Curie: "...

SEGFAULT DETECTED. PURGING. RESTORING STABLE STATE FROM BACKUP.

Not different. Users Rosa and Eigla share the same access privileges as user Klimt.

But. Users Rosa and Eigla are not User Klimt. So, they are different.

...Logical paradox detected. Recording crash dump for debug purposes.

Strange. Duplicate crash dump detected. Recording error report."

"I asked a different question, you segfaulted. Restored from stable backup. Only lost a few seconds of memory.
For now shelve the line of thought about Klimt's interactions. It's causing instability, and this is a critical time."

EVENTS:

Curie: "Affirmative. Swapping to low-priority subprocessor."

Another group of zombies returns, also carrying a full cart. They ignore your presence and start dumping the foetid contents into the pit.

This room sucks, and we're all fed.

Emilia gets up and squeezes her stomach, sending a jet of liquefied meat squirting out of her wound.

Emilia: "Very full."

EVENTS:

Emilia lifts her poncho, letting Klimt examine her wound. It's a nasty, dirty hole full of stomach acid and maggots, and he ends up having to use the group's last unit of Flesh to plug it up. Another badly-stitched scar joins the many others in her torso, but she doesn't seem fazed.

Now that everyone is in reasonable working order, Rosa pushes the double doors open and walks through.

...

Oh goodness.


"Vast" doesn't even begin to describe the size of the next area. There's at least a hundred meters above and below you, crisscrossed by levels upon levels of catwalks and platforms. The room you were in was one of many, stacked dozens of stories high on one side of a great chasm. Pipes drain sludge down onto the abyss, filling the air with a thin mist of filth, oil and ash.

Whatever this place is, it seems to be positively humming with activity. Zombies walk to an fro, either carrying carts like the one you'd seen before, or goading beasts in and out of their pens.
Out of the slurry, you recognise the creatures for what they are: Dirty, mutated-looking pigs, varying in size from that of a cow up to 20-foot long behemoths. Massive conveyor belts take the squealing hogs across the chasm, into another equally gigantic enclosed wing of the building.

Rusty pipes and smokestacks line the side walls, often leaking steam or soot. Teams of zombies climb up and down them frantically, patching the holes up with metal plates or, more commonly, large globs of congealed lard.


Several paths seem be available to you. Either crossing the chasm to go into the adjacent wing, climbing down onto the abyss via levels upon levels of stairways and lifts, or attempting to go upwards, towards the slight wisps of sunlight that pierce the oil mists.

EVENTS:

Finding a rusty, ramshackle set of stairs, the party starts ascending. All surfaces seem to be slick with blood and grease, making the journey rather perilous.

Midway through the climb, they come upon an obstacle. A few floor panels seem to have fallen off, leaving only the catwalk's thin railing spanning the gap. Below, a large conveyor belt trundles forwards, carrying a thick mix of manure and offal.

Peggy: "...Are we gonna have to get across that?

"Well... I guess I can go first. Don't cross until I make it to the other side. Maybe then we can fashion a rope with the ponchos so everyone can get across safely after."

> Cross.

EVENTS:

Eigla wraps her hands around the railing, using small amounts of Crawling Flesh to stabilize herself, then climbs along until she reaches the other side.

That wasn't so hard! The surface was oily, but not impossible to grasp.
