Maddox searched fruitlessly in the VOID ROOM, hoping that he could spot a SPARE CORD among the messes of the excesses and

WAIT A MINUTE...

COMMAND: Ener: Ask them about the "Awakening Event". Also, ask them why does Daniel and Kelen accepted/searched for a job. And anotehr also, ask them about who is teh Engineer.


<ENER>

So what is this "Awakening Event"?


<ELOUF>

Quall, you can tell the story better.


<QUALL>

The Awakening Event is the spontaneous and rapid evolutionary event where many creatures gained the awareness of one-self. Or the awakening of consciousness. It said that we gained the ability to think rationally and irrationally and acquired wider range of emotions. Most of creatures went mad from the realization of one-self since they didn't know what to do with the newly developed traits. Some isolated themselves from others out of fear, some fought each other out of spite in small quarrels or bloody wars to assume dominance, and some made successful mass suicide attempts to free themselves from the harsher confine of reality.


But I don't quite agree with the aspect that the Awakening Event has anything to do with this Situation since the event occurred... a long time ago. There's no way we could be taking a step backward... or even another step forward if we already reached the peak of our mental capabilities.


<ENER>

Ok... What about Daniel and Kelen getting job from Engineer? And who's Engineer?


<ELOUF>

Beat me. From what Daniel and Kelen hinted about, I think the Engineer wanted them to assume control over some certain locations and... ummm...

<QUALL>

From what they said, the Engineer wanted them to repair something and reestablish themselves in the location in case anyone else came by. Daniel and Kelen figured that the jobs might offer good chances of finding out more about the Situation. I disagree. We have better chance of learning more about this place from Doctor Dodd and solve the Situation ourselves.


<ELOUF>

Yeah, that's about right. Since the Manager is stuck within someplace and Doctor Dodd is keeping himself busy in his research about the Situation here, it seems like the Engineer is trying to get everything here under control, whatever that is. As if it could do that without knowing what happening here in the first place...

• Ohh wow this is getting really interesting. And lol @ Maddox. We all missed it XD

  COMMAND: MADDOX: Take the ELECTRICITY CORD and call for ENER

  COMMAND: ENER: Throw MADDOX the LIGHTER + WELDER

  COMMAND: MADDOX: Use the LIGHTER + WELDER for light and plug in the ELECTRICITY CORD to operate the power switch/lever

• COMMAND:Ener: Ask them who is the "Manager" wich they talked about recently. 

  COMMAND: Maddox: Disconnect the CORD, call Ener to give him the LIGHTER + WELDER, then use the Cord in the upper part of the CORRIDOR. Then use His ID CARD to POWER the machine near teh COUCH.

<ENER>

So who is this Manager?


<QUALL>

Some sort of person who is in charge of... well, I don't know specifically.


<ELOUF>

He, she, or it could be in charge of something, like a project or team or even a whole organization. Perhaps someone important. Unfortunately, I heard from Kelen that the Manager is stuck somewhere, though that's not our priority. Our priority is meeting with Doctor Dodd.

Maddox, not amused by his own stupidity, resigned to pick up the elusive SPARE CORD and suffered the ITEM GET FANFARE...



DA DA DA DUNNNN!!!

Maddox acquired... a SPARE CORD!





And the resulting effect is the loss of power in the VOID ROOM!
Trapped by the darkness with the OUTLET being too high for Maddox to reach, he called out for his furry companion!





Ener, Elouf, and Quall were able to hear Maddox's desperate cries with their SUPERIOR HEARINGS.



<ELOUF>

Was that Maddox whom you referred as?


<ENER>

Grawr! That was him! Sounds like he needs my help! Thanks for everything, guy and... well...


<QUALL>

Oh you can call me guy too. I am not sensitive to gender titles.


<ENER>

Ok. As soon Maddox and I can get the NUMBER SLIP, we will meet you here. See ya later!


<ELOUF>

Take care. As quoted from the odd green graffiti on the wall: BE CAREFUL.

<ACTION>
And so, Ener soon arrived at the hole where he can hear Maddox's shouting from.



<MADDOX>

ENER!!!


<ENER>

Wow. You must really be afraid of the dark.

<MADDOX>

OH SHUT UP!!! Can I have my WELDER back, please?


<ENER>

Grawr, I like people who ask nicely :3 wait, why? I thought the VOID ROOM is giving you some nice lights.


<MADDOX>

Remember the CORD we replugged back a while ago? I found the SPARE CORD within it and disconnected it, but the power is out and I cannot reach the outlet by myself!


<ENER>

You got he SPARE CORD! HOORAY!!! Now we can resume!

CATCH!!!





<MADDOX>

Aahh, my sweet Iris Fire. How I won't ever leave you again.





<MADDOX>

LET DO THIS SHIT, AMIRITE?







After carefully reaching his checkpoint, Maddox plugged the SPARE CORD into the sockets and await for the power to come back on.



YES!!!



Remembering the last of commands, Maddox turned off his WELDER and climbed back down to the EASTERN CORRIDOR ROOM to look at the ODD CONTRAPTION.



Unfortunately, he doesn't have the ID CARDS that Ener is now carrying.

Also, it didn't seems like the ODD CONTRAPTION have a slot for the ID CARD anyway...

And it still not activated.

• COMMAND: ENER: Give 8 NUTS to MADDOX.

  COMMAND: MADDOX: Put the 8 NUTS to the NUMBER SLIP DEVICE

• COMMAND: ENER: Give 8 NUTS to MADDOX.



JUGGLES!





DA DA D...


<MADDOX>

Oh would you shut up already?! I know I got the 8 NUTS, for gosh darning sake!

Don't make me use my FRUSTRATED FACEPALM on you, damn Narrator.



Ok...


Maddox returned to use the NUTS CURRENCY on the ODD CONTRAPTION. He heard a soft beep again, just like the last time.



It works as it activated the machine, but it is unusable for now.

• COMMAND: MADDOX: Go back to the computer room and activate the ODD CONTRAPTION.

RuloCore

• BEEP!

  16!

[- ak -]

• COMMAND: MADDOX: Go back to the computer room and activate the ODD CONTRAPTION.



Can't because Maddox disconnected the CORD when he took the SPARE CORD.
And the OUTLET is too high for him to reach.

• But.. the other computer.
  
  this one. you can still go back there, right?

Nope. It been a long time since Chapter 1, but the SLIDING DOOR behind Maddox already closed tightly by itself back then. He couldn't go down there anymore.


Know any other computer nearby?
