Scene: The Vault, Zigursky Penitentiary

"Schrodinger's Penitentiary"

The journey though the access hallways to service elevators is dismal and bleak, constantly highlighted by the strobe-like flicker of emergency lights as alarms consistently drone in the background. Sporadic conflict can be heard here and there, leaving the intrepid trio in a perpetual state of uncertainty if their efforts have gone undiscovered. While time proves evidence that their efforts have gone without notice...the security features for existing door and elevator access require continuous impairment. The Warden's pass card fails to function, leaving Tenzing to apply more security countermeasures than he can remember...

"Are we going to be recieving any backup, Warden?" inquires the former Pilot as the group slowly penetrates the lower levels.

"The Parameter Guard should have already sent three squads within...one to the Core, the second to the Armory, the third to assist in containment, " replies the Warden as he checks his watch anxiously. "Approximately fifteen minutes ago, Longbow should've dispatched a detachment to reinforce the Parameter Guard...but since there hasn't been any radio chatter, I can only presume backup's not arriving fast enough."

He rests his hand upon the Pilot's shoulder who looks quite dismayed at the whole state of affairs and says, "No one ever hopes things like this occur, but this is what we signed up for. It was unexpected, but not unanticipated." Squeezing the Pilot's shoulder, he adds with a sincere look, "We got a job to do, son...we'll make it right. Paragon City is depending on us."

The Pilot merely nods, though seemingly uninspired, as the group continues their advance to the Armory...

***

The one thing that is most noticeable upon arriving at the fourth level, where the Armory lies, is the decided lack of...guards, inmates, anybody for that matter. What security features existed have been destroyed in decidedly improbable fashions. Emergency suppression turrets look to have been torn from the inside out, drones lie about completely devoid of charge, but the most startling is the remains of two Zigursky heavies which seem to have been fused through each other in an 'X' like pattern - the pilots didn't survive.

"Oh God..." is all the Pilot can muster. "Steady, Johnson..." intones the Warden though he likewise shows signs of being sincerly disturbed by the grisly display.

The Armory is a vast storage unit, about the size of a football field, likewise completely severed from the rest of Zigursky Penitentiary's infrastructure save for one port of entry. Unlike the surrounding parameter of cells, the Armory was built to withstand nuclear bombardment making it difficult to say if there was any place in Paragon City more secure. Alas, the massive reinforced doors to 'The Vault' are unguarded...and slightly ajar as flickering light emits sporadically from within.

How would everyone like to proceed?

Fury floated there, his glowering face matched by the red field around him. It surged and flowed, more like he was coated in red liquid that ignited into flame as soon as it hit the air. Fury himself was not focused on the others, but everything around them. He was seeking emotions other than the four people present. Even the most trained sniper still had feelings that he could detect. Of course, the machines had nothing Mark could sense that way, so he would have to stick to his ears and eyes...

The Vault, by nature of it's design, makes it difficult to ascertain what lies within...but one thing Marc is certain, a lingering wake of despair leads ultimately...here. It was an emotion he could sense all the way as the group made their way towards the Armory. Other than that, he is uncertain...he thinks he senses a few, but it feels like an army. How one could feel like so many, or so many feel like so few, confuses him to some degree.

Windwalker turns to the Warden.
I take it that these places have video recording of what happen in them.
Is there place near here I could try to access them.
We need to build a picture of what has happened and try work out why.
It also may tell us what we got left to face.


Odd question but:-
Does any of GM use of Tenzing tech skills fall under the following?
Ways of the Technology.
1 exp When you learn how use new technological item.
