DAY TWELVE
 Complex Population: 13 You wake from that deep, dreamless sleep that enforces curfew as always. However, it's completely dark. There's only the rumbling of a generator, and it's not clear what time it actually is. Maybe you should step outside to see what's going on. ic rulebook character statuses character profiles private conversations graveyard |

[SHE REALLY DOES WONDER... but then she shrugs and reaches over to select it.]
If we're going to walk in there, we might as well know what's waiting for us.

The camera is clearly very high up, on some kind of mountain, and it gives them a wide view of the wasteland before them. There are skeletons of forests and cities for as far as the eye can see. It seems that the worst did indeed come to pass, and the world fell into ruin after the bombs dropped. The sensors may indicate safe levels of radiation, but there's very little to return to on the surface.
In the distance, they can see a fuzzy, dilapidated skyline that they might know as Atlanta's. It's hard to make out any detail because of the quality of the video, but it seems that the buildings are in disrepair, since the skyline looks almost broken.
The camera can be rotated about 90 degrees in either direction, but the view is largely the same. It's a view of ruin and death, and from this vantage point, it's not even clear if anything is left alive at all. ]

Well.
That's about what Alice expected, all things told; nothing is waiting for them, indeed. She is quiet for a few long moments as she takes in the view of the grainy, unfamiliar skyline.]
I suppose this is the last call for anyone who would rather die here than go outside.
no subject
[He looks absolutely adamant about this.]
Being nothing but code in a computer isn't a godsend. It's eternal torture.
[A pause. He clenches his fist at his side.]
I'd rather die as a human being.
no subject
[Not as a human, perhaps, but as herself, certainly. She gives the terminal one last once-over before she steps back from it.]
Shall we go, then? The only way to go from here is out.
no subject
[They have to make the first step out to that world sometime. It's best they do it now, before anyone gets cold feet.]
Let's see what the world has to offer us, Alice.
no subject
...away they go, then. Time to take care of those biosensors. Also I really hope someone has been lugging the missile launcher she and Shijima found around because it seems like they're going to need it.]
I guess we get to do one more bit of destruction of property, for old times' sake. ♡

By the console, there are grisly reminders of the rule of five people, since there are a few clothed skeletons nearby. There are three of them huddled near the gate. It seems their sector only had three survivors, and they died here unable to leave.
But for them? It's only a matter of destroying the security camera like biosensor nearby. Then they'll be able to open the security panel and grab the last five Pip-Boys of Vault 62. ]
no subject
THAT SAID. She doesn't actually know what the biosensor is, so maybe someone should point her in the right direction before she breaks everything she can get her hands on.]
no subject
We have to remove the biosensor for the door to open, so it doesn't register more than five living people.
[He points to the biosensor that is refusing them access to the outside, just like the ones in the operation theater and the trial's killing room.]
no subject
[LET HER FIRE THE MISSILE LAUNCHER SHE AND SHIJIMA FOUND]
no subject
Destroy it.
[Not the best answer.]
no subject
[She's... going for the Fatman. Lord help them all.]
Stand back, everyone. ♡
[Once everyone is a sufficient distance away she is absolutely going to fire it. WHY.]
no subject
WAIT, YOU CAN'T JUST--EVERYONE NEEDS TO LEAVE IMMEDIATELY BEFORE YOU FIRE THAT THING!!
no subject
[RUN GUYS RUN]

But the explosion is not a small one. She's likely to be thrown back from the force, and her ears will be ringing for a while. Alice is injured, but alive, and the biosensor is quite thoroughly broken.
This will allow them to open the security panel, where they'll find five Pip-Boys. Who actually gets them is up to them to decide, but these five Pip-Boys can be used as a key at the other console.
If there's anything else they want to grab or do, they should do it now. Once the Vault door opens, it'll only stay open for five minutes before closing again. ]
no subject
She's still alive, though, and that's better than the alternative. She really has no one to blame but herself - Ciel did try to warn her. God, that would have been a really stupid way to die.
She struggles into a sitting position and puts a hand up to her head.]
...ouch.
[ELOQUENT.
She needs a moment, but she'll go for one of the Pip-Boys once the others have done what they want to do before the door opens.]
no subject
...I really will need Elizabeth's medkit and all these bandages with all of you being as you are.
[ stop HURTING YOURSELF ]
no subject
I didn't think it was going to make that big of an explosion...
[It was pretty cool though.]
no subject
[ she thought it was p cool too ]
no subject
[Once enough time has passed for everyone to do their thing, Alice is going to head over and grab a Pip-Boy! She'll gesture for Shijima to take one too.
(Look I'm just real thirsty for unlocks okay let's pretend this is all happening after everyone does any last-minute stuff.)]
Is everyone ready? Let's go! [Once there are five people with them handy it's time to GO UNLOCK THAT DOOR.]
no subject
Very well. Everyone stay alert.
