EVENTS: Klimt brings the toolcart back, and Eigla uses a few chains as well as a small jack to prop the platform up. Eigla: "Can you power off the lift?" Rosa: "Can any of the guarding bots see the large undead we put them out to defend against?" There is a brief sparking sound, and the pump stops glowing. Doll: "Pump de-energized. Switching camera input." The main screen changes to several over-the-shoulder views of zombots, probably being transmitted by their spiders. They seem to be on the surface, which is covered in a thick layer of ashes. Seems like the storm was very fierce! One of the zombots crosses the gate and approaches the edge of the ravine. Looking down, there's... Nothing. No meatcube, but no sign of the giant red splatter it had left on the bottom, either. |

> Inspect all places where the platform contacts a static object - rails, etc. Check for debris or damaged/worn contact points and bearings. Inspect the external piston shaft - check for damage that may cause the piston to be unable to extend and retract. Inspect the pump itself - inspect for damaged hydraulic lines or leaks. Attempt to locate access valve for the fluids, but do not open it yet. |

EVENTS: Eigla inspects the lift's mechanisms. Nothing seems to be blocking the moving parts, and the piston seems reasonably clean. However, pinching the oil hoses that leave the pump, she finds a large lump in one of them. There is a screw-based disconnect valve where it meets the piston, so it should be possible to clear out whatever the blockage may be. Eigla and Klimt hear the sound of distant bubbling. |

EVENTS: Eigla quickly disconnects the pipe, allowing Klimt to use one of his tendrils to pull out a clump of rusted metal. A large amount of oil squirts out onto her, hopefully meaning the passage is now clear. She draws her sword, ready to defend herself if needs be. Rosa peers down into the darkness. Using her night vision and zoom enhancements, she manages to catch a glimpse of running water, hundreds of meters below. There's... Something moving down there, but she can't quite make out what. Straining her eyes, she notices the walls of the shaft seem to be glistening, as if covered by a layer of liquid, slowly creeping up. How strange. |

EVENTS: Eigla reconnects the pipe, then unlocks the lift. It slowly sinks back into its closed position. Eigla: "Power on the lift!" Doll: "Affirmative. Engaging." The platform begins to rise, and the two girls find themselves face to face with 552. From up close, it's possible to see she has no eyes, the empty sockets dripping reddish pus. Rosa grabs the first aid kit and begins to operate on the doll, following the instructions that appear on-screen. She cuts through the rotted dress, exposing an anatomy far less human than expected. The operator's torso is criss-crossed by tubes and sutures, and her skin is dry and leathery, looking and smelling more corpse-like than any of you. Most disturbing of all, her back seems to be an amalgamate of copies of her head, piled upon one another like eggs on a spider's back. Several of the faces seem to have structural functions, mouths and eyesockets being connected by flesh and metal tubes to the brainmass. Others seem to be mere copies of her main one, mouths talking in unison. None have functioning eyes. Doll: "Thought matrix exposed. Please take care to only cut away the highlighted connections." Rosa: "Eigla. Please stop running. I, I don't want to hurt you. Just, hand her over. Neither I nor her can be allowed to live." You all stop to look at the source of the sound, and see a normal-sized, human-looking Rosa climbing on the edge of the platform, leaving bloodstains onto the railing. |
