"No, Peggy, she's worth more than a torso... a genuine military processor unit. We will need her as we go north. She's our link to the old world, as insane and warlike as it was. Don't ever let her know you said that."

EVENTS:

Peggy: "Oh. So much for me getting her torso then, I guess."


Eigla takes a look at the elevator, trying to figure out what's wrong. The platform doesn't seem to be going up or down, even when mild pressure is applied, and sparks come from the mechanism every few seconds. Other than that... she's at a loss.

EVENTS:

Eigla determines there are no breaks, per se. Instead, a miniature electric-powered oil pump causes a piston to extend, separating a series of trellis-shaped steel bars and lifting the platform. The pump seems to be jammed somehow, and is glowing mildly red from overheating.


Peggy: "If, they are better."

"Does this facility have a mechanic bay or some place where tools are stored?"

The pump blows a whiff of steam back at Eigla's face.

Doll: "Affirmative. There should be a complete tool cart in the security maintenance room this unit had previously mentioned."

EVENTS:

Doll: "Le Refuge. A city for humanity's best and brightest, a safe haven and stronghold against the machinations of petty warlords and necromancers.

One day, all will recognise its greatness, and the Motherland will rise from the ashes.

Page two, COMBINED FORCES' UPLIFTING PRIMER.

Unit was made there, but has little recollection of it. 98.2 percent of unit's active time was spent in this room."



Meanwhile, Klimt follows the Doll's instructions and reaches the maintenance room. There's a few workbenches, flickering lights and, thankfully, a rusty red toolcart.

He sees a figure with the corner of his eye and turns toward it, ready to fight!

Oh. It's the defective patrol unit she mentioned. The exoskeleton is propped against a wall, its gun arm bent beyond recognition, while the zombot itself sits beside it, stasis suit active.

"Do you think we should recover an exoskeleton, for the use of our new Operator? I found the damaged one in the tool room."

"Sure."

> Check the tool cart for wrenches and chains. Begin securing the lift by chaining it to nearby sturdy things. Once secure, look up at the doll -

"Can you power off the lift?"
