Marv-N looks suspiciously at Gene. "You are only a red clearance clone with probably next to no skills in computer programming. Do you really think I can teach you how to upload such complicated software in the few moments we have here? We have to get out of here now. EVE has probably already dispatched some hybrid monster to make sure we don't get out of here."
He grabs a backpack and a laser pistol. "Oh, if something happens to me and I don't survive, all is not lost. Just go to the R&D sector vats, which is next to where you found the datadisk, and my new clone will be waiting to pick up where we left off. But please, let's make sure that doesn't happen. EVE will be on your tail the whole way."
He leads you out and to the right, down the tracks of "R&D: THE RIDE -- YOUR TOUR STARTS HERE."
OOC: To recall the fun you had with R&D: The Ride, see message 57 here: link to a message in this game
ALSO, HERE IS A REMINDER OF THIS AREA:
You peek through the curtained area, and see a number of drills and other machinery blocking the tracks. The far end has caved in, whether by accidental explosion or deliberation, you don't know.
On your left is another exhibit that was not finished. Actually, upon inspection, it looks like it was finished and then was in the process of being changed when construction was interrupted. It likewise shows hybrid creatures and a half painted picture on the back of the wall. The picture is of the same holographic woman sphere, but her arms are computers, and they are reaching out to embrace a giant computer screen. Under it is written, "EVE Loves The Computer!"
To your right is an access door, the closest thing to a security hatch you see around here. There are no apparent locks on the door, but there is yellow ribbon taping across the door that says: "UNDER CONSTRUCTION: DO NOT ENTER BY ORDER OF EVE!"
OOC: Previously, you went through the access door and found Marv-N there. He was using the Under Construction sign to keep EVE's minions out.
Now, with Marv-N leading the way, he takes you through the unfinished display. There is a dimly lit corridor beyond, and he starts taking you that way. "This is a shortcut to EVE's mainframe facility. I haven't been through here in awhile, though, because of, well, all the death and destruction."
He stops with you in tow as you exit onto a landing about 30 feet high. "Oh, no," he says.
You look down. You have entered some sort of production facility, and this room is a giant warehouse. Boxes and robot parts fill shelves that line the room. To your right, there is an assembly line with five robots making things. But they aren't exactly robots. They have various plant appendages and animal parts attached--part of EVE's crazy plan. There are three YELLOW clearance clones tied nearby. Obviously, they are next to be experimented on and grafted to whatever insane project the robots are tasked with creating.
If you dodge that area and follow the shelving area to the left, there are no robots, but there are security cameras and a turret.
Whichever way you decide to go, there is a door at the far end of the giant room that Marv-N says you must exit.
Overhead, you hear the soothing voice of EVE over the intercom state: "Real servants of the Computer drink EVE's oil, and they love it."
