Parallax- Chapter 12

The marines that had masks put them on, while most had full enviroment suits, few lacked even a mask.

"It's not toxic..." one said after a few moments...

Sergio stepped back a foot anyway, but then remembered he was wearing an environment helmet, and calmed down.

"what is this stuff it doesnt seem to be harmfull"
((do i have a helmet?))

((The entire underground section is spewing the stuff, and you're AT LEAST 6 floors under, there is no backing away...))

"So? Fog to cover their escape?" one of the helmeted marines asked.

"Don't know," said another.

"wow this stuff is thick"
((dude am i wearin a helmet?))

((I know I don't))

"DAMMIT, DAMMIT!... This better not be the end..."

*He covers his mouth with his shirt, and takes a light breaths of the gas to test it's potency. *

((I already said you can't avoid it. You've already breathed it for a while...))

"Okay, keep moving!"

*Realizing it isn't quite deadly, he follows the marines*

((Yes you have a helmet Okami, but it it doesnt exactly protect from gasses))

Sergio followed the marines

((Anybody spare a medkit? Looks like I've taken some hits))

duma runs after them

The troops pressed on, mowing down everything in their way, finding multiple doors and chambers, even a door with blue markings, and one with red.

*Noticing the familiar blue marking, Melchior stops and takes out his card, inserting it in the slot*
"C'mon, Daddy needs a new pair of shoes..."


((Please tell me this isn't a trap...))

The door beeped and opened. Inside were lockers and cabinets, and a desk against the far wall.

"Well, it's not cash, but something"
*Timidly keeping an eye out for traps, he searches the contents of the lockers and cabinets, then finally the desk, finding...*

((documents, weapons, drugs?...))

The marines entered the room, weapons ready. Sergio followed them in, stopping by Melchior
"Nice job finding that card!"

*Surprised someone followed him*
"HOW DID...?!... Nevermind, you're gonna make me share, aren't you?"

All the items were locked, even the cabinets...

*After attempting to open and search the containers, Melchior pounds the wall*
"... Nothing ever seems to go my way..."

"Share what...?"

* Even more depressed by that last comment, he sighs*
"Nevermind, just... Nevermind..."

*He notices his flesh wounds from the firefight*

" Anybody got a medkit?"

"Yeah, sure. Just hold still a minute." Getting out a light medkit

One of the marines lockpicks a locker, "Weapons here."

((Use hacking for lockpicking too))

*grabs a random weapon out of the locker*
"Since, I found it, you boys wouldn't mind if I?..."
*pauses*
"Probably not. I was that close to free weapons..."


*Notices an unopened cabenet near the desk, larger than the others, and tries his luck with a pin*

*/Roll Hacking*

((there should be a dice thing on the post format. just choose hacking dice))

Sergio feels momentary idleness and grabs a pin off of the desk and tries it on the locked drawer.
