading it over.
>You kind of want to try some, I mean you never have had alcohol before, but ou also think that it might not be the best idea. Eventually you come to the conclusion that a little taste couldn't hurt.
>You open you bottle which washes a vaporous fume over you nostrils that almost burns the hairs in you nose. It smells a lot stronger than the rubbing alcohol you've used in the past. You swish the bottle around a bit as you prepare yourself for your first taste, before bringing it up to your lips and attempting to knock back a quick swig.
>The vodka immeadiately fills your nose and mouth with the same fumes you smelled when you opened the bottle and the substance quickly begins to violently burn the back of your throat. Before you've even registered what has happened, you are bent over and coughing out as much of your little taste as your body can manage.
>A worried Spearmint calls to you, "Peppermint!? Are you okay!?"
"Yeah, yeah I'm *cough* fine. I just found some *cough* *cough* Goggles and a hoodie for *cough * PB."
>"Are you sure, you sound a little..."
"No, I'm fine see!?"
>You pop your head around the island and give Spear a little smile.
>You should probably tell Spear and Photo Bomb about the Alcohol but for some reason you feel almost embarrassed about it. of course it could probably be a useful disinfectant or even an emergency pain killer but... Actually everypony with you right now seems to be in a bit of pain now that you think about it. You're even a little sore in quite a few places.
What do you do?
>>27474649
We should ask PB if she knows how much vodka would kill pain but not get us dangerously drunk.
>>27474649
There a spoon around or something spoon like? We can just fill it. plug our noses and take it like medicine.
that should be enough for us. Spear and pb get two spoonfuls.
>>27474649
>>27474685
Spear might know too. Buck up and show them the bottle.
>>27474915
I really don't think showing a bottle to pb is a good idea. Let's just hide it till later and say that we didn't say anything about it because we were going to use it as a molotov.
>>27474932
Why?
What could she do? I think we should show her that we trust her.
>>27474956
say "can I have a drink" every other hour and then get mad at us when she asks for the third time or just drinking half of it in one gulp.
she might also be an angry drunk. or a sad one. I don't want to deal with that. this is her rehab time.
>>27474979
Why do you assume she's a drunk?
>>27474993
seems like the type who would drink to forget her troubles. though it's wrong to assume that. Alright, let's see what happens.
>>27474799
Is this really the safest place to be getting drunk?
>>27474685
"PB? Do you know how much vodka I would need to drink to kill pain but not get me drunk?"
>Photo Bomb begins getting up from her spot, "What, kind of frontier-ass medicine are you talking about!?"
>You decide to tell her about the vodka since it would be a little hard to hide and maybe it's better to let her know that you want to put some trust in her.
"I found a bottle of vodka, and it's pretty full, I thought we could maybe kill pain with it..."
>Spearmint looks at you very intently, "You found some Vodka in here!? C-can I have some?"
>Photo Bomb doesn't seem as happy about this, "This sound... Pretty ghetto. I don't think this is a good idea."
>Spearmint seems to ignore P'Bers, "Whenever I find something like that it usually takes like three of four drinks. don't think I usually try to measure it out."
"Okay Spear... Photo Bomb are you still in pain."
>"Yes... a lot."
"Do you think that you might feel better if we give you some of this bottle?"
>"Maybe? I don't know. I mean, you don't even have anything to chase it with and I lost some blood, I think we all did."
What do you do?
I have to call this here, I have another early day at work driving out of town.
Have a good night.
>>27475486
>What, kind of frontier-ass medicine are you talking about!?
kek
Spear, go easy on it, just take like two drinks.
>>27475486
Uh oh, Spear wants that Vodka a little too much. This was a bad idea.
Oh no, not spear. well with our blood level it won't take much for drunkenness to kick in so we need to drink very little.
i don't think we have anything to chase it with.
boop spearmint on the nose.
>>27475486
Well just take a bit Pb, don't have to drink till you get smashed or something. Just wanna take the edge off your pain if we can. I don't know how far away from any medical supplies we are so this will have to do.
You should take it easy too Spear, you're a little too eager for this. Given the circumstance, it's understandable. But still, don't want to lose your head.
>>27478715
This
>>27475486the look spear is giving us is the same one I used to get for vicodin. That look is bad news peoplebath I'm really impressed with how expressive that is
>>27480537
All I see is a puzzled look on her face, if i'm being honest. I don't see any eagerness.
bump to the top.
>>27481485Looks pleading to me, should have mentioned the hoof too. The body language says eager/desperate more than the face. I could be projecting of course.
>>27481485
I'm reading puzzled too.
>>27483119
The body language and the dialogue says pleading/eager to me as well.
The face is puzzled/confused
>>27483119
I'm just taking guesses here, but the reason I think the overall body language is suggesting a look of puzzlement is that the image is supposed to be taking place right when Pepper is asking about the alcohol. Which is why Spear looks like she's about to walk forward like that. To come over to Pepper and see what she's talking about more specifically.
>>27483142
I am just guessing afterall. It's not like I can just ask Bath what he was supposed to be conveying there,(even though I feel like I already know, but I could certainly be wrong. Wouldn't be the first time).
>>27465490
CUTE

>>27483270
I know right, I had to stop looking at it, I'm pretty sure I was close to having a cardiac event of some kind.
>>27483270
I can't help but feel the only reason she's doing that is for Peppers sake.
>>27483337
I'd say that's a big part of it at least.
>>27483688
There is always the possibility that she's actually warming up to PB too.
>>27483719
She's gone from hating her to "hate is a strong word" ..it's a start.
>>27483270
>>27483304
Indeed. Such an irresistible little face.

>>27478715
"Well we don't have to kill the entire bottle, and you're probably right about the blood loss. So I don't think it will take much to kill pain. which goes for you two Spear."
>Spearmint gives you a puzzled look, "I know it's dangerous I just want to take the edge off a bit." Spearmint sits down and looks away from you, "It's not like it's easy to find something like that in here and when you do it's usually just a mostly used bottle of cough syrup or vanilla extract which is really more like settling..."
>You levitate the hoodie over to PB.
"Still, we're all suffering from at least a little bit of blood loss, maybe take like, two drinks for now Spear."
>"That's fine I mean, we'll have some for later right?"
"Yeah, just take it easy."
>You give the bottle to Spearmint and watch her take a couple of hits from the bottle. it looks like she has some of the same problems drinking the vodka that you had, but she also looks like she anticipated them making the ordeal much more fluid.
>PHoto Bomb put her hoodie on while Spearmint was taking her drinks, and now that Spearmint has finished you levitate the bottle away from her.
"How is that sweat shit?"
>"I don't usually wear things over my wings so it feels weird... But it's really soft."
>You try taking a small drink from the bottle, this time managing to force down your gulp that burns you throat all the way down, before making your stomach feel funny. You cough a bit afterwords while you wonder how anypony gets used to this. You tehn pass the bottle to PB.
"I'm sorry that we don't have anything to chase it with but I'm hoping that it will make you feel better."
>Photo Bomb looks a little worried, "This is going to suck, isn't it?"
"Just think of it like medicine."
>"Yeah, old timey prospector medicine."
>PB, takes the bottle from you and quickly tosses a shot from the bottle down her throat.Before quickly quickly tossing her head foreword and holding her mouth shut with a cough.
I'd say before downing the Vodka to look at the proof. We're all in pain right now but PB is right, we've all got blood loss, and a little bit could knock our asses out. And knocked out from being drunk (and other possible complications) inthe middle of a secret facility filled with death, pain, more death, and possibly worse is not a goodidea. 22 may not be currently trying to kill us, (and i doubt he will, but prefer weariness over the possibility) there's a lot of other horrors that would jump at the chance of getting an easy feast.
TL;DR read the proof, get an idea of how useful it'll be for pain application (and good ol mollies) and wait on the booze. Blood loss + booze = baddies getting free meal.
>>27489300
let's continue to do our best to avoid injury. Damn robots being assholes.
>>27489300
We're relatively safe right now, so lets take a bit of time recuperating. Yes, 22 might come back, but if he had wanted to kill us, he already would have. Also i vote keeping an eye on the bottle spear seems like she might have bottle issues, and i don't think having her incapacitated (more so then we all are really) is a good idea. Chill out, rest, maybe explore if you feel it's safe. place is probably the best 'safehouse' we've had for a while lets take advantage of it. also am wondering something.. I think 22 has more invested in us then he lets on. i remember big poppa-drone back in the mech scene telling us about how 22 had fucked with the tubes and that's why we're here.
Did he do it on purpose?
If so, why?
he's obviously fucked with us twice before, (though it might have been passive but i actually think he's testing us)
just some food for thought
>>27489300
Why are there song lyrics on the vodka?
>>27489300
>PB in a sweater
top cute
>>27489479
What song, I can't make out they words.
>>27489742
Aparently PB has been covertly adorable this whole time.
>>27489900
No one sleep in Tokyo
>>27489300
Could always cut a hole in the sweatshirt so her wings can be out. Obviously it wouldn't be a wise idea to keep her wing movement hampered with it.
>>27489427
>>27489742
>>27489917
>After PB coughs a few more times she exclaims, "Fuck" and puts the bottle down.
>You decide to take a little more time to enjoy relative safety in this room before heading out. You also decide that keeping an eye on Spearmint is a good idea, You don't want her getting drunk in here.
"We could always cut some holes in the hoodie for your wings."
>PhotoBombs thinks about it for a bit , "I don't think we need to. I'm not flying any time soon," PB sighs and sits down next to the wall.
"Yeah, I guess. By the way, you look really cute in that hoodie."
>"Thanks I guess. By the way I took the bandage off of my muzzle. How does it look?"
>PB goes a bit cross-eyed while she tries to look at her nose.
What do you do?
>>27490058
It's red, but it'll be fine.
>>27490058
Did we ever properly apologize for whacking her shit? Or did we just convince her to come, focusing more on escaping?
>>27490058
looks like it's healing. It should disappear soon.
>>27489742
it's not a sweater it's a sweatshirt
>>27490058
Bit bruised and red, but none worse for the wear. Might be infected, but we have the vodka (and possibly more reliable antiseptics) so we can clear that up.
also suggest just chilling. moods been tense, and though it's obvious PB has a lot of shit on her mind weighing it down, the more we poke about it, the more she's going to clam up. She def. needs somepony to talk to, but i suggest giving her some space on the subject.
if possible lighten up the mood a bit, but don't be pushy, we'll just look silly (and possibly piss PB off/make her clam up more.
also hugs. hugs always help, right?
>>27490058
Wouldn't hurt to do it now, rather than later. But whatever you decide is fine with me.
It's a, a bit damaged looking yet, but nothing too serious. At least it doesn't look like her muzzle isn't gonna fall off anytime soon.
>>27490058
If it's not red from the bandage that could be bad news. We should smell it and disinfect it if it smells funky. Actually we should start disinfecting everybodies wounds anyways.
The vodka should probably go to that, plus it will keep Spear from fiending for it.
Disinfecting sleepover party!
>>27490466
Like I said earlier, the vodka is not very good for that because it damages the tissue too.
Soapy water would be better, and Saline Solution would be best
>>27490628
I would agree, but sadly what would be 'best' is unlikely to be readily available. vodka is definitely not the best solution,but in an emergency/survival situation like this, we need to use what we can.
if it's the odds of damaged skin tissue vs. getting ill and possibly killed by microscopic nasties, then i think we choose vodka, plus as mentioned it would keep spear from downing it. we trust her, but fear and possible addictions make pones not always choose the best path.
with that said, if we have any safer antiseptic I do vote we go with that, with booze being a last resort kinda thing
>>27463941
I thought pepper was trying to kill spear in this pic. I just now realized what it is supposed to be.
>>27490058PB, what the hell.stop being adorable
>>27490058
We need a cute pic of Pepper vigorously hugging P'Bers against her will.
I wonder how close we are to the top. hopefully things are more calm up here.
>>27496004
I'm curious as well, but being this 'queen' seems to rule the top levels, I have a feeling things will be worse. though up or down seems it will be extremely tough. I think we can do it though.
>>27496004
I remember something about there being 26 floors with the 13th floor being empty space.

"It looks like it's healing, It's a little red but it doesn't really look infected. we should probably disinfect it anyway. By the way, did I ever apologize for hitting you?"
>"I think you probably did, I don't know. It's not like you need to, I mean I did hit you first."
"Doesn't matter, I still fell sorry."
>You wrap your hooves around Photo Bomb and press into the soft hoodie you gave her. As you press your nose into her soft belly you feel her breath stuttering and hear her squeak a little bit.
"Are you okay?"
>"You're squeezing me wing..."PB says with a squeak.
"Oh."
>You release the pegasus who looks a bit relieved.
>"You know, it's weird. You've made me think about my mom, I kinda miss her... J-just right now. I wish I could tell her that but... well you know."
"Don't worry, we'll get out of here and you'll be able to say everything you want."
>"Y-yeah, sure kid..."
>Spearmint speaks up, "Excuse me, Pepper? Can I speak to you for a bit?"
"Sure thing Spear."
>You get up and walk over to Spearmint.
>"Pepper, I'm worried that Photo Bomb might do something stupid."
"Why!? She's just starting to open up to us."
>"I don't know, she was just talking about how she thinks that she's a bad pony and how she thinks that she's going to die. it's kind of reminding me of myself, and I don't like it."
"I don't think she's going to do anything dangerous."
>"Either way, we should keep an eye on her. Also, I think we've been here for long enough, we should really plan on moving out of here."
What do you do?
>>27508805
Geeze. I guess we'll have to keep any form of alcohol away from Pepper and PB. I have a feeling one of 'em will try to down the vodka when we're not looking.
>>27508805
I'll keep an eye on the both of you, don't want to play favorites here. This place is getting to everyones nerves Spear... I might be going crazy myself if I was still wandering around here alone with no one to talk to. Just try to be a little more understanding ok?
But yes, we should get out of here now, I think we've found the more interesting things in here already.

I think spear might be right. PB has hit bottom.. and she already feels both that she's never leaving this place, and that no one will miss her. peggy has severe self-esteem issues, and she may end up doing something rash. don't think we need to worry too much about keeping PB from the vodka though. from her responses to it, it seems like she doesn't like the stuff, and might even possibly have bad experiences with other who were alcoholics.
i also agree with Spear, much as it'd be nice to relax here, we can't stay here forever and we need to push on. but hate to say it, i think we should also keep an eye on Spear. not that neither of them can't be trusted.. they just both are clashing a lot and even if thier slowly waring up, in such a stressful situation emotions and minds are going to be wire thin.
I vote we push on: establish what floor we're on,maybe even look at things more strategically (scout the floor out for available exits leading upwards, scout each exit to see which one leads furthest up/seems safest) then push on
TL;DR: keep tabs on the other two, but give space,continue keeping booze from spear. Push on wards, find floor number, come up with game plan
>>27508805
Let's leave this place!
>>27508805
Let's get going then, unless any of us need to rest more. Also I'm assuming we don't need to worry about disinfecting anyone's wounds.146
>Hostile creatures in unstable facility.
>Exploring F.U.B.A.R. facility full of hostile creatures.
I can already see the SCP-096 flashbacks. And what about SCP-173, 049, and so? WHY ARE WE NOT CONTAINING THIS SHIT GUYS?!
>>27508805Bath, are you trying to fucking kill us?
Agree to keep an eye on her, but we need to boost some morale even in this shitty place. Somewhere on the agenda, we gotta make PB smile or laugh.
She's been super distant in a situation where companionship has gotten us this far, and I think that's mainly what's bugging Spearmint. She thinks PB is still taking us for granted, minus adding new cuss words to our vocabulary in every conversation.
>>27512250
Funny, I was thinking the same thing, I was going to suggest peppermint crack some jokes but I don't know any.
I hope we can see stairs from where we are.

"Spear, you're probably right, I'll keep an eye on her, and an eye on you too."
>"What!? Why on me?"
"This place is wearing down on all of us and Photo Bomb isn't the only one getting distant emotionally."
>Spear looks away and plays with her mane.
"Hey, if you want to talk, I'm always here. "
>"I'm not sure what else I can really say. You were there when all these things happened."
"It's fine, we all seem to have our problems, but we still have each-other and I'm sure that if any of us were alone, we'd just start going crazy."
>Spearmint's lip quivers and her face tightens.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean..."
>"No, it's okay. You're right."
>You gather the useful equipment and head out into the hallway. One end has stairs and the other grows darker and is lined with doors to other labs.
>You try to think of a joke or something to lighten up the mood but you come up short of material.
>Some creatures scatter away into the darkness as you show your light around.
What do you do?
>>27514709
Go for the stairs, I suppose.
>>27514709
>>27514715
Yea, let's head up those stairs, being cautious that nothing poses a threat, like whatever's slithering over our head or skittering away to our right.
>>27514709
I kind of want to see those other lab rooms just to check if there is anything of use we can find in there.
>>27514709
Up the stairs we go! The roof's our destination, after all
>>27514709
I guess the stairs are the most popular option
I'll vote stairs
>>27514709
>>27514709
>if any of us were alone, we'd just start going crazy

W-wait...Also what the fuck is that thing next to PB?
Beb
>>27515508
Looks like a crab.
bumpa
>>27515508
>>27516616
It's one of those bugs that chrysalis uses as a crown.
>>27514709
check the door across from you and then carefully head to the stairs.

>You want to check the other labs but being as close as you must be to reaching the top of the tower you reluctantly choose to go up the stairs after peeking in another laboratory door and seeing a dark room.
>You reach the next floor and see that the stairs that head up from this floor has collapsed.
>Ahead of you is a partially collapsed hallway that looks like it is still passable as well as a large dark hole in the wall that fades into some adjacent room. There is also a door next to you.
What do you do?
>>27522887
I guess take a look in that door next to you. Do so cautiously though.
>>27522887
Open the door.
>>27522887
MY GOD THERE'S A SPIDER ON THE CEILING!
>>27522929
It's a black widow.
>>27522957
It's just waiting to snag us as we walk under it...... I can just see it happening.
>>27522999
I'd be pissed if I died from some piddlyass little spider when there is much more menacing things in there.That would be funny in a fucked way.
>>27523023
>inb4 it's a super spider that has super poison
I don't think we have any cures for any poison effects, now that we mentioned it.
>>27522887

>You try to open the door, but it seems to be jammed.
>You notice some vines growing from under the door and the floor is a bit damp.
>After trying the door a bit you kinda look up at the fire sprinkler above your head and notice a spider crawling around on it. For some reason this startles you and you start to panic a little bit.
>"What's wrong!?" Spearmint asks.
"There's a spider crawling around up there. D-do you think it's poisonous? Is that a black widow Spear!?"
>Spearmint takes her own look at it.
>"I think it might be a wolf spider... but it looks like she made a web. Either way, we must have crawled through hundreds of those on our way here."
>You shiver a bit thinking about being covered in spiders.
What do you do?
>>27523339
Let's go into the hallway that looks passable.
>>27523339
Open the door, but do it breach & clear style.
Also, is P'Bers still with us? I haven't heard or seen her recently. She better not be doing something dangerously stupid.
>>27523339
>>27523379
Look to see if PB is still with you and look for another way.
>>27523339
Damn sprinkler spiders. I'm voting hallway.
>>27523339
We are in a bioweapons facility, and giant pony-eating spiders are a distinct possibility.
Giant pony-eating plants have already gotten us once.
>>27523339
Cautiously look at the dark hole and carefully move past the rubble.
>>27523374
>>27523505
>>27523531
>You make your way down the hallway and peer into the dark hole in the wall.
>You light up your horn to look around and Inside you find a very large creature this is roughly twenty times your size.
>It appears to be sleeping so you signal to Spear and PB to be quiet as you walk back to the door you were having trouble with.
>>27523379
>>27523482
>You decided that you need more options in case it gets dangerous down the hallway and you try forcing the door open. After jamming your crowbar in and getting some help from Spear and PB you manage to pry it open reveling some different looking labs and a large hole with various vines growing out of it.
>The laboratories seem to be automated functioning to some capacity although you can't tell what they are doing from your doorway and the hole with the vines looks big enough to walk through.
>Thinking back you realize that you can still continue down the main hall past the hole with the sleeping beast, but you can also enter the areas in the door you managed to bust open as well.
What do you do?
I'm going to have to call it here, good night everyone.
>>27523884
night, thanks for running
>>27523882
We do want to get past that thing before it wakes up, so I suggest we file past it silently and quickly.
Goodnight, 11-54
>>27523882
I want to look for a map of this floor on account of things getting potentially hairy if that thing wakes up while we're trying to sneak around.
If there's a way for us to go alone and open access for Spear and PB somewhere, I could go for that.

beb
>>27523882
aww, their cute when their sleeping. I hope we don't smell as much as I think we do, that thing looks like it has a powerful sniffer.
>>27524492
As much as i'd like to poke around, I do agree that we want to make ourselves scarce before that thing wakes up.
>>27527362
Considering how much damage we've seen these things do, I second that.

>You're torn on what exactly you want to do.
On one hand you don't want to be close to that mole-like creature when it wakes up since you've seen first hoof what one can do, and it would be hard to fight one with your current supplies. But you're not sure how to go about this.
>You could try to find a way through these labs labeled "Biological Generation"as well as the hole the vines are growing out of in Biological Generation. It also looks like you may be able to get through the hallway next to the hole the Mole creature is sleeping in.
>Unfortunately you're pretty sure that Nose on the creature isn't just for show and you're almost certain that you all smell pretty bad. You've been sweating and crawling around for days and that can't possibly make you smell less conspicuous. Also you think you remember PB saying something about you and Spearmint being a little ripe.
>You stop and ask Spearmint and PhotoBomb for their thoughts.
>PhotoBomb says, "I have no Idea what we need to do kid. and, I don't want to get you both killed... I'm not that important."
>Spearmint gives PB a concerned look, "I'm not to sure either Pepper. Usually I would back track and look for something easy to hunt and water while I wait for something big like that to leave... But I don't think any of us want to stay around here that long..."
What do you do?
>>27531997
kinda looks like the dark hole is our only option. Though that's just because I don't want to deal with killer plants.
>>27532025
actually nevermind. let's go for the vine hole.
>>27531997
Fuck giant monsters. Go for the plant place.
maybe we'll get lucky and some of the plants will be edible.
>>27532025
Oh, come on anon. The worst that could possibly happen is giant, pony eating venus flytraps that spit digestive acid.
>>27531997
Let's try to find a way through the labs, that's the only option that dosn' t have potential immediate danger.
>>27531997
I wanna suggest sneaking past that monster thing, but that seems risky in itself. Screw it, go through the lab. I just hope those plants are mostly immobile vegetation.
Tell PB that if she won't believe in herself then we'll do it for her. We said we're gonna get out of here together and we damn well mean it. Give her a quick nuzzle to punctuate your point.
>>27531997
>I don't want to get you both killed... I'm not that important."
As much as I use to dislike her. It's hurting me to see PB suffering like this. She must be mentally tearing herself apart and that's horrible.

"Girls, I think the hole made by the vines is out best option."
>Neither Spear of PB disagree both just seem to start following your order without a word. Something about it feels odd.
>You all head down into the hole that was made by the vines. You ravle down until the hole opens up into a large room where lots of different plant-life is thriving.
>Down below you can see the remnants of a walkway that you can almost make out a repeating message from the announcement system droning on.
>You can also see some odd translucent tubes coming from the area of the lab up-stairs and running into the floor.
>You nudge PB a bit.
>"Yes pepper!?"
"Hey, I'm going to get you out of here, You just have to keep your chin up and we'll be fine okay?"
>"Yeah, you're right kid. You'll get out of here."
>PB gives you a little smile and goes back to looking around the room.
>At first you see Spearmint point at a tube and then you catch something moving through it. It was too dark to make out but something definently oved down from the ceiling to the floor in that tube.
>"Did, did you see that?" Spear asks.
"Yeah, I think so."
What do you do?
>>27532525
Let's see what moved. Did it move towards us? Away from us? To the left? To the right? Keep your distance none the less when trying to get a closer look.
>>27532569
This. And we still have the crowbar right? Get that ready too, we'll really really want to avoid using our guns right now. On the account of that thing sleeping nearby.
>>27532525
We need to keep an eye on that blue stuff too, could be that shapshifting goo we read about. Let's proceed slowly, and not get ourselves into a position where we can't retreat back the way we came if needed.
>>27532525
I think it would be a good idea to prepare a Molotov cocktail with the vodka, get that ready in case we need it.
>>27532569
>>27532588
>>27532638
>>27532656
>You recognize the blues stuff as that fungus from earlier, but here it seems to grow much larger.
>You decide to investigate the movement. You get your weapons ready in case whatever you saw is hostile.
>You learn that you can get a very good grip on the brown vines and you easily climb down them. once you get to the tubes you search for what you saw move but you can't seem to find it.
>Suddenly as you are investigating the tube you see one of the creatures from the facility shoot down through the pipe in front of you, into the floor.
>Both PB and Spearmint seem to be a bit startled as well.
What do you do?
I'm going to call it here for the night so I can wake up tomorrow.
>>27532897
Let's take a look around, see if there are any exits to this room and where they go.
>>27532907
Night, thanks again for running
>>27532525
Is that a climbable staircase I see by the tube on the left? If so does it continue on up? I say we hunt around for a way up. If not that, at least a way out. And of course search any boxes or supplies we run across. Basically, explore the room until we find a way onward.
Goodnight, 11-54

>>27532897
I'm pretty sure we've seen a creature like that before, anyways give a good poke around the room.
>>27535641
Let's call em snoots.
>>27536239
Snooters.
>>27531997
>a little ripe
huh?
>>27536598
We haven't bathed in days and smell bad
>>27536769
PB is a smelly pony now too.

Keep the crowbar at all costs.Please. For the sake of Half-Life nostalgia.

>You look around for anything useful but besides some maintenance panels you find nothing of interest.
>The collapsed walkway looks like it is climbable on the side with light shining through the door. You begin climbing up with PB and Spear following your lead.
>When you get up to the room you see two doors, one has been busted down and is labeled "security" The other has automatic sealing doors and is labeled "Bio Production Access Bravo".
>One of those Speaker boxes is repeating,"Bio containment Failure, please proceed to closest evacuation point."
>As you are taking in the scenery another voice disturbs your investigation, "Good morning. You are in a restricted area please identify all individuals currently in this area before we identify your actions as hostile."
>You barely hear the new voice over the repeating announcement system but, you do make out Spear yelping when it begins speaking. Looking back you see Spearmint looking nervous.She's trembling a bit and looking at you as if she wants you to give her some sort of answer.
What do you do?
>>27550623
I'm security and I'm leading a tour group that the company ceo approved of. All access pass.
>>27550716
We still have the security badge too, I think, so we can show them that.
>>27550794
Tell the machine we got a hair cut and a can do attitude. That should cover the change in appearance.
>>27550623
Use the credentials of the pass we found.
>>27550829
we tried this last time and that didn't work. maybe this time we should say the badge was given to us?
>>27550918
Maybe we should just tell them we're an escaped subject, but that we don't cause problems and they should focus on giant moles and the like first?
>>27550716
>>27550953
>>27550918
>>27550877
>>27550794
>You consider telling the A.I. that you are part of the security team but remembering how that went last time you decide to change your lie around a bit.
"I'm a test subject that was created by this facility and I was given this badge and told to come up here with a tour group.
>"This area is off limits to any individual that was not specifically granted access to senior staff for maintenance and approved spawning adjustments only. You stated that you are a Patwrite created life-form correct!?"
"Y-yes?"
>"Now scanning. We have detected three individuals. 1 Non-patwrite life-form and two Patwrite species 11, individual 54 and.... Now Scanning, We have detected three individuals. 1 Non-patwrite life-form and two Patwrite species 11, individual 54 and... We seem to have detected an issue with the biological scanner. Our optical sensors have picked up three individuals in your group. Please identify all members of your party before we escort you out of this restricted area since you do not have clearance to be here."
What do you do?
>>27551193
I don't think we're going to get anywhere like this.
>>27551193
"I have no idea what she just said. I think she told us to continue." Now keep going.
It's late so I'm going to have to let this sit over night. oddly enough, my boss didn't tell me which site to go to tomorrow so I might be off tomorrow, I'm not 100% on that but If I am I might be able to get in more 11-54 than usual tomorrow. As such, This quest will also be one year old today, the 4th that is. I wanted to do something special, but I couldn't really come up with anything. I guess I could always answer questions about some of the lore that won't affect the story at this point, but I'd rather save that for the end of the quest. I could also take some art requests that pertain to 11-54 if you guys would like. Either way, if you guy have a better Idea of what I should do I'm open to suggestion. Either way, good night and I'll be back tomorrow.
>>27551193
Lie about Spear's identity. Lump her in with PB. If they figure out two 11-54s happened at once they may try to "fix" the situation. The machines also don't seem as terse with civilians. If it comes down to it we should take the fall.
>>27551287
We might want to just say "We'll see ourselves out." and head up a level if we can. Otherwise consult our companions and see what the consensus is.
Goodnight, Bath, as usual it's been fun.
Man I want to shut most of the machines off here.
