Zhayko Terminal Talking PART 1

[17:04] <DM_> "> NO. THE GUARDIANS ARE MUCH STRONGER THAN THAT PALTRY CREATURE."
[17:05] <Zhayko_Drelez> >Who are the guardians?
[17:05] <DM_> >THEY ARE MACHINES
[17:06] <DM_> >CREATED BY THE FAILSAFE.
[17:06] <Zhayko_Drelez> >Where are they?
[17:06] <DM_> >THEY ARE A HERE. HOWEVER, I CANNOT LET YOU ACCESS THEM YET. I WAS GIVEN STRICT ORDERS ON THIS.
[17:06] <Zhayko_Drelez> >By who?
[17:07] <DM_> > THE FAILSAFE.
[17:07]  * Zhayko_Drelez looks surprised.
[17:07] <Zhayko_Drelez> >How long ago was this?
[17:07] <DM_> >ABOUT A THOUSAND SWEEPS AGO
[17:08]  * Zhayko_Drelez nods slowly.
[17:08] <Zhayko_Drelez> >When will I be allowed to access the guardians?
[17:08] <DM_> >WHEN THE APOCALYPTIC EVENT IN QUESTION HITS.
[17:09] <Zhayko_Drelez> >What apocalyptic event?
[17:09] <DM_> >THIS INFORMATION IS NOT IN MY DATABANKS.
[17:09] <DM_> >I CAN, HOWEVER, GIVE YOU INFORMATION ON WHERE IT MIGHT BE.
[17:10] <Zhayko_Drelez> >Do so
[17:11] <DM_> >THERE IS A MACHINE THAT WILL OPEN A SECRET PASSAGEWAY WHEN YOU USE A KEY ON IT.
[17:11] <Zhayko_Drelez> >Where is the machine passageway and key?
[17:12] <DM_> >THE KEY IS IN THE ROOM BEYOND ME
[17:12] <DM_> >THE MACHINE IS PROBABLY IN YOUR HIVE, IT REALLY DEPENDS ON IF YOU BUILT NEAR THE FAILSAFE'S OLD ONE.
[17:13] <Zhayko_Drelez> >Where was the Failsafe's hive?
[17:14] <DM_> >ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SMALL CLEARING OVER HERE
[17:14] <Zhayko_Drelez> >Perhaps I might have
[17:15] <Zhayko_Drelez> >So I am in possession of a secret passageway granting machine?
[17:15] <Zhayko_Drelez> >Which one is it?
[17:15] <DM_> >PROBABLY.
[17:16] <DM_> >IT IS DESIGNED TO SPIT OUT MAPS THAT LEAD HERE AS WELL
[17:16] <DM_> >HAVE YOU SEEN A MACHINE THAT DOES THAT
[17:16] <Zhayko_Drelez> >I have
[17:16] <Zhayko_Drelez> >It is why I am here
[17:17] <DM_> > I SUGGEST YOU ENTER THE PASSAGEWAY IMMEDIATELY.
[17:17] <Zhayko_Drelez> >Where is the passageway?
[17:17] <DM_> > THAT IS THE LAST PLACE THE FAILSAFE WENT BEFORE
[17:17] <DM_> > WELL
[17:17] <DM_> > I DON'T KNOW WHAT OCCURED
[17:18] <DM_> > IT SHOULD BE ACTIVATED BY THE MACHINE, AND EXCESSIVELY OBVIOUS.
[17:18] <DM_> > IT IS A STANDARD CLICHE.
[17:18] <Zhayko_Drelez> >I require the key then
[17:19] <DM_> > IT IS IN THE DOOR OVER ON MY LEFT (OR RIGHT SORO WASN'T GOOD WITH EUCLIDEAN GEOMETRY)
[17:19] <DM_> A door over in some direction opens.
[17:19] <Zhayko_Drelez> >I thank you for being useful
[17:19]  * Zhayko_Drelez steps away from the command prompt and heads towards the door.
[17:20] <DM_> You do so. When you enter the door, you enter a room with a soft red light coming from above.
[17:20] <DM_> A key lies on a pedastal in a keyhole.
[17:21]  * Zhayko_Drelez walks directly towards it and attempts to take it, assuming nothing built by the Failsafe will be trapped.
[17:21] <DM_> You take it, and walls suddenly slide closed around you.
[17:21] <DM_> Your pedastal starts moving upwards slowly.
[17:21] <DM_> Actually, scratch that.
[17:22] <DM_> It's flying extremely fast.
[17:22] <DM_> As you reach a ceiling, it rises, revealing the meadow that you entered Guardian Base 1 from.
[17:22] <DM_> The elevator screeches to a halt.
[17:23]  * Zhayko_Drelez blinks at the sudden turn of events.
[17:23]  * Zhayko_Drelez also, however, does not waste time, and immediately starts walking back towards his hive.
[17:24] <DM_> You start walking back towards your hive, and the journey is uneventful.
[17:25] <Zhayko_Drelez> Upon arriving back home, Zhayko stares at the plethora of devices strewn about the workshop.
[17:25]  * Zhayko_Drelez has no idea which one he got the maps from.
[17:25] <DM_> Well
[17:25] <DM_> you do
[17:25] <DM_> since it's still spitting out maps
[17:25] <DM_> The floor is covered in about two feet of maps
[17:25] <Zhayko_Drelez> Oh, well that's convenient.
[17:25]  * Zhayko_Drelez heads over to that one and tries to find a way to put the key in.
[17:26] <Zhayko_Drelez> And while he's at it, try to find a way to turn off the maps.
[18:43] <DM_> Roll Investigation
[18:44] <Zhayko_Drelez> !Roll 1d20+2
