>The room you are in has some one-way glass windows that overlook a testing room, some loose stools, a terminal and two doors, one leading back to the hallway with the robots and one leading to a room marked Detention Observation.
>The vines that emerged around the flower begin to rub themselves in and around the pedals.
>You look back from the flower that just tried to chomp down on your bullets and you see that the robots outside the room are starting to peek inside.

What do you do?

>>24936707
Throw a stool at the flower and dash past while it's distracted.

>>24936740
where are we dashing?

>>24936758
Into the not-robot doorway.

>>24936762
The one marked 'The death show'?
That not robot doorway?

>>24936767
Yes. The room marked 'Observation'. This isn't hard. If you have an alternate idea say so.

>>24936775
Go through the window into the testing room and mortar the robots.

or if we go to the death room, we leave the flower alone since its already been triggered but might reset in time to grab a robot for us.

>>24936707
wew
lets try that detention observation door.

>>24936799
The flower is waving tentacles around, we need to give it something to poke at so that it doesn't grab one of us. Chances are it will get tired of the stool by the time the robots are going past.

The reason I don't want to go into the testing room is because the room that seems to be Observing it is marked 'The death show'. Implying it's an observation platform for death. Which would be in the testing room.

>>The reason I don't want to go into the testing room is because the room that seems to be Observing it is marked 'The death show'. Implying it's an observation platform for death. Which would be in the testing room.

The reason we should go into the testing room is because the testing room will have another door leading out [since they probably didnt break a window to get in every time]. The observation platform could just be a dead end and besides, spear was killed by robots in the testing room. we already have that problem.

Also the tentacles aren't waving around, they're going into the petals of the flower. They're likely there to help eat the crushed pony slurry that would normally be in there.

It's possible going through the wall put us in an area connected to the kennels and we could get around the robots and back to the containment rooms that way.

>>24936767
I'm pretty sure that the death show takes place on the other side of the glass.

>>24936945
That doesn't make sense.

If the death show is through this window, why would it be marked on a door called observation? the door is the route to the death show, so this can't be it.

Count another voat against going to the death show.

>>24936958
I'm thinking that the next room is like this one, in which there are two halves separated by glass.
Right now, we're on the scientists side of the rooms, not the specimen side.

>>24937014
Why would they mark a door with 'the death show' if they didn't need to go through the door to watch the show? They could just turn to the left and use their own window.

>Spearmint screams and hides beneath the console. "I didn't do anything wrong. I didn't do anything wrong I didn't do anything wrong...."

What do you do?

>>24937036
See pic.

The scientists and specimens have different entrances and exists. They're always separated by glass.

"Show" implies observing, not participating.

>>24937090
called it.

>>24937090
turn around, throw the mortar, close the door and take cover under the console. Hopefully we can salvage this mistake.

>>24937090
Is there anything we can barricade the door with?
We're probably going to have to break the window and go through that door, which means coaxing Spearmint through there.

>>24937135
thats probably not the type of door they want to open from the inside.

>>24937144
We have a crowbar.

>>24937158
and if the door is metal it wont give a fuck about your crowbar.

we'd be better off looking for a switch on the console that opens the door. but hey, look what happened the last time you didn't listen. :^)

What do you do?

>>24937386
They're gone Spearmint. They can't hurt you anymore.

>>24937386
Take advantage of her suggestive programming, be assertive. Tell her to calm down and scan the console for a way to open the door or disable the machine.

If there's no obvious way, shoot up the console to disable it and break the glass. Then wait to see if the robots survived the mortar, if something starts bashing down the door, go through the window and escape through the death room. The disabled console will hopefully prevent them from turning that thing on when we're in there.

if nothing bashes on the door, wait and console spear. if it seems like the mortar took care of the robots, open the door and check out the testing area.

>>24937386
Pull her head to our chest and tell her reassurances such as >>24937404.

How the hell did Spearmint manage to survive a whole decade in this place?

>>24937445
By not leaving her safe place to help ponies or mess with shit.

>>24937386
I think seeing the testing room put Spearmint into PTSD.

If the mortar's gone off, peek out to see if the robots are trashed. If they're still advancing, use console to open doors, then shoot out the glass with the .308. Beware possible ricochet when doing so, as the glass may be tougher than expected. Then dash through the testing room (dragging Spearmint if necessary) and escape through the door. Once the door switch is identified, if time permits, experiment with the room switches a little to see what turns what on/off... And turn everything off!

It looks like you may be able to squeeze through without your armor but Spearmint will not be able to make it through.
>You check the console. none of the switches or buttons are labeled. There appears to be some kind of phone receiver that is labeled 'operations' on the console as well.
>You want to comfort Spearmint but you feel like it might be a good time to collect your thoughts first.

What do you do?

>>24937652
Try the phone and give Spearmint a hug.
Keep on alert for any sign that the robots are still active.

>>24937652
okay, we're safe but effectively trapped. lets break the glass and see if the door can be opened, then get over to spearmint and hug that pone. Tell her she's safe, that we're sorry we raised our voice, that she's not going to be hurt.

>>24937667

No.

You're just doing the best you can in a really bad situation. This place is horrible Spearmint. I don't think there's anywhere like it outside. I hope not, anyway. But either way it's not fair to judge yourself for what you've done in here. Normal ponies tortured you and the others for years, and they weren't doing it to survive.

>>24938023
Jeez, those are some dark thoughts.

She not entirely wrong, either. 11-54 is controlled by us Anons, and we don't have many moral restraints when it comes to survival.

In the end, it doesn't matter what we're predisposed to do. If given the chance, we can grow and change into something better.
Escaping or destroying this facility is the only way to stop the cycle of violence, so that's what we should focus on.

bump

>>24938023
We're not violent by design, otherwise I would have killed you when we first met no? Do you remember doing anything to be punished? I think it was just part of their experiments. The ponies here were unfeeling and wanted to see what would make you break.

They left everything here because they were overrun. Tell her you found dead facility members. Has she seen bodies? Did she kill those ponies?

The reasoning was thin at best. But he was such an f'd up specimen he probably didn't mind that much. Next encounter with him, though, I wanna see us capture and tie the beast up, rather than a bunch of bone-cracking. I think he'd be a valuable info source in here.

I got the left and right reversed for 11-54's Pov.
Sorry.

>>24972000
it doesnt really matter, theres only the one clear route that isnt abandoning spear.

>>24972000
We should use north south east and west instead of left and right. That way, POV doesn't matter.

>>24971943
>>24971953
>You peek around the corner.
>You see a robot standing motionless at a corner. It appears to be missing a foot and it's right arm.
>Beyond the robot is a light that illuminates the hallway further on.
>You also spot a staircase that leads down.

What do you do?

>>24972143
Get a piece of rubble and launch it high up so that it'll arc into the stairwell. Hopefully it's auditory processing is fine. We should be able to scurry on past it if it turns to look/investigate the sound.

>>24972155
if we're lucky its missing foot will make it take a tumble down the stairs.

>>24972155
>>24972179
Good idea, let's try that

>>24972179
Let's address that. If it's at the edge of the stairs do we want to give it a little nudge?

>>24972155
>>24972179
>>24972202
>You find a loose piece of concrete and toss it down the stairs with your telekinesis.
>Very slowly, the robot limps over to the stairwell and stops.
You quickly sneak past it and look down the hall. there doesn't seem to be any robots in the hallway with the door to the detention room although a hallway that leads off to the left is a little past the door to the detention room.
>You think about giving the robot a little nudge down the stairs, because you're still very close to the robot. You decide that it's now or never and you give it a little push with your telekinesis.
>It make a whole bunch of noise ans it crashes down the stairs. More than you thought it would. Nothing has come for you yet but you know you can't count on that.

What do you do?

>>24972471
bring the crowbar i said...

>>24972471
Check detention door.

>>24972471
Look down the labs hallway to make sure nothing is going to sneak up behind you then check the detention door.

>>24972471
Let's get a close up look at that door. We might be able to pick the lock or shoot it off.

>>24972494
>>24972662
>>24972519
>As you pass by the Detention access door you pop it open. The door is operated by a button that pushes up and swings the latch.It swings back shut but stays ajar by the latch.
>Instead of going right in to reunite with Spearmint you look down the hallway marked "labs".
you see a bunch of red lights in the hall, as well as two robots shambling towards the hallway you are in.

Fell asleep on the keyboard. This is going to be it for tonight.

>>24972690
We could take cover in the room, knock out the glass and use the detention machines to fight the bots.

either way, goodnight.

>>24972756
Sounds like a decent plan.

bump

Close the door, and make a run for the staircase, if the robot sees you make a run for the stairs still.
This robot is missing a few limbs so he can't move fast enough to attack you

>>24972690
couldnt we just knock over the walking one since it has no arms to attack us with or get up with?

and how threatening is a one limbed bot? I'm more concerned about the other red lights.

>>24973847
I don't think the threat is in the damaged ones, but simply the fact that there seem to be tons of them. You can fight off a couple of crippled robots. You can't fight off an entire crowd comprised of a bunch of whom are probably not cripped. This would be a job for one of those delicious mortar shells but we simply don't have a disposable one for this.

We need to get away undetected. They might have been called by the telephone voice but it doesn't matter now. Avoid them.

>>24972690
That doesn't look good at all.

>You make your way over to the detention room. You try to signal to Spearmint to bust open the window. There is now response.
>You hear the robots getting closer, in a panic you shut the door. As it latches shut it lets out a loud clack.
>You hear the robots stop for a moment before resuming their pursuit. you duck past the corner and peek out into the hallway. you can see robots coming from the labs hallway and the hallway corner at the end of the hall. as you think about what just happened, you hear a bunch of racket coming from the stairs that you pushed the robot down.

What do you do?

>>24982593
These robots are out of date because their communication protocols were mothballed right, so maybe they can't 'talk' to each other because their is no network to connect them.

So in theory, they wont just loiter in front of our objective, but will rather come to investigate the noise from the stairwell, so all we have to do is let them pass.

duck into a door and wait them out.

>>24982593
I vote to hole up and wait.

Keep the revolver ready though.

>>24982593
Hide and wait, maybe you can send a couple more down the stairs when they go to look down.

>>24982673
>>24982706
>>24983049
Sorry about the wait, connection timed out and I thought that it posted.

>You sneak into one of the rooms in the hallway. you don't close the door to avoid making more noise.
>You can hear the robots moving around outside.
>In the room is a small bed with sheets and two pillows.
>The robots continue to move around outside. You feel a growing sense of anticipation as you wait for the pitterpatter of artificial feet to cease.

What do you do?

>>24983061
Well, in normal conditions we could scalpel up the sheet for some bandages. I don't know what we can do other than wait. We could throw the pillows under the sheet to make them look like someone is under it, but given the amount of robots I don't see that helping.

Then again, it can't hurt either.

>>24983093
>You wait in the room for the robots to pass.
>Eventually you see the one you pushed down the stairs go past the room. it lumbers a bit further and starts making some awful electronic noise.

What do you do?

>>24983288
let it pass and head in the opposite direction.

>>24983288
>starts making some awful electronic noise.
is that supposed to mean something to us? Just keep waiting.

>>24983288
You know, I reckon we could probably take that robot out. That red eye is practically screaming "this is my weak point — shoot here."

>>24983288
These robots seem like they're not very intelligent. They don't seem to be searching or to have acknowledged that something pushed this one over, it's possible that with the network down their programming is no more advanced than 'see non-bot, kill'.

So, its making noise, noise attracts robots. throw the sheet over the robot, they will investigate and see a non-bot and we'll have our distraction. unfortunately this hallway makes it fucking impossible to use that distraction, we literally just have to hope they go away after killing their 'target'

>>24983347
>>24983389
>>24983309
>You get the feeling that these androids aren't the smartest out there. You soon formulate a daring plan to keep them busy.
>You get a sheet off of the bed in the room you ducked into and burst out of the room, tossing it on the nearest robot's head.
>As you peel out you notice that a robot that still had a hand was going for the detention room door before you interrupted them.
>As you begin running away from the robots who soon begin to give chase you notice that all of them have turned their attention to you. and are all making that horrible electronic noise now.

What do you do?

>>24983595
suspect that you got on a railroad at some point and the QM didn't have solutions for his own puzzle.

>posts picture of a robot in an empty hallway
>we get seen because all the robots were off camera and looking in our direction
Really.

>>24983621
>>24983652
gonna be honest with you guys A lot of bad decisions have led up to this point that should have gotten a pony killed by now, not sure why I've not killed us yet.
Also, I'm running this drunk right now.
There is a way out of this situation but I'm not sure if it's gonna happen at this point.

>>24983595
Well shit. We could draw them back to the rubble, move through it then smash the window and make a break for it. These things aren't very fast.

>>24983688
You ever here the rule that any given puzzle should have three solutions?

and that it's your job as a QM to present those options? If you wrote this quest out with an enigma machine it couldn't be more cryptic, you withhold information constantly and then wonder why people don't read your mind.

But to answer your question: You don't kill them off because your two characters are the only reason people play this quest because the gameplay itself is objectively bad.

>>24983696
>You run back around as the robots give chase and quickly duck into the rubble of observation 9, climbing through it until you reach Spearmint.
"Spearmint, There is a bunch of robots that were following me. I'm sorry but we may have a lot of company when we leave here. I'm sorry that I didn't come in and get you from the other side first."
>Spearmint gives you a warm smile, "Honestly I'm just glad to see you again. I was worried."
"Alright, we're going to have to move quickly after we break this window down. I think the robots react to sound."
>"Alright."

That's it for tonight.

>>24983898
Well vandalizing property isn't the worst we've done. Do one last glance around to make sure that there's nothing in particular left in this room. Then we gotta dash like maniacs.

>You hear the robots getting closer, in a panic you shut the door. As it latches shut it lets out a loud clack.

Sorry I'm Having trouble warming up today.
Give me a moment.

>>24984704
>You look around the room one last time for anything useful. You don't' find anything particularly useful.
>Now that you're sure you're ready to go, you smash the window to the detention room and run to the door. Even though you shut it, you convinced yourself that you can fiddle with the lock with your telekinesis.
>Fortunately, you don't even have to do that much as it seems that one of the robots reopened the door at some point.
>You open the door ready to bolt with Spearmint following close behind.
>Now you must make a decision do you run forward to the Hallway you saw marked "labs", to your right where the hall turns down a path you have yet to explore or to your right towards the staircase and hole you climbed to this level through, Knowing full well that every path has the potential to be infested with androids.

What do you do?

>>24992784
labs, the stairs went down and we've been heading up.

>>24992784
Let's go to the labs. The monsters in there will save us, or kill us.

>>24992887
mostly kill us.

>>24992807
>>24992887
>You and Spearmint begin running down the hallway marked labs. about halfway down the hallway, you begin to see a bunch of robots approaching you. Just to your right is another hallway that you have yet to explore.

What do you do?

>>24993158
To the right! Man, fuck robots.

>>24993158
>combat testing

no bueno

>>24993202
There could be weapons we could use. Besides, we don't really have much choice right now.

>>24992395
Poor, traumatized poni

>>24993158
No place to go but there, I think.

Personally, I'm hoping for an urban combat testing environment with lots of pop-up targets and moving things to distract them while we find another way out.

>>24993191
>>24993264
>>24993368
>The two of you duck into the hallway marked combat testing.
>The hallway is dark, but you can see three doors to your left, two doors to your right and a double door in front of you.
>You wish that you had more time to read the labels on the doors more thoroughly, but the androids are quickly closing the gap behind you.
"Spearmint!, Do you know where we should go!?"
>"I don't know! I've only been in the first door to the right, and I don't think there's an exit in there!"

What do you do?

>>24993438
Search for "Weapons Storage" or try the double door, that's probably likely to have an exit or at least be large enough to maneuver around inside to get around the robots and back out, if necessary.

>>24993438
Second door on the left, can anyone make out what that's saying?

>>24993438
Straight on

>>24993524
>>24993578
>You and Spearmint run straight forward and head into the double doors in front of you.
>Inside you find a very big room with a bunch of odd concrete obstacles attached to the floor.
>The room is dark, illuminated by some of the glowing red plants hanging from the ceiling.
>Directly to your right, you see something that looks like a set of stairs leading up to some kind of observation floor.
>On the wall to your left it looks like there is a big overhead door.
>On the opposite wall there seems to be another set of double doors.
There also seems to be a lot of plants growing in this room, as well as equipment laying all over the place.
>You suspect that the robots know that you entered this room.

What do you do?

>>24993827
Anything large we could block the door we came through with? If not, just head for the other double doors. Watch out for the plants, and try not to step under any hanging from the ceiling. Check out that vehicle near the doors too.

Sorry about stopping here for the night, but the clock is telling me that tomorrow is going to be rough.
I'm going to leave it here for tomorrow.

>>24994090
sleep tight bwh

Just occurred to me:
We need to figure out at what point the machines decide it's time to de-infest and clear a room. Might be helpful next time we find a machine we can talk to without getting attacked.
