Beginning June 25, 2017, Bounceyboy set out to play Root Double.  This is that story:

Mechanics
=========

At certain points in the game ("branches"), we get the choice to say how we feel about characters on a scale of min to max.  These branches are rated on importance (red = super duper important) Chat gets to provide input in the form of twitch robot emotes and Bboy will pick based on general consensus.  This value indicates how we feel about and how we trust others.

Major Characters
================

Watase Kasasagi (M): Our protagonist for the After route. A rescue worker for the special rescue squad SIRIUS. He's supposed to be the captain of the rescue squad, however, he seems to have lost his memories...

Kazami Tachibana (F): A rescue worker for the special rescue squad SIRIUS. She's the lieutenant of the rescue squad, and she's very calm and collected.

Jun Moribe (F): A rescue worker for the special rescue squad SIRIUS. She's the youngest member of the rescue squad, and what she lacks in physical ability, she makes up in enthusiasm.

Yuuri (F): A civilian who happened to be in LABO at the time of the disaster. She's pretty quiet and shy.

Ena Tsubakiyama (F): A civilian who happened to be in LABO at the time of the disaster. She's a teacher who's concerned about her kids who seem to be trapped here too...

Keiji Ukita (M): A researcher who works at LABO who was in the basement at LABO at the time of the disaster.

Mashiro Toba (F): One of Ena's students. What were they doing down in LABO at the time...?

Louise Yui Sannomiya (F): One of Ena's students. What were they doing down in LABO at the time...?

Natsuhiko Tenkawa (M): One of Ena's students. What were they doing down in LABO at the time...?

After storyline
===============

"Nine souls are trapped in LABO (Laboratory of Atomic and Biological Organization). They attempt to escape the facility in the face of that hopeless situation."

Chapter 1
=========

tl;dr
-----
A nuclear meltdown happens at a Lab.  We are the captain of a rescue team (along with big boob Kazami, and best waifu Jun) and get attacked by a monster which gives us amnesia.  We save some civilians: Yuuri, a shy bboySpooky waifu; Ena, a teacher; Ukita, a researcher.  We have meds to save us from the radiation but not enough on hand for the 9 hours we'll be here.  There are 3 children that we are hoping to find so they can use their telepathy to communicate with the surface.  Right before the chapter ended, we found one of our teammates and multiple other people dead in what looked to be a murder scene.

The Event
---------
On Sept 16, 2030, a large explosion caused destruction at LABO.  Rescuers formed 2 teams of 5 people and went in to save the survivors.  We are the captain of rescue team A, Watase Kasasagi. We found a waifu to save, but were attacked by a nondescript monster with strange powers that break our brain (amnesia, strange feelings).  We tried to escape, lost consciousness, and were awoken by our anime women rescuer team.

Our Team
--------
We fought a fire with our team and found another waifu (Yuuri Kotono) hiding under a desk.  Our hair caught fire and we didn't trust rescuer waifu, Jun Moribe, enough and we died (GAME OVER #1).  After we trusted her more, Jun was able to save Yuuri.  We told our crew about our amnesia, but not the monster.  We asked to be taken to the exit along with Yuuri.

We were told by big boob lieutenant, Kazami Tachibana, what our name is and that we're single ;). Yuuri is shy and her name bugs us (lost memories? bboySpooky).  We have lost contact with the other team and the surface.  We decided not to trust Yuuri since she was dressed like a waifu in a lab, bboyWTF.

On the way to the exit we run into closed bulkheads, likely due to the "Case N" (nuclear meltdown?) situation announced by the lab.  We found a Level 4 access card (belonging to Ukita) in our pockets and learned some about our available equipment (AD anti-radiation medicine, air tanks, etc.).

Area 3
------
Upon entering area 3, we found a woman (Ena "Professor" Tsubakiyama, high school teacher) dangling from an air duct.  She had tried to use the ducts to escape the locked passageway.

We found a researcher, Keiji Ukita, in a surveillance room.  We had run into him before our amnesia and taken his card to make him have to stay put in a room and not get hurt.

We looked at security footage and Ena recognized 2 of 3 kids from her class she subs for (kids are Mashiro Toba, Louise Yui Sannomiya, Natsuhiko Tenkawa).  Ukita also recognized them - the boy's mother works there and is his neighbor.  We also remembered their names, kinda.

We learned about "BC" (Beyond Communication) a telepathic ability that exists in 1/500 people, especially children.  We hypothesized that the children would be able to communicate to the surface.

We finally heard from our Commander Murakami over the radio.  We  learned that the nuclear reactor had a meltdown and they can't access the security system due to the fires.  It will take another 9 hours before lockout is over.  We learned about more AD medicine to help us survive.  We need to take a medicine every hour for every person, so we need more.

Exploring
---------
We headed out to find the kids and more meds.  We found out that the malfunctioning sprinkler system was due for inspection in two days.  We couldn't get to Area 4 due to a rubble-blocked passageway.  We found the door to Area N but didn't have access and radiation was bad.  We found some smoke but didn't trust ourselves and our team enough and opened a door to a fiery death (GAME OVER #2).  Trusting Kazami more, she saved us but then bitched us out.

We hunted down Yuuri who had run away when the fire exploded and then found a multiple murder scene with one of our team members, Dojima, dead.

Chapter 2
=========

tl;dr
-----
After finding Dojima's horribly broken body, we found some AD! ... Except it was broken. We took it anyways. Along the way to Area 4, we found an electrified puddle that Watase jumped over (the first cool thing he's done, according to Jun), and we made our way to Area 4. Here, we found out that the "girl" is important, and that Area N's radiation is 14000 mSv, which is lethal, even with AD. Kazami takes the broken ampule of AD, while everyone else takes a full one.

We proceeded split up into groups. Our group (Jun+Ena+Watase) reach the door leading to B2, and there... We find more fires and a high radiation level. But while we're here, we see one of the students, Louise. Both Jun and Watase chase after her as she runs away, but she runs off into another area. Jun and Watase follow after her, and find her in the next area! But... This area is SUPER high in radiation, we try to chase after her, but she runs away again. And then Watase proceeds to collapse.

Ena carries us out, and we fight a fire which prevents us from dying in a horrible explosion. From there, we find out from the emergency manual there is lots of AD in Areas 1, 3, and 5! Except... There are lots of fires there. So, we decide to head to the engine room to to turn on the sprinklers to help deal with the fires. To do so, we try to fix the card reader to the area that leads to the engine room. However, as Yuuri points out, there's a big scary fire that slowly builds up while Ukita is fixing up the card reader. So, instead, we have Jun crawl through the air duct to the other side to open up the gate. She succeeds! ... But she's lying unconscious on the ground due to a lack of oxygen. With the lack of air, Ena and Yuuri also collapse, so Watase and Kazami carry them while running to a safe room. From here, we decide to look for a way to turn on the sprinklers...

Murder Scene
------------
The bodies found were full of multiple bullet holes and Dojima had his bones twisted and broken.  We found a broken AD ampule.  Our AD med timer went off and we didn't have enough for everyone.  We forced Kazumi to let us take the broken ampule and everyone else took a full one.

Area 4
------
We came across an electrified puddle blocking the hallway but we jumped across it and removed the cable from the puddle so everyone could cross.

We received another broken call from Commander Murakami.  We told him about the murders and were told to protect the "girl".

We learned that the radiation in Area N is 14000, which is fatal even with AD.

Ukita has elected to stay behind while the rest of the group, including us, search for more AD.


Exploring
---------
Before we head out we split into two groups: Kazami with Yuuri, Jun and Ena with us.

Our group (Jun+Ena+Watase) reach the door leading to B2. We open the door to discover ANOTHER fire. In addition to the fire, the radiation level here is far too much for us too handle on half a dose of AD.

HOWEVER, we see Louise Yui Sannomiya (one of the students we saw earlier) in the flames glaring at us. We try to convince them that we are there to help and come towards us as it obviously dangerous as heck, but rather then listen, Louise runs further into the flames!

We all decide that we have to go after her, however due to the level of danger, Ena stay behind. Jun and Watase dash after Louise calling out to her. She pays no attention to us but instead proceeds to a gate leading to inner passageway. Surprisingly, Louise has a card on her and uses it to open the gate and we run in after her.

The Chase
---------

Inside the passageway there are no signs of fire. The Procyon alarm sounds off! The level is at 9307! We hesitate at the clear level of risk. Jun doesn't and we are convinced to proceed. We split up to look for Louise. The radiation seems to be affecting our skin and giving us a headache. We find Louise! And she runs away. We ignore the headache and run after Louise but a voice in our head keeps yelling us to "Stop!" the same voice that spoke to us before. We elect to ignore the voice but before we could continue a migraine hits us hard and we pass out.

When we wake up, Ena is carrying us and the series of events repeats itself. (Stuck in a loop despite the changes in trust?) (Game Over?)

We go back but this time instead of taking half the dose we take a full dose (fingers crossed)

We passed out again. However this time after waking up to Ena carrying us, we reunite with Yuuri and Kazami.

Yurri heads back to the control room. The group is worried about us because we passed out and wants us to retreat back up the stairwell while they fight the fire despite us having more of an AD dose. We oblige and start heading up the stairwell but then an explosion quickly makes us go back to discover that they died. We scream and cry and complain like a big baby and then die. (GAME OVER #4)

We lower Kazami's trust in hope to live! (GAME OVER #5) Well...same results.

After another game over (GAME OVER #6) we get the hint to maximize all the trust. This time we all retreated before the explosion, yay!


After the Explosion
-------------------

We are slightly hurt and Kazami has the same headache that was plaguing us before. We all head back to the control room. We meet up with Ena, Yuuri, Ukita again. Ukita has gotten access to a map of the area, including the area in B2 we just came back from with Jun and Kazami which is covered in red dots indicating its on fire. After seeing the map of the lower level we concluded it is so too dangerous and off limits.

Yuuri speaks up and tells everyone about a manual in case of a disaster. It tells that there is plenty of spare AD in Areas 1,3, and 5!

Despite this revelation the fires still make it impossible to get to the areas. Ukita then reveals that if they can get to the engine room, they can get the sprinklers back online to help extinguish the flames. B1 Area 3 has a ladder that leads to the engine room. We elect to fix the card slot instead of trying to fight the flames to get there.

We all head out to fix the card slot. While Ukita tries working on the card slot, we notice Kazami is getting weaker and slowly dying.
Yuuri speak up again! This time she lets us know there is a little bit of smoke behind us. Then out of nowhere this HUGE fire engulfs the passageway we're in (what? How did no one notice this until the last second???). We begin to fight off the fire while they still work on the card slot. Jun takes over for Ukita in trying to fix the card slot while Ena and Yuuri try not to breath in the smoke. The fire is so intense debris falls down from the ceiling but luckily we see an air duct. We give up on the card slot and instead focus on opening the air duct in hopes Jun can go through the duct to the other side of the gate and hopefully open it from there. We succeed in getting Jun to the duct and moments later the gate is opened!

We make it through!...to discover Jun is unconscious on the ground. Yuuri and Ena shortly fall as well and Kazami explains that its most likely due to oxygen density change caused by the fire and the AC being broken. Their path back is blocked by fire.

Kazami says we should just go for it and that B1 Area 3 is only 30 meters away and to carry the three with her. Giving max trust in our self and Kazami we are able to just barely make it inside B1 Area 3 (why didn't we ask Ukita to carry one?) Do we look for more AD or look to turn on the sprinklers? We elect to go find a way to turn on the sprinklers.
