EVENTS:

The party descends into the darkness. The lower floor is even harder to navigate than the previous ones, and they have to stick extremely close to Peggy, being careful to avoid the sight of the zombots. There's at least three shambling around, as well as several Spiders.

Like before, there's several rooms. An empty medbay, officers' quarters, storage areas and mess halls. All seem very much abandoned and devoid of many useful things, though you have little time to search each one before having to move out of a zombot's patrol path.

As you're exploring, something sneaks up on you from behind! A fourth zombot, undetected due to lacking a flashlight!

UNIDENTIFIED UNDEAD DETECTED. PRESENT-

He suddenly stops, the attached Spider's laser beam resting on Rosa's new arm.

PATROL-05. ACKNOWLEDGED. CARRY ON.

The zombot trundles away, and the group lets out a collective sigh of relief.


Eventually, you reach a large door, the words "SITUATION ROOM" stenciled onto it. It seems to not have been opened in a long while, so hopefully the zombots won't patrol in there.

EVENTS:

Eigla uses all her might and prises the heavy blast door open. The group piles in, then closes it behind them.

There is light here, at least to some extent, though the air is heavy with rot and blood. The room is quite tall, a huge metal sphere being suspended above you, glowing a faint blue through small portholes on its surface. There is a strange growth on the bottom, though you can't quite make out what it is.

The walls are lined with flatscreen panels, though they're all off at the moment. There's rows of chairs and computer stations, as well as one large holographic projection table in the middle. Lying against it is a single corpse, a rusted old pistol clenched in its skeletal fingers.

To the sides, you see a few rooms. One door is labeled WC, the other STORAGE, the other CONFERENCE ROOM, the final one MAINTENANCE.

Looking down, you see the room continues downwards as well, and the area you're in is actually suspended above a large abyss. You hear running water, far far below.

Rosa turns on her night vision and looks up. The sphere seems to be... Straight up, a huge riveted steel sphere, hanging from the walls by a multitude of cables and pipes, peppered with gauges and portholes. The mass on its underside can now be recognised as a young-looking Doll, wearing a decayed sundress and hung upside-down by a thick bundle of chains and organic parts.

She seems inactive, though you shudder for a moment as you notice the large sentry guns mounted to her body, taking place of her arms and legs.
