Ribosome-R went to track down the hound.

It comes. The corrupter comes. Don't let it touch the tower lest all reality crumble.

I'm sorry Lander, but you cannot choose what NPC's say, that is my job.

Margurite, you are bleeding heavily. Fortunately, your blood is RED clearance.

Ribosome, the bot is simply too fast and you lose track of it.

The BLUE huffs off angrily and tells you all to get lost. A pair of smoking boots is on the ground.

"Agreed," says Cecilia, turning to Lander with a vaguely disapproving stare, yet still somehow managing to smile. "You didn't have to scare it off like that."

She watches in vain as the BLUE runs off. So much for his help.

I start swaying heavily and take the Visomorpain pill that I brought with me to calm me down.

A nearby vending machine begins to speak in a perky robotic voice.

"Hey, troubleshooters. Need help?"

I manage to slowly turn my head towards the robot.

"Help? Why yes, I could use help."

I then giggle.

That's when Cecilia turns to find the smoke. She slowly backs away from it, but still tries to assess how much of a threat it really is.

"Um, yes," she answers the robot voice in almost as much cheeriness. "Is that a bomb?"

"Well, I got a map of the Alpha Comples here among my wares. I'd be happy to sell it to you." says the vending machine.

Smoking boots are an everyday sight in the Alpha Complex, as they are all that remains when someone is disintigrated.

I giggle again.

"For how much, Mr. Friendly Robot?"

"For you, the low low price of just 1,000 credits."

At those words, Cecilia draws her complete attention to the vending machine (while still keeping track of the potential bomb).

Ouch.

Lander walked up to the friendly Machine with a raised eyebrow. You look like you could use a good hacking.

Hacking computer property is treason.

"It's not hacking, this is a mandatory computer checkup." Lander smiled

Ribosome-R returned with his head held down. I'll have to get off soon.

I didn't get far with a sprained ankle, so I'm close enough to hear the machine. "Does anyone have enough credits?"

[up][up]Do you mean you have to leave the game soon, or was that in character?

On that topic, this opening sequence is going much longer than I expected. How much time do the rest of you have? Should I abridge the mission a bit?

Not entirely sure if Xenon and I will have to be called away, but hopefully not for a few hours.

If none of you have the credits for a map, you could pool them.

I check my money pouch.

"I have 480 credits. How much do the rest of you guys have?"

I check too. "658. But if the machine happens to have something to fix my ankle, possibly less."
