Re: The Journey to EVE-1
As you are preparing to go south, you hear from the trail behind you (the one you came down a few minutes ago), the sound of something approaching. A quick peek around the outpost building shows you that your robot escort is coming down the road. Behind it are several other robots of the not-so-friendly looking variety, with weaponized hands and bug-like eyes.
They surround a vehicle-like robot that they are leading in. On the back of this vehicle are a bunch of box things--coffins, if you will--that look identical to the one the man near you is in. They are some sort of stasis cabinets, and you can only guess that they are empty and meant for you.
You continue south to get ahead of the robots...
Their noises seem to stop at the outpost, and you get about 50 yards before you run into another one of those coffin-like stasis devices. This one has a woman inside it, of yellow clearance. Just like the other box, on the side of this coffin box is a display that is the color purple, along with three holes that are about the size of the crystals you hold.
You also see here the signs of a struggle, just like at the other box 50 yards up the trail. The scattered items around the coffin include:
1 laser pistol (with barrel)
1 pair of goggles (with a red button on the side)
1 whitish translucent crystal
1 bluish translucent crystal
1 set of "clean it all" toothpaste, soap, and disinfectant kit
1 walkie talkie
1 folded note, which when unfolded reads, "The message said we must not let EVE interact with The Computer. This is imperative, no matter what she says."
